I LOVED the keys, though finicky, I just adore how they’ve maintained the property. The room was perfect for a solo traveler staying for a few days - if I had more luggage I’d say a bit cramped, but it felt just like home. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, and the fact that they had a night porter is phenomenal. My check in and check out was very straightforward. I’d stay again!
Just the location really, it didn’t fit ‘me,’ it was very quiet and family friendly - neither bad, I felt incredibly safe - but being in my mid-20s, I think being closer to city centre would’ve been better for me. The water pressure was low in the shower; my room faced a wall (but that wasn’t that bad, I actually enjoyed the privacy).

Spacious clean rooms. Lovely location if you dont mind a walk into town. Very nice restaurants nearby. Nice breakfast. Irish breakfast is not exceptional but fine. The fruit salad was excellent and delicious soda bread. Good value overall.
I asked for fresh milk for tea in our rooms and was refused. They must have had milk in the kitchen so I dont know why. Also confusion on the first morning about breakfast.We paid in advance so should have been entitled to the full buffet & hot breakfast but were told only Irish or continental. I queried on the second morning and we were entitled to full breakfast.

Great location- very safe & with excellent transport. Very friendly & helpful staff. Room was cosy and even though I was kindly upgraded to a bigger room, I liked the single smaller one more as it was brighter and more than enough for my needs. Bed was super comfortable, the room was very warm and water in the shower warm too. Everything was in a perfect working condition. I'd stay again for a few nights.
I liked almost everything, really! Some neighbours upstairs were a bit too noisy at night. The shower made some noises when on and the water temperature changed a bit during my shower but it was a quite minor issue all things considered.

A great property just outside of the city center. Very accessible however there are only stairs and no elevators so may not cater to everyone. You have peace and quiet in safe neighbourhood. There's a bus stop right outside the property that brings you directly into the city Center with buses going multiple times a day. There's also another bus stop a 5 minute walk away that provides an Airport bus service. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Was on the pricier side for just a 2 night stay as location was not smack bang in city Center

Very pleasant, perfectly clean room in a wonderful central area of Dublin. The staff is friendly. The room has everything that is needed for a short stay. Our room looked exactly as on the photos, nicely decorated, real wooden floors, new furniture. Good value for money.
The shower head was somewhat antiquated in an otherwise perfectly maintained bathroom. The Continental breakfast contained no vegetables of any kind, not even a slice of cucumber. After booking the room, the staff asked if we would like to avail of free parking, and then in the next message told us that it actually cost 6 euro per day. This rate is very fair for central Dublin and the parking spaces are spacious, but why didn’t they state the price in the first message?

The poperty is right in front of a bus stop, so it is so easy and convenient to move around town. The rooms are super clean, the Irish Breakfast is an absolute MUST (don’t get the continental, if you are apprehensive, take a leap of faith, you’re going to love it). But what completely sets this place apart and what was an 11/10 for us, is the staff. The staff is absolutely amazing. They were so incredibly warm and accommodating. Thank you to every one of you on the team who worked so hard to ensure such an exquisite stay for us.
There were absolutely no problems whatsoever.

My room was surprisingly small but had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable and I received a bottle of water and coffee the next morning. The staff did a great job getting me an Uber (Free Co.) to the airport the next morning. My room was very close to the front door, which made it easy to move my luggage to the outside step. Crucial - I was able to check in very late, at 1:30 a.m.
I couldn't get the tiny shower to turn on so had to wash in the sink. There was a space in front of my door wide and deep enough for my key to slip into as I was wiggling it into the very loose keyhole.

The personel was so friendly and informative, made sure that the stay would be increadible. The room was very tidy, clean, had everything one needs. It was impecably cleaned every day of the say. The kitchen staff were very mindful and helpful about all the food intolerances. The location is great, the city centre, all the shops and restaurants are quite close. The house has interesting history, and it's great that the current owners values that. Overall, my best stay so far.

Friendly service We arrived at 12.30 the room was ready and we were giving the keys exceptionally early 2 pm is check in . Friendly with my child who often wanted more milk and bags to tidy the room as we're there four days. Selection of breakfast both very hard to choice as so lovely choices. And I would definitely stay here again My child lost her phien on checkout found promptly and sending in cargo back to us in UK. Honesty and amqzing customer services
The location was a little far we did most commuting via uber And some by air coach The hotel is accessible by the 700 air coach a d was good service

Location was good, various coffee and restaurant places were a short walk away including a small grocery store. A bus stop was right outside the lodge was a bonus. One km walk away was the Landsdown train station as well. On the day of arrival we had the choice of two rooms which was fortunate for us, 3rd floor vs ground floor.
The room was too hot and the bedding (a thick duvet) was too hot for us so we requested just sheets which were available.
