Grafton Street Boutique Aparthotel by City Break Apartments

Right in the centre of it all. Just note, its called CityBreak Apartments and the entrance is on HARRY ST. next to McDaids pub. Walkable to the majority of Dublins tourist attractions, tons of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and stores. Parking was about a block away, at €30/day. Room was clean, fully equipped, and had an optional Murphy bed tucked in. Windows were basically triple paned so only the live music from across the street on Saturday night could be heard. Basic traffic noise you couldn't hear. Would be great for an extended stay. M&S not far away along with pharmacies for needs. Although there was heavy pedestrian traffic, the streets were kept clean, were safe with walking and bicycling Garda patrolling. Taxi access was limited esp on an active Saturday night. Would stay again other than difficulty finding the access

Very nice property with modern rooms and appliances. Very minimalist clever design for storage usage. The property is in the heart of the Grafton area so it’s close to just about everything. There is a lot of traffic until later in the evening and people on staff were very helpful. THE STUDIOS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND. But if you find the Bruxelles pub, and stand next to the Phil Lynott statue, turn around and look directly across the street it is right next to McDaid’s pub on the left hand side is a door into the studios. Of course the door does not Say Grafton St., Studios, it took us half an hour to figure out how to get in the door and which door it was. We finally called and they told us to look for the door that says “CITYBREAK APARTMENTS “. That’s the entry. Do not be concerned that this is such a high traffic and noisy area. The studios have air-conditioning and double pane windows that shut out virtually all the sound. This was very nice.

Excellent stay in Dublin at Grafton Street Studios. Washer/dryer was great feature in our room, but needed clearer instructions and no laundry powder is provided. Great kitchenette, very comfortable. Amongst all the night life, but great soundproofing. Overall, excellent, very recommended.

Elevator was broken for 2 nights of our stay. Had to bring luggage up to 3rd floor. We’ve stayed here before and would stay again based on the location.

This was the perfect spot! The apartment was fantastic and right on Grafton street. Parking in the 24 hour lot is pricy, 45 euros per day but i suppose it's the price you pay to be in the city center.

Check-in was a bit dicey as the young girl at the desk was somewhat inattentive at her job. The elevator was broken for our entire stay. We were n the top floor. Housekeeping is patchy at best. The best part of this property was the price at a very central location.

We had a great stay at this property. AC worked well. There is a lift. The area is fantastic for just about everything because it's on Grafton Street, a pretty swanky part of Dublin, with lots of bars, restaurants, fast food, grocery stores and other shopping. It's only about an 8 or 9 minute walk to the Temple Bar Pub. The other great thing about this property is the in-suite washer/dryer. It also has a full kitchenette with everything you'd need for cooking your own meals. It's an engineering marvel to see what can be done with a relatively small space.

Excellent location to explore Dublin and very close to restaurants, bars, shopping and most attractions. The hotel had no staff on location between 6:00 pm and 10:00 am. This was an issue the night our key fob did not work!!

Using the Upkey app was a problem. The system locked us out at 9 pm and we had to get the manager to drive over and let us in and give us key cards instead. Management was so nice! Upkey is not a good choice.

Rooms Too Hot / Windows only open an inch & Air Con not working

Great location, lovely well equipped and clean apartment.

We enjoyed our stay at the Grafton st studios. It was very quiet at night, even when near bars and lots of people restaurants. The lobby area smelt damp but the room was fine so unsure what the smell was. Accessible to lots of Dublin sights transport. Bed was smaller than we had booked (booked king-got queen). There was a washing machine but very complex so needed to download manual to ensure correct settings. Overall nice stay.

Very clean, excellent front desk staff

First of all, the place is super hard to find. It's not on Grafton St. as advertised and the sign on the building is NOT Grafton Studios. I paid for a room with a KING SIZE bed and a twin bed. We got a QUEEN and a twin (NO bed sheets or comforter) When I asked for the KING bed, I was told that in Ireland, it is custom for a king bed to actually be the size of a queen size. From our experience around the country, that is NOT TRUE. At five o’clock, when I asked for bed sheets and a comforter for the uncomfortable 4" twin bed, I was told that they would send housecleaning up. Never happened. I wrote an e-mail around 10:30 to complain about it to 2 different adresses. I never got a response. However, at 12:30, someone woke us up by knocking at the door and left ONE bed sheet on the door handle! NO comforter. IT WAS PAST MIDNIGHT!!! Scared the hell out of me. As for the AC, it's impossible to adjust. It's really cold and loud as hell. When we managed to change the temperature, it's started making this loud metallic rattling sound that would go on and of! But, when you turn off the AC off, the room fills with a foul smell of sewage. Except for the mildew in the bathroom, the room is clean. The bed is okay, but there's only one bed sheet and a very warm comforter. No place to store you clothes or luggages other than on the floor. The room feels cramped. You barely hear the parties on the street, but the stomping for the apartment above is so disturbing

Location is wonderful. Room was perfect for our needs. The bathroom (especially shower) looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned. Beyond that, it was a great place to stay and we’d stay again!

Property was clean and comfortable. In the heart of the downtown so ideal for walking, shopping and local restaurants.

