Pampig och trevlig hotel nära Dublin city
Mycket pampig och fint hotell med mycket god frukost. Dock kunde vi inte ta sista dagens frukost och fick ett torftig frukost med oss till flygplatsen som bestod av torrt bröd, smör, marmelad, vatten, liten muffin och en banan. Badrummet var slitet och behöver en reperation. Sköna sängar och högt i taket som kändes lyxigt.

Finding the property was very easy using sat nav. On arrival was very pleased until we entered the room we found someone else clothes in the room. My husband didnt get a wink of sleep due to the heating system being really loud every 20mins outside our window. Then breakfast we were told there was a waiting list and we didnt mind until we were forgotten about and i had to remind the young lady 25mins later. The breakfast was mediocre.

Great but a few hiccups
Ariel house is beautiful and the included breakfast is the best of the best. We had a few hiccups on our stay and the only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 5. The hotel called us as soon as our room was ready and stated they would waive the $30 esrly check in fee, mind you check in was at 3:00 and we were called at 2:00, so it was not too early. Then when we were gettin our key, the manager stated that the room we reserved had been given to someone else, and that we would receive a lesser updated room in place. I was not happy to hear this as this was the first day on our trip and a pretty big hiccup. We asked to receive the difference Iin value between the two rooms back and he informed us it would be only 20 euro. We chatted how I didn’t understand how they just gave away our room as I had specifically reserved that on many months ago. It was finally resolved that I would receive back the 20 euros difference for the room valve, 10 euro for each of the other two nights, a bottle of 5 euro wine, and he would move our room after the other occupants checked out. Then when we got to the new room, the hardware on the bathroom lock was not installed and when we went to turn on a broken lamp the electrical power went out for the whole room. That was resolved about an hour later and we were back in light. Overall the Ariel House is beautiful with very attentive customer service, yet it was a big mess up on their part for giving away our room that we reserved for our dates.

Wonderful place to stay for many or one night in Dublin. Walkable distance to everything you could want in Dublin downtown. Extremely conveniently located next to a train station, I can get you even deeper into the heart of Dublin just a wonderfully place location. Staff was wonderful and called me as soon as I entered my room to make sure my room was good. The breakfast was an incredible surprise, the room they host the breakfast is incredible. Loved my time and will be staying here again. Last but not least the showers were warm and had great flow! 10/10. Can’t wait to comeback and the see the finish refurbishments. And thank you Emerson & friend!

We didn't want to stay in "downtown" Dublin. Ariel House was a perfect choice for us. It's near a train station. So, getting to "downtown" Dublin was very easy. We didn't have to drive. Parking at Ariel House is tight, but we were glad they had parking available. There's a commercial area relatively close by (walkable) that had a variety of restaurants and pubs. Our room was very comfortable. A tad small for four adults, but adequate. The included breakfast was extremely tasty and satisfying. There were items, such as yogurt, juice, and cereal, on the buffet line. Then, either a full Irish breakfast or continental breakfast available to order. One could fill-up during breakfast, go on a full day's agenda, and not have to eat again until dinner. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Will definitely consider staying at Ariel House again in the future.

Not so romantic
Booked 3 rooms for 5 adults. After checking in when we went to look at our room, it was basically a broom closet with a TV and a bed. Nothing like the pictures !! We booked this room to have a romantic old time experience. This was not it. I could have picked the Hilton or Marriott for less. Complained to the front desk and was told. The pictures are “examples only”. And was directed to talk to the day manager. Next day the day manager gave us a better room with 2 queen beds and said the other couple in our room would be upgraded too. And they would even move their luggage. Left for the day and upon return, they didn't have a new room and attendant didn’t know where luggage was. Took almost an hour to get this sorted and this is 9pm after a long day of sightseeing. The explanation that we received the next day was that 4 of us were supposed to move to my 2 queen bedroom. This was ridiculous and the low point of our visit to Ireland. This was not at all what we spoke about with the manager

I'm struggling with the Excellent. The staff is among the most polite ever! They go above and beyond for you and is amazing how friendly and helpful they are. But, even though the rooms are good and they look clean, the carpets really need a change or a proper clean, also the walls are really thin and we saw a guy knocked in someone else door to shushed them off even though those people were only laughing (in my opinion they were normal). Besides that, the area is amazing, around the corner is the train station, and in the other corner is the bus from and to the airport. It was only those things, but even with the carpet, they were one of the best that I've stayed, for me it was the personnel that made a massive impact! and the main reason why they are excellent!
