I
had
the
misfortune
of
needing
to
be
in
Dublin
on
a
rugby
weekend
after
St
Patrick's
Day,
meaning
all
accommodation
was
eye-wateringly
expensive.
Although
this
inflation
applied
to
all
premises
on
the
night
I
stayed,
I
nonetheless
have
to
review
the
establishment
in
relation
to
how
much
it
cost
even
if
I
paid
an
above-average
price.
Basically,
it
was
fine.
The
proprietor
was
friendly
and
carried
my
luggage
up
to
my
room
on
the
top
floor,
plus
offered
a
late
check-out
of
12pm.
The
room
itself
was
clearly
newly-refurbished
and
comfortable,
although
tiny
(fine
for
single
occupancy
for
one
night;
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
there
for
much
longer
with
two
people),
and
the
bathroom
was
similarly
compact
but
clean
(though
the
Saniflo
system
a
tad
erratic
and
alarmingly
noisy
when
it
spontaneously
came
into
action).
The
bed
and
linens
were
good
quality.
On
the
downside,
however,
there
was
no
way
to
cool
the
room
down
aside
from
opening
the
window
and
the
street
noise
-
and
noise
of
building
work,
of
which
much
is
happening
in
the
area
-
was
noticeable
even
with
it
closed.
The
arrangement
for
making
hot
drinks
was
also
odd,
necessitating
taking
the
kettle
across
the
room
to
a
plug
socket,
boiling
the
water
(and
supervising
it
as
it
did
not
appear
to
have
an
automatic
off
switch),
then
unplugging
it
and
carrying
it
back
to
the
tea
station
full
of
hot
water.
A
cordless
version
would
have
been
much
better
and
safer.
Bigger
cups
would
also
be
nice.
The
biggest
problem
with
this
place
is
not
really
its
own
fault,
but
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
my
room
was
what
I
assume
was
a
broken
burglar
alarm
that
erratically
but
consistently
dispensed
nerve-ruining
noises
every
10-30
seconds
from
5am
onwards,
rendering
sleep
impossible.
I
cannot
comment
on
the
breakfast
provision,
therefore,
as
I
missed
it
in
my
refusal
to
admit
defeat
on
the
attempt
to
gain
some
precious
zzzs
(I
will
admit
my
failure
to
get
more
sleep
prior
to
this
occurrence
was
my
own
fault
for
getting
in
very
late
the
night
before,
but
nonetheless
it
was
tantamount
to
some
kind
of
insanity-inducing
sleep
torture).
In
sum:
if
it
does
not
cost
you
over
200
EUR
to
stay
the
night
and
there
are
no
alarming
noises
happening
in
proximity,
this
is
a
pleasant
and
comfortable
place
to
stay
so
long
as
you
are
happy
with
not
having
very
much
space.
If
you
had
luggage
you'd
probably
need
to
put
it
on
the
landing.
