    If you don’t like stairs this property has stairs.

    Having my own bathroom and being in a traditional red brick home. Being close to the bus into town. Loved having the botanic gardens a share walk away. Food Orion nearby. Bernie went out of her way to make my stay an excellent one.

    Everything was great! Bernie is a wonderful host

    It was very pretty and in a nice quiet suburb. I felt very welcome, the house is nicely appointed and cozy. I am very happy to have stayed there and definitely will stay again. The bedding and linens were very comfortable, very pretty and everything was very clean. I was only there for one night and Bernie was very helpful with arranging a taxi back to Dublin airport. The location is also very convenient by bus.

    The mattress was a bit on the bouncy side for my liking. I had to put the incense sticks out on the window sill as I found the smell very strong and it reminded me slightly of cigarette smoke. Once I’d put the increase outside, it wasn’t an issue anymore.

    Clean and quiet, nice location within an easy bus ride to the centre, friendly and helpful host. I’d definitely come back.

    Traditional Irish home with very comfortable beds, fabulous location surrounding by grocery stores, excellent pubs serving good food and the best Guinness! Access to City bus and Taxi. Bernie is a gracious host, extremely helpful, providing good tips and info on tours, restaurants and bus routes. I highly recommend staying at the Botanic B&B. Thank you Bernie!

    The only thing I did not like was there was no access to a toilet downstairs. But that was mainly because my friend could not do the stairs often.

    Loved the location, the breakfast room and the room was spacious and comfortable. Good shower to and comfortable bed.

    Bernie was an amazing host. She was very easy to contact, and was quick to respond. She took the time to take out a map and show us all of the best spots to hit around the area and in the city. Comfy room, exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again!

    We stayed in Dublin spontaneously for the Rugby match and found that B&B last minute. The location was very handy, a couple of minutes from Croke Park, but very quiet and really nice. The hosts very absolutely friendly and helpful. The room was small, but beautiful, absolutely comfortable and with a private bathroom. We would stay there anytime again!

    Breakfast could be serve a bit better. To put cereals directly from big plastic bag to my small plate was not very comfortable. Like I said location is not very in the center, so I used taxi.

    The hotel is located a bit far from center, but its around 30 min by foot. The host is very nice woman, she try to help and can provide hints depends what you wanna see in the City. The room was big and nice, bed was big and comfortable. The adapter for my phone was also provided, it is useful. Internet worked, continental breakfast was fine.

    Nothing, I can’t recommend this B&B highly enough.

    I booked this B&B at the last moment to add a few days in Dublin following a work trip to Limerick. I didn’t have any particular expectations but I was delighted with my stay. The hosts were very friendly and offered advice on things to see on arrival, something I hadn’t researched myself. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet - I slept better than I do at home. The location was perfect - close to Glasnevin Cemetery and the Botanic Gardens and it took me less than half an hour to walk into the city centre. For those not keen on the walk, there are excellent bus connections to Dublin Airport and the city centre, which are much cheaper than taxis or driving. One tip, buy a Leap card, which you can load with credit to use on public transport throughout Ireland - it’s much easier than having to have the right cash fare ready. I don’t usually eat breakfast but I did on this trip and it was excellent. I had the full Irish breakfast (similar to a full English) and it filled me up for the whole day. I spent my days exploring Dublin city centre and had my evening meal at a local pub. There are plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance and if you want a takeaway (again, many choices) you can, just eat it downstairs, not in your room. I have never written a review for somewhere I’ve stayed before but on this occasion I felt I had to because I was so pleased with my stay and thankful for an alternative to the overpriced hotels closer to the city centre. I got home last night and I’m already wishing I could go back! Lovely hosts, lovely room, delicious breakfast, great location - if you can get a booking at this Bed & Breakfast, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

    If you're a smoker, then it could be the right place to stay for you. The first thing that hit me was the smell of smoke when I first walked in. There was a wall socket coming away from the wall which I forgot to mention to owners.

    Bedroom clean bed comfy.
