“Central Dublin aparthotel, odor complaint”
Zanzibar Locke has a perfect central Dublin location — the Ha'penny Bridge, bar street, supermarkets, sights and trains all at the door — with a stylish lobby, delicious breakfast, a decent gym, and large, well-organized, quiet rooms holding everything needed. Staff are friendly and finding the hotel is easy. One dissatisfied stay, though, reports a yellow-stained pillow reverse, a strong bathroom smell that could not be fixed — no room change was offered, only a spray — dim lighting, a construction site right outside the window, and the rate falling after booking.
