Make sure you select the 1-bedroom suite. The rooms with balconies are X01, X07, and (I think) X25, where the X is 1,2,3,4, and maybe 5. These are the corner suites.
X07 and X25 have wrap-around balconies.
If it doesn't offer them to you, it may be because your smoking preferences isn't available - click on 'show all' or whatever the wording is, and everything available will get listed.
Right next door is a large-ish pedestrian area (there's a college right behind the hotel) and so the area is awash in bagel/coffee shops, little restaurants, and a couple of super market-type places. All just a few steps away.
Kudos bar downstairs is nice, albeit a little pricey (but they always have cold Guinness

) and after hours you go the the resident's bar in the back - same folks, same drinks, but only guests allowed in. Drink all night if you so desire.
O2 just down the block - more cabs than cars in Dublin, so never a problem getting around.
All in all, we loved the place and for 10,000 points/night it was the bargain of the year for us.
