I stayed here while I was working in the area. It offers what you expect from a B&B and more. The landlady and landlord are extremely nice. They couldn't do enough for me from giving me directions to pointing out the local hot spots. It is located in a quiet, residential area with great transport links. There is a bus... More

The owner let us borrow umbrellas and arranged a taxi for us. Tasteful decorations. Contra: We've waited for 20 minutes in the rain before the owner came at check-in. Faint smell of moisture... More

This bed and breakfast is pretty decent considering it's in Dublin. The price is fair enough as well because it is similar to many other bed and breakfasts in the rest of the country. The breakfast was adequate and the lady who runs the place is nice and informative. More

As we entered the house Mairead, the owner, welcomed us with a smile, gave a few tips about the city and showed us the room. she told us... More

My 25 year old daughter and I traveled to Dublin and due to the big football match had trouble finding a place to stay. Everything was full. Portland House is out by the Kilmainham Jail so not too close to the city. Our room was an adequate size, but we were never offered tea, use of a sitting room, Wi... More

Portland House is great. John & Mairead are the best hosts you can ever find and the house is lovely, cosy and very clean. Nice and quiet location close to the city centre. Great to have the LUAS on the doorstep. Whoever makes a bad comment about this house has never been there. Loved it! More
