    Cozy place in the centre but away from the crowd, very easy to get everywhere in the city from there.

    I would like bigger cups! Lol there were beautiful China cups, lots of great Barry's tea, coffees and water. Bikkies too. Sugars, sweeteners and milks.

    Its a beautiful place with old charm and so close to the city but also some very close excellent bars and restaurants

    The room was incredibly hot. This was in November as well, I couldn’t imagine staying in Summer. I wasn’t able to sleep much at all the first night due to the heat in the room. On the second night I had the fan blasting directly on me, and slept with only a sheet so finally got some sleep.

    Super easy to get to, and to find. Very central. Walkable to Temple Bar and other main sites. We were greeted by the loveliest men in the bar downstairs who checked us in and directed to our room. Appreciated the free drink in the bar as well. Cute decor.

    There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom which was ok however it would have been nice to have a mirror in the room area so I could dry my hair

    The staff was incredible! Check in was a breeze. The location was perfect within walking distance to everything touristy. Big shout out to Dave and all the lads in the pub! Made me feel so welcome and had lots of tips on where to go and how to get there.

    Amazing location, very friendly staff and clean. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Loved staying here, would recommend! Staff offered us a free welcome drink but we unfortunately didn’t take them up on it because we we arrived later than expected and had a restaurant booking. The pub downstairs was quite loud so I could see how that could be a problem for some people but me and my friend weren’t bothered by it at all.

    Honestly everything was 9/10, only reason for the mission point is the train outside is pretty loud and runs all night. But we got used to it! Just not something I was expecting.

    The Townhouse is beautiful and charming, and Paul and the other staff were all extremely friendly and helpful! Especially considerate with our arrival time (coming in from Canada, Paul opened the place early so we could leave our bags and get situated before official check-in time.)

    Wish they had a couple of hooks in the hallway to hang coats.

    Great location, quiet but near the central part. The gentleman that took care of us when we arrived was super friendly. I liked the old fashioned style of the guesthouse.

    It can be a little noisy with traffic, but can’t be helped - if you close the window and have the fan on then it is no bother at all.

    Great find! Location is perfect, within a short walk to Stoneybatter and the centre of Dublin. All the staff were welcoming, accommodating and helpful! The room was comfortable, and as described. Would definitely come back.
