"It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out
"The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below." Full review

"This small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas." Full review

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.

"Not so much grand as comfortable and quaint, with a matchless situation in the very heart of the city. The Aircoach stops across the road." Full review

Guests with mobility problems should ask for a room on a lower floor, as the old building (actually three townhouses merged together) has many staircases.

"Not only is this absolutely one of Dublin's best guesthouses, but it's a carefully guarded secret, known only to those who dare stay a short train ride from the city centre." Full review

"A properly lovely B&B, ticking all the B&B boxes you'd want: a friendly family feel, a tasty breakfast, and cosy rooms, all in a beautiful ivy-clad house in the lovely seaside area of Sandymount." Full review
Frommer's
"Inside, the decor is rather endearingly old-fashioned; neat-as-a-pin public spaces have heavy, antique-style furnishings and embroidered pillows scattered...guest rooms are comfortable and quiet" Full review
