Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
"Great Staff!"
Dublin Skylon Hotel
"The staff were very helpful. The property was accommodating for 3 adults. Parking was easy. Distance from Dublin was close enough but not too close! Lovely fish and chips shop across street!"
Egans Guest House
"Very nice facility in a nice part of town. Room was comfortable with everything we needed. Staff friendly and helpful. Not super close to downtown, but a short drive, or an easy walk to busses."
Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG
"Exceptional stay, took us by surprise. Very unique experience in Dublin"
Maldron Hotel Croke Park
"Great location next to Croke Park. Staff were so friendly and the food at the restaurant was excellent. Can’t wait to come back!"
Kennedy's Pub Drumcondra
"Warm welcome from friendly staff. Every member of staff we encountered was helpful and friendly. The accommodation is easy to find and the bus stop from the city centre is just outside the door. We slept well in a comfortable bed in a room at the front of the building, and despite the busy thoroughfare just below we didn't need to use the ear plugs provided. All in all, reasonably priced stay in a welcoming environment."
The Croke Park Hotel
"Lovely stay. Room was clean and bathroom and toilet were clean and ready."
Avoca House
"Avoca house is beautifully decorated and in a lovely part of Dublin. Jack went out of the way to make sure we had what we needed and we had a great stay!"
FlyOver Bed and Breakfast
"Had a wonderful stay during my 5 days in Dublin. Property was clean, quiet, and right next to the bus stop for getting into the city centre or to the airport. Bus ride into downtown and back is a quick 20-25 minute ride. No need for expensive taxis or ride shares. There’s also a pub and convenience store right next door to the B&B. The staff/owners were super friendly, welcoming, and helpful with directions, etc… Breakfast was also delicious. I’ll be staying here again the next time I come back to Dublin."