The studio has all the mod cons but I've stayed here four times now and it gets worse every time. I always think it's just a one-off but sadly, no. The front door bell doesn't work, the receptionist looks bored, the whole building has a weird foul smell like it's been cleaned with a dirty mop and they didn't even bother to put the Christmas lights up this year. The have the picture online of the edge apartment facing the front of the building but then shove you at the back. The only real advantage to any other place is the location and that's my reason for booking but I won't again. Book a hotel room instead and enjoy the perks unless you're on a budget and plan to cook for yourself.

Very central, room spotless - door app took a little getting used to but very slick once we familiarised ourselves.

Everything about this property was great! The location is perfect, rooms are clean & quiet. Entry is easy.

Found it to be a bit too loud. Between the partying on the streets and some rowdy hotel guests it was a bit loud at night. Also, found the homeless person sleeping in the stairwell to be a bit off putting. The room itself was clean and nice, though smaller than expected and I was expecting a small room.

The property is in the heart of busy Grafton Street and close to many of Dublin’s attractions. The double-glazed windows minimised any outside noise and we slept well in the comfortable bed. The cooking facilities were uniquely very compact but easy to access and use. Highly recommended for somewhere central in Dublin City.

Great apartment - needs better soundproofing. Music and street noise until all hours of the night. Lovely place if you are a sound sleeper

My stay at Grafton Street Studios was OK. It is a fantastic location and the apartment was pretty close to what I was expecting. I was in an accessible apartment but I am not disabled so I had a huge bathroom with the tiniest sink I have ever found in a hotel. There was no where to store my stuff. No cupboards in the bathroom or wardrobe in the main apartment. There was no safe in the room either so I was a little worried about security for my laptop while I was out. There was also no comfortable chair to sit in while watching TV or having a coffee. On the plus side, the place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen would have been really useful had I needed it. The elevator in the building is very small which means I used the stairs a lot but if you had disabilities I imagine it would be a long wait to get up and down the building and if anyone has any luggage in the lift then there is very little room for anything else.

Compact w many amenities in studio apartment which is smaller than pictures indicate. Very walkable location.

Studio mit Klimaanlage und gut ausgestatteter Küche, auch ein großzügiges Bad vorhanden. Leider fehlt komplett die Ablage für Kleidung. Wir hatten unsere Sachen dann im Koffer gelassen, für 1 Woche ist das okay, für längere Aufenthalte nicht so gemütlich. M&S und auch Lidl in der Nähe. Trotz guter Isolierung teils bis 3h nachts noch laute Unterhaltung, aber damit muss man rechnen, wenn man in diese Ecke ein Zimmer hat.

The location is perfekt. The studios are too small and not practicable furnished. May be suitable for younger visitors .

In the heart of everything; we were only there for one night and the unit was in a very loud location; we actually had a live band right outside our window - luckily the windows were sound proof. Great for a couple of nights. Nice and Clean; not great for a family- probably best suited to a night out on the town kind of place.

Great location; clean as can be; perfect for two, related or not! (king bed and murphy bed single - both very comfortable. Tough to find entrance as it is not on Grafton Street - instead find Bruxelles Bar as it is directly across from there on Harry Street. Since it is a pedestrian way, your best bet is to get to the Westbury Hotel as it is diagonally across the street.

Very poor check in services.

There is NO parking in Dublin!! The check in process was extremely confusing as they aren’t on property and they “sent me something” a couple of days prior to fill out. That was not the easiest way to check in as we had sketchy internet throughout Ireland. Once we were in, our stay was comfortable, but no access to a human person except during the weekday morning and afternoon. We know not to rent a car next time!! :)

Location is a good as it gets. Everything on your doorstop. Reception staff really friendly and very helpful

I like how centralized this property was—I was able to get almost everywhere I wanted to go within a 10 minute walk. Very lively area and lots to do. I actually extended my stay and they were very helpful in accommodating me. I’d absolutely recommend staying here.

A great location tucked away just off Grafton St. Very quiet. Helpful staff. I would recommend this to friends & stay here again.

My new favorite place to stay in Dublin! It’s in the perfect location, centrally located. The rooms were gorgeous, clean and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We arrived earlier than our check in time and were able to leave our luggage in a separate room with the hotel staff. Then was called as soon as our room was ready. Great service!

Using the Upkey app was a problem. The system locked us out at 9 pm and we had to get the manager to drive over and let us in and give us key cards instead. Management was so nice! Upkey is not a good choice.

We really enjoyed the location of this property. It was within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit.

Perfect location!

Convenient, comfortable location in the heart of Dublin.

Enjoyed being within walking distance to historical sites and pubs/restaurants. It was a little difficult to find entrance.

Great location - easily accessible to everything

Definitely a beautiful room and the proximity is perfect to explore and see Dublin. The main drawback is that if you’re looking for a hotel style experience, this isn’t it. There’s obviously no room service, but if you’re even looking for extra toilet paper in the early morning, be prepared to walk to Lidl down the road.

The accommodation was clean and tidy, it was freshly cleaned on arrival (you could still smell it). The accommodation is located in the pedestrian zone of the city centre, all sights, bars and pubs are within walking distance, the accommodation is very central. The building is equipped with a lift. Breakfast is not offered, but that doesn't matter, you can always find something to eat or drink in the vicinity. The rooms on the 4th floor are equipped with air conditioning. The bathroom has a spacious shower. The kitchenette is well equipped with amenities for up to 3 people (in a double room). The staff was very friendly and accommodating, we found our stay safe and pleasant.
