We travelled to Dublin last month and the temperature was unseasonably cold. Our room at Griffith house was freezing! I slept with 5 blankets and woolen socks but was still cold. The radiators were turned off after midnight. Aside from the cold, I have no other complaints. The rooms were clean and comfortable. You can easily catch the bus to... More

The room was adequate although the 'ensuite' was obviously and afterthought and more like a broom cupboard - nowhere to hang towels or put a bar of soap even. Walls were paper-thin, so if you're a light sleeper I'd recommend ear plugs or sleeping pills! The owner was not exactly rude but definitely not up for a chat! It felt... More

Griffith house - we chose this because our travel agent personally stayed there and recommended it and it had good reviews online but we were sadly disappointed because there was no Irish welcome here.  The good was they let us drop our bags early.  He seemed rushed to get us out.  Said go down street two blocks for bus and...

Stayed at this B&B with my three teenage boys. It is conveniently situated beside the city centre, which the boys loved for the nightlife. The daughters of the propieter recommended various pubs and nightclubs for them, and were very helpful in general. Eugene was very welcoming, and gave us a wide choice for breakfast. The house was spotless, and the... More

There are a choice or restraints within 10 mins walk along the Tree lined Beautiful Griffith Ave. We went to guest house owners Local. The Goose Tavern. What a pub. No music, a mature clientele,...

We booked this B&B for a few reasons: Price was reasonable and only ten minutes to city center by taxi. The room had tea and coffee making facilities, flat screen tv and a very comfortable bed. A slight criticism is the room was alittle small and little natural light. The breakfast was good, we were asked if wanted extra toast,... More

Nice place outside the city. The owner was helpful but wasn't very friendly. On the other hand his daughter was a warm and welcoming and when she helped with breakfast we had a wonderful experience. The bed was lumpy apparently too much humpy and the shower was almost impossible to get in and out of. Overall it was a pleasant... More

Amazing B&B. Clean and tidy, friendly owners and great breakfast. Perfect location (Griffith Avenue is halfway between the airport and city centre, so convenient access to both). Highly recommended *****
