Comments: The lights by the bed didn`t worked. They have cleaned the bathroom but didn`t make the bed. We found we pay too much for the accomodation

Comments: Very pleased with O'Donoghue's, though it is worth noting that we could hear the pub crowd quite clearly in our room - absolutely fine for us, but some people may find it distracting when trying to sleep. Very clean, safe and reasonably priced and in WONDERFUL location - would definitely recommend.

Comments: We, Clara Schiavoni and Prisca Carletti,have had a very good time at O'Donoghues Guesthouse in our beautiful room and in the night at the pub. It was very important for us the very good central location and kindness of owners. Irish people is wonderful and Ireland too, but I knew this and I'm fond of whole Ireland. My son is working in Dublino from 7th April 2008, so I'll come to this B&B again in future. Thank you and a very special hug from Italy Clara Schiavoni

Comments: Staff were friendly and helpful; very close to lots of things going on. Main complaints were on security; my room door caught on the carpet, so it didn't close fully without an extra push. The main door leading up to the rooms was left open at least once during my stay, and I wasn't asked for ID at all, including when I arrived for my room. But overall it was a nice place and I'd consider staying again.

Comments: i have stayed and will probably continue to stay in this place when i go to dublin purely becosue of it's location and convenience. however, depending on the room and the night, it can be very noisy, with noise from the pub, the street and adjacent rooms. i also think it is on the expensive side for what is bed only lodging

Comments: O'Donoghue's was ideal for me. My room was large and clean with a good bathroom. There is no breakfast served but that was not a problem as the area is well served with cafes and shops. The staff were friendly and Irish music in the bar downstairs at night was a treat. Dublin is an expensive city but O'Donoghue's is fairly prised for the area it is in.

Comments: Best possible way to spend a weekend away. And we norwegians love irish music and song, and you find it at its best at O'Donoghues Guesthouse. Our third time in Dublin, and we will surely be back.

Comments: The reception was so extremely unfriendly that we thought we had come to the wrong place. (The girl was OK, but not giving/offering enough information and such.) Far too much noice from the street for a place to (try...) sleep(ing) at. No breakfast served... Leaking bathroom floor... Maintenance of the room???

Comments: We had a great time at O'Donoghue's Guesthouse! Would go there again while being in Dublin. Rooms are comfortable and tidy. We've been there at the weekend so it's a little bit noisy. But you are right in the middle of the city!!

Comments: Very fun to be staying above a popular pub. No real concierge - we walked in in the middle of happy hour and had to find someone who knew where our room was. Nice room with TV and tea (a plus!) Very clean, great location, would recommend if you are an independent group of travelers and don't need a lot of hand holding.
