“The leafy, quiet Glasnevin setting offers a genuine Dublin experience, conveniently close to both the city center and the Botanic Gardens. It's a family-run Edwardian house with an authentically Irish feel, with a traditional bar serving local food, and while the rooms are simply decorated, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you are looking for a charming, smaller-scale base from which to explore Dublin, this could be a good fit, but be aware that the rooms can be compact and there are no elevators.”

The location was suitable, as I needed proximity to public transport.
The room was very disappointing. The bathroom sink leaked creating a puddle. I noticed a tile was missing from the bathroom wall (it really needed some attention).
