Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."
Fodor's "Every city center needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill." Full review
Time Out "This comfortable, 187-year-old hotel is unique in that it's a prime piece of real estate (right off Dame Street near Temple Bar) that the designers haven't yet got their hands on." Full review

Lonely Planet Top Choice
"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
Fodor's "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
