Comments: While we were only there one night the general feeling was a little uncomfortable - absolutely tiny shared toilet (converted broom closet), bathroom miles away, broken shower door etc. Not a great example of a b&b, ok but wouldn\'t bother again.

Comments: The bed was terrible to sleep in! We had a double bed that was so soft in the middle and hard on the edge that is was impossible to sleep comfortably in.

Comments: A very central place which was a short bus ride from the city centre. Bernadette, the owner, was extremely friendly and she greeted me very nicely when I arrived at the accommodation. I would strongly recommend this accommodation and I hope to visit again in the very near future.

Comments: It is a b&b so do not expect to meet fellow travellers. but for a change from dorms this is perfect. the hostess is wonderful with full cooked breakfast. location is a 10 minute (if that) bus ride into central dublin. i was upgraded from a single room to 4bed room. Great!

Comments: We have enjoyed our stay in this B&B, the owner was lovely, location was very good for us. 10 minutes by bus to city center. Room was spacious, breakfast very good and very good strong coffee :). Also good news for girls, you dont have to bring any cosmetics with you - bathroom got it all, even the foot scrub, shower gel, cleansing milk - perfect for me. Nice accomodation for good price and good location.

Comments: Brilliant location for Town Centre. Out of the city so its quiet, but on a major bus link, so the centre is litterally 5 mins journey away. Bus stop only a minute walk from B&B and i never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a bus. Room was spacious and warm with a comfy bed - just what you need after a day trecking about. Huge breakfast to keep you going all day. Friendly efficient staff :) would stay here again. Becki

Comments: This was the perfect place to stay while in Dublin. There are 2 bus stops with in 5 min. walking or less. There are a couple of pubs and a great place to eat (Porterhouse North) all with in a 10 min walk. You have a pharmacy and a "Spar" store all right there. Bus is only 10 min from city center. The lady of the house is Wonderful. Very nice and helpful about what to do, where to go and what to see. Told me tips that most places would not. I will stay again, next time I am in Dublin!!!!

Comments: I did get the cheapest room so I guess I got what I paid for. Toilet literally in the room. Not the cleanest room I\'ve been in but I was only going to sleep there. The staff was friendly but nothing extra. Breakfast was average. But only a couple of hundred meters to the Botanic Garden, that is great. I strolled around there for 5 hours. And a couple of hundred meters in the other direction there was Porterhouse Pub North. Great food and Beer. So I\'d probably stay in this area of Dublin again.

Comments: The location is not bad, it is very handy by bus, and opposite the B&B you can enjoy a pint in the Botanic House pub. The only problem we found was that the TV is just in the top of the bed, soo we couldn“t watch it very well.
