Steps away from excellent pubs and an easy walk to the river, hop on hop off bus, etc.. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The building is old but nicely kept and clean. They serve a great breakfast. Great value here. Convenient to Paddywagon to embark on any single or multi day tours you might be considering.

Location was great, and the B&B is super quaint. There were just a couple things that could be improved to get full ratings. For example, one of the glasses in the room was really dirty. Also, fabric softener would do the towels a wonder. They could also update the lights in the bathrooms because they were dark and yellow.

Good location. Most of the staff were friendly. The room was initially really cold, so we had to get the staff to show us how to work the heater (wasn't immediately obvious). Some hot water, but not consistently.

Not worth it at all
Would never stay there again. Bad neighbourhood, bathroom was filthy, the water coming from the taps was a yellowish - brown in colour, my room backed on to an alley with constant truck traffic, so it was noisy. I literally left after an hour. Dropped my keys off, walked out the door and never came back. They got my money, but I didn't care, I was not going stay there any longer than I had to

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place
Place was not clean. Found hair on the sink. Hot water didn’t work in the shower. Shower was so tiny I barely fit in there. The room was so cold. I tried turning up at the Heat and that didn’t work. Outlets behind the bed didn’t work. Lots of street noise. Had to go up seven flights of stairs with a 20 kilo bag. That wasn’t fun.

Great area, spacious room!
Located in a great area near shopping streets and not a far walk to Dublin Castle or other points of interest! We walked to everything and found the hotel pretty Central. A tad noisy because it's downtown but quiets near midnight, not outrageous. Room was bigger than I had expected for what European hotels were described to me as. Bed was fairly comfy.

Very near by to train and bus stations. If you are joining the Paddy Wagon Tours, most convenient as pickup point Paddy Palace is just next to hotel. And within 15 mins walk to town city and shopping.

Convenient location, only a few minutes' walk to major sightseeing, Connolly Station, and tour departures. The room and facilities were clean upon our arrival, and the staff is very friendly, especially the adorable dog June that greets all of the guests. Our room and the hallways were in need of a little maintenance, but it was purely cosmetic and didn't interfere with our stay. A little new grout in the shower and a fresh paint job wouldn't hurt.

Chose this hotel because it was close to where our tour was leaving from early in the morning and returning late the following night. Hotel staff were very pleasant. Nice, clean accommodations. They "stored" our luggage free when we arrived early and stayed late. Only concern was you have to carry bags up quite a few steps to second floor - then there is an elevator.

Homophobic hotel owner
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and were made to feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. At check in, the male hotel owner interrogated us about our bed choice (two women wanting only one bed), did not hide his disapproval, and then was generally rude to us every time we saw him. Right before we left we met a woman hotel owner, who was very nice and helpful. This review might be different if we had only encountered her.

Decent Basic Accommodation in Dublin City Centre
I was only there for one night and picked it because it was close to a stop for the airport bus. It was very convenient to an excellent restaurant in my guide book and not far from the main shopping streets. The room was very basic, the reception person helpful, the wi-fi strong, and that's about it.

We stayed here on our first night in Ireland after a super early arrival in Dublin and had a really nice stay. The hotel is very conveniently located and, though parking is not included, there is an easily accessible municipal lot where overnight parking was pretty reasonably priced. Walking distance from central Dublin restaurants and bars. The room was comfortable though the twin beds are very narrow. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Bleach smell overpowered my sleep.
Just in Dublin for one night for work. Arrived quite late to the guesthouse. The man at reception was friendly. In the room: It was clean. The toilet door had been left open and there was a medical grade bleach smell coming from it which was on the verge of gag strength so I had to open the windows and close the door as the whole room was overbaring from it. Other than the intense smell which I think resulted in me having a pretty bad nights sleep, it was ok.

Dublin get away!
The weather was cold and the remains of the February snow storm was still all around. But my trip was not for the weather but to visit Dublin for its famous people and history. My hotel/bed breakfast was accommodating the location was out of the way but did not want to stay in the Temple bar area it would have been too noisy. The room that I stayed in was facing an alley where it was a receiving area for the building next door, so in the morning it was very noisy. The breakfast was very good the staff very friendly.
