Guest Reviews
Pia House boasts a prime location that perfectly balances convenience and tranquility. A short ride from Dublin's vibrant city centre, it offers easy access to key destinations with numerous bus routes and a nearby train station. Guests appreciated the 10 to 30-minute walks to downtown, providing an enjoyable stroll through the city. The hotel's proximity to Croke Park and quick access to public transport makes it an excellent choice for concert-goers and city explorers alike. With its ideal position just outside the bustling center, it ensures a peaceful stay while remaining well-connected, making Pia House a highly recommended spot for visitors looking to explore Dublin efficiently.
Guests at Pia House had varied experiences regarding breakfast. While there are some snacks available, such as toast, jam, peanut butter, fruit and coffee, the breakfast is quite basic and does not meet all expectations. Those who prefer a warm or more substantial meal might need to purchase items from a nearby supermarket or choose from the breakfast options available in the vicinity. Additionally, the communal kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals if desired and complimentary tea and coffee are always on hand. However, some guests noted instances of scarce breakfast supplies and issues with spoiled bread. Overall, the breakfast provisions are minimal and self-service oriented, relying on nearby external options for more complete meals.
Pia House offers an affordable lodging option in the area, where guests have found the rooms to be clean, cozy and surprisingly comfortable despite their small size. Although the rooms are basic and could use more soundproofing, they are functional and well-maintained with clean bathrooms and good water flow in the showers. The house is noted for having a warm and cozy atmosphere and the owner is described as very nice and welcoming.
However, potential guests should be aware that the shared spaces in the house are not always up to standard in terms of cleanliness with some areas reported as dusty and dirty. The venerated river view advertised is actually of a concrete garden and a cinder block wall, which could be a letdown for some. Despite the small room sizes and the shared bathrooms, the facilities seldom suffer from congestion, allowing guests the convenience of access when needed.
Overall, Pia House is suitable for those looking for a budget-friendly stay in the city, provided they prioritize basic comfort and cleanliness in private quarters over luxury or scenic views.
Pia House gathers mixed reviews when it comes to the comfort of their beds. Several guests commend the beds as comfortable and soft with praise for the bedding's comfort and cleanliness. However, some guests have noted that the mattresses and box springs are old, leading to an uneven and lumpy sleeping surface. A few have mentioned that the springs are noticeable, causing discomfort and noise. While some appreciated the softness of the beds, others found the experience less satisfactory due to the outdated mattresses and frequent disturbances from the springs.
Pia House receives mixed feedback when it comes to cleanliness. On the positive side, many guests note that the establishment is extremely tidy and well maintained with clean rooms and a generally clean environment. Additionally, the clean rooms and bathrooms are frequently highlighted, suggesting that the core elements of guest accommodation are adequately taken care of. The owner is also described as pleasant, adding to the overall comfortable feel of the place.
However, areas of concern do impact the overall impression. Common areas such as the kitchen and outside patio could benefit from more rigorous cleaning, as guests have pointed out cleanliness issues in these shared spaces. The bathrooms, in particular, garner criticism for being small, worn out and sometimes even moldy. This extends to shared bathrooms, which many reviewers feel do not meet basic cleanliness standards. Occasionally, visible mold in showers and filthy conditions mar the experience.
Additionally, there are occasional mentions of noise disturbances and a general need for better maintenance. The location, although a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride from the center of Dublin, does not entirely compensate for these cleanliness and maintenance concerns, according to some reviews.
In summary, while Pia House has its strong points of being well maintained and clean in many aspects, there is room for improvement in the cleanliness of shared facilities and overall maintenance.
Pia House has garnered glowing reviews for its exceptional staff, particularly highlighting the friendliness and helpfulness of its hosts. Visitors frequently mention the owner, Conor and another key staff member, Roy, who stand out for their kindness, availability and attentiveness. Their hospitable nature makes guests feel truly at home, offering thorough explanations during check-in and providing excellent advice throughout their stay. The staff's approachability and genuine care for guests are consistently noted, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Clean and comfortable facilities, combined with outstanding communication and accommodating service, round out the highly positive experiences reported by those who have stayed at Pia House.
