Answer 2

Yes, a friend stayed there with her daughter last year - I think her daughter was around 9 or 10 at the time, if that makes any difference. She thought it was really nice, it has good facilities (I think it has internet facilities, a hairdryer etc in each room or something like that) and was pleased with the service. Rathmines is very accessible to the city centre - it's so close it's almost an extension of the centre itself, esp. Lower Rathmines Rd, as it's a sort of main street through the area.

You can walk to the city centre in about 10-15 mins or so, or there's loads of bus routes that'll take you there in about 5 minutes (traffic depending - Rathmines can get congested) e.g 14, 15A/B/C, and so on. Although the routes might have changed since I was last in the area, so have a look at the Dublin Bus website for specifics.

The only possible problem I can think of is noise - Rathmines is a very studenty area and there's quite a few bars, clubs etc around. Having said that, my friend had no hassles, and said she wasn't disturbed at all. Enjoy your stay!

Answer 3

You're very close to the city centre in Rathmines, just a short bus ride away, or you can simply walk.
