When booking two 2-bedroom 2-bath apartments (one with a washer/dryer), the website showed modern apartments with new, clean furniture. We were told ahead of time that the units with the washer/dryer were across the street, which was okay. Upon arrival, part of our family stayed in the room with 2 bed 2 bath (without washer) near Tesco in the ACTUAL... More

Do not be fooled by the web site I am submitting this review simply as a warning to anyone who might be considering accommodations in the Ivy Exchange complex through stayDublin. Our experience only confirms substandard service provided by this organization as identified by the previous reviews. Despite the protestations of Ms Deirdre Treacy, General Manager, it was obvious to... More

We stayed for 3 nights in July (2 adults and 2 children). The carpeting in the common areas is filthy and gives a terrible first impression. Don't expect the apartment to look like the ones on the website. We had no trouble finding the apartment but the directions that we received about how to access the apartment were incorrect. Luckily... More

We recently stayed there in a 3 bedroom apartment. I have never been so motivated to write a letter of complaint to the management of the facility. That was more than 2 weeks ago, I have had no reply; despite me following it up. I have never posted on Trip advisor before, and we have vacationed all over the world,... More

After reading some concerning reviews we arrived at these apartments a little nervously! They are situated down a small side street off a busy road about 5 mins walk from O'connell street. Security was good. We booked 2 apartments. Sadly they were not on the same floor but this was not too much of a problem. The apartments were clean... More

Where to start? I wish we never started with this booking. It took us 2.5 hours to get an Apartment & key only to find the Apartment filthy, toilets not even flushed. Greasy mugs, no toilet roll or soap! Walls & carpets stained with cigs & alcohol. Layers of scum on the bath.. Management of this operation is deplorable. Nearly... More

We stayed in February of this year as part of a surprise trip to Dublin for my partners 30th birthday. We hired two apartments to which we found both were filthy (Patio doors so filthy they looked slightly misted. Aspects broken/damaged (Blinds, the toilet flusher and various other bits). The beds are in desperate need of replacing as the springs... More

We stayed in the Ivy Exchange Apartments for a concert in Croke Park - mainly due to lack of other options available and its good location. When we arrived at approximately 3pm (check-in is from 2.30) we navigated our way to the key safeboxes on the second floor, only to find that ours was empty. We decided to head on... More

The Apartment is off a side street but it didnt smell and we saw no funny business going on with prostitutes. The instructions for getting the key are properly explained but you do have to concentrate and follow them exactly. The apartments were very secure. Very centrally situated only 2 mins walk from O'Connell Street. We had a 2 bedroom... More
