Despite being situated on a busy street, guests generally feel secure and appreciate the vibrancy of the local area, which is replete with restaurants, cafes and convenience stores. The proximity to landmarks like Croke Park adds another layer of appeal for sports enthusiasts.
In essence, KGT House presents an excellent value for money, providing guests with a clean and warm accommodation option in a centralized location that allows for convenient access to Dublin's main attractions and amenities.

KGT House offers a breakfast experience that is largely appreciated by its guests, particularly for being included in the stay. Most visitors highlight the variety and completeness of the offerings, which typically include cereals, toast, jams, Nutella, pastries and drinks like tea, coffee and juice. Many find it a pleasant surprise, especially since it wasn’t prominently advertised. The breakfast room has been noted as nice and some have mentioned the breakfast to be quite abundant and lovingly arranged.
However, the service does have its drawbacks. The breakfast tends to skew towards sweet options with limited savory choices and sometimes consists mainly of pastries and cakes. Some reviews mention that breakfast starts too late for early risers, typically around 8:30 or 9 am. There are a few instances where breakfast was either subpar or not available due to COVID-19 restrictions, but these were often communicated too late to guests who had already paid for it.
In summary, the breakfast at KGT House is generally well-received for its inclusivity, variety and decent quality, although there are points of improvement, particularly regarding timing and occasional service disruptions.
Nestled in a bustling city location, KGT House offers a diverse range of accommodations that generally cater well to travelers seeking a practical, budget-friendly stay.

The functional nature of the rooms, including additional conveniences like desks, sinks and irons, makes it suitable for short stays and city trips.
However, the accommodations are not without their challenges. Ventilation and air quality issues are a common concern with rooms often described as stuffy, hot or humid. Guests in dormitory-style rooms report cramped conditions and poor ventilation, leading to unpleasant smells and a lack of fresh air. Noise is another drawback, both from within the building and the surrounding street, which can disrupt a quiet night's sleep.

Despite these issues, the location's accessibility and self-contained management via key codes are appreciated. Overall, KGT House's clean and well-equipped rooms make it a solid choice for short stays, albeit with the expectation of basic facilities and potential minor inconveniences.
KGT House offers a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of its beds, according to guest reviews. While many visitors found the beds to be quite comfortable, clean and cozy with the added benefit of privacy curtains, others reported issues with discomfort, cramped spacing and worn-out mattresses.

Cleanliness was another point of contention with some beds reported as dirty and having visible stains on the bedding. The general consensus revealed that while some guests enjoyed restful nights, others were less satisfied, feeling the beds were inadequate or uncomfortable due to issues like spring exposure and limited space.
Guest reviews for KGT House vary widely in terms of cleanliness, but several clear trends emerge.

Additional praise includes the daily cleaning service, where bed linens are changed and the rooms are consistently tidied.

Complaints include "the entire building stunk of faeces," "legion of cockroaches on the kitchen/dining room wall," and instances of stained bedding. Specific areas like the bathrooms and floors also received mixed reviews with comments about clogged sinks, dust and a general lack of thorough cleaning in some cases.
