We were a little concerned when we arrived, rang the dorbell and no one seemed there. The lights were on but it took two rings and a long wait before the host unlocked the door. Then she seemed a bit confused about who we were, when we had made our reservation and actually thought we had checked in already earlier that day. The room was nice, had everything we needed. It was on the third floor of a very tight staircase so caryying luggage up and down was not easy. Location was convenient for groceries. Parking was on the street, but we were given a permit to put in the window. Breakfast items in the group kitchen were nice to have - things like cereal, toast, jelly, etc.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at St. Aiden’s Guest House in Dublin, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality from Anna, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The room was immaculate and cozy, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. I truly appreciated the attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness and comfort. Located in the charming Rathgar neighborhood, the guest house is just a convenient 20-minute bus ride from downtown Dublin, making it easy to explore all the city has to offer. The residential area is beautiful and quiet, offering a peaceful atmosphere, yet there are plenty of great shops nearby to enjoy. Overall, my experience at St. Aiden’s was delightful, and I look forward to returning on my next visit to Dublin!

The guesthouse was clean and we liked the small kitchen that had things like toast, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs to quickly grab before heading out in the morning. Some things could use repair, like shower leaking outside of door, and common areas could use some updating (I.e. decor, torn sofas). The area was quiet, convenient to walkable nearby restaurants (try Lark in Terenure!), and easy to get to downtown Dublin by bus which is used by families and commuters too.

Overall an enjoyable experience. Quaint guesthouse. Self-service breakfast on hand in a small kitchenette. Choice of cereals, bread, jams, cheeses, eggs, bacon and yogurt. Lots of pots, pans, crockey and cutlery were provided. Microwave and oven available for preparing small snacks. Room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

Beautiful, cozy old Georgian property just outside Dublin central. Advertised breakfast was continental self-serve only in a small cubby down the hall, had not served full since covid. Advert needs changing. Not fancy, not modern but homey, warm and welcoming. Our room was small and crowded with the bed for 2 and the single for our third person. Beds were comfortable and shower good. Not good for anyone not able to climb stairs or using a wheelchair. Loved the lounge and all the books available. Emmet was a fine host.

Subpar Stay: A Regrettable Visit
After finishing cooking seafood the previous night, the next morning while in my room, I overheard the female staff member, possibly the owner, yelling at the cleaning lady about the fish smell. She said, "The fish smelled terrible. I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s everywhere. She only stayed for one night." The cleaning lady assured her she was already dealing with it. Upon arrival the day before, I was shown around, and the guy mentioned I could use the kitchen for dinner. He also said if I needed anything, I could knock on the staff room door. Throughout my stay, I had to knock on the door for assistance with TV and stove issues, feeling guilty about bothering the owner repeatedly. With no reception desk, the only option was to knock for assistance. I discovered the kitchen was lacking utensils after I bought the seafood. Despite making cooking difficult, I had to cook the seafood I bought. I turned on the range hood, but it didn’t work well. Smoke filled the kitchen, with another guest pan-frying beef. The owner came in with a candle while we were in the kitchen, commenting on the fish smell. As I left my room in the morning, I wondered if I should apologize for the fish smell, but all I could smell was pan-fried beef. The owner's comments made me feel particularly uncomfortable, as if I wasn't welcome and had done something wrong. Overall, this was the worst stay experience I've had while traveling in Ireland.

This is a large B&B in a leafy street in a good suburb of Dublin, close to bus transport to city centre and other city attractions. No restaurant on site but kitchen available to residents and many eateries within 10 minutes walking distance. Good value for money.
