Celtic Lodge Guesthouse - Restaurant & Bar

Small bed & bathroom

We arrived just after midnight (we gave notice of later arrival) only to find the car park they use closes at 11pm (were never advised of this and website makes no mention of it...) so we were directed to another that costs 24 Euro!, I asked for extra milk and was asked "how do you know you need it?" by reception chap. Eh, you ALWAYS need more milk, the little cartons take 2 per cup. He grudgingly have me more, 2 handsful, sarcastically - I'll take those, thank you... Room was grim, stain on sheet but wasn't going to interact with desk guy again after "milk gate." so husband was sent to that area. Interesting that some review stated that it's very clean, dont know when that statement was made of which room they stayed in, it wasn't ours that's for certain. Shower is full of mould, nothing that a bottle of bleach and some effort wouldn't sort out, so do that, please...photos attached. When in shower I checked top of shower head out of interest (watch too much Four in a bed...) it was filthy, so I cleaned it for them using a hand towel (again, see photos.) The shampoo supplied is TINY, think Liliputian. I have long hair and would need three of these to wash it, but you only get 2. Even the curtains have random, dodgy looking stains on them! TV is tiny, you practically need binoculars to see the screen, but don't bother as the TV doesn't work anyway! (Evidence again supplied...) It's 2024 people - get the place cleaned and a TV that works, it's not rocket science!!! I chose not to have breakfast here, if the room is so dirty and that's what guests see, I don't know what the kitchen is like, I can't check it so am not taking any chances.. Strange priorities - you have a safe in the room - very handy, thank you - yet cleaning is negligible - evidence in photos provided... Forshame!

BEWARE: STAFF STEAL PROPERTY When staying there in May, we found that items from our room went missing. It started pretty innocently with the hotel claiming the 'safe' wasn't working, and the door not closing all the way, but when these things were not fixed, we were alarmed. They claimed to not have other rooms available too.... Then, while packing on our last day, we noticed that souvenirs were opened, our bags riffled through, and chocolate was missing. The manager promised he would look into it and get back to us, but 3 months later, we heard NOTHING from him. I really tried to find a solution and be optimistic, giving him tons of time to resolve this. Unfortunately, police and lawyers are getting involved. Do not stay here, it is UNSAFE.

My self and my boyfriend stayed here. Sean the manager is an absolute 💯 gentleman. The staff are amazing. Esther who serves breakfast is a lady along with her colleague who's name I didn't manage to get. This is an ABSOLUTE 💯 STEAL for the price. Located in heart of Dublin is ideal. But you can't beat the service. And the celt is beside it. I'm Irish North Dublin and I stay here. Says it all really. Every Wednesday from now on. Thank you Sean and team. Best stay and breakfast Iver had ever and that's honest

Clean, Helpful and welcoming. We arrived in Dublin needing accommodation as our Airb&b was filthy and we walked away from it. We found this hotel and right from the moment we walked in we were happy with how we were welcomed. The rooms are basic but comfortable and have the usual necessities to refresh you. The main thing was they were clean. Our rooms were above the pub and although you could hear the music once the time came for that to stop it was quiet. This isn’t maybe what you would want but the rooms to the rear of the hotel would be quieter. The staff cleaned the rooms each day and even replaced sheets if required. The entrance is managed 24/7 which was god to know. The reception staff were so helpful giving good advice on places of interest. They can also provide you with discount codes for some of the bus tours going round the city. Although there is no parking attached to the property you can offload outside and there are two recommended car parks 5 minutes away. We took the car to one of these and left it for the duration of our stay. Upon leaving the reception will provide you with a ticket which discounts your parking. We mostly are out. The attached pub next door( which is owned by the same owners as the hotel) serves cracking food. We had breakfast the three mornings we were there and for 10 euros was very happy. You have the option of the usual cereal, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Would highly recommend the Irish cooked breakfast ( bacon, sausages, hash browns, white pudding, beans and toast). You can also try some Guinness bread which is made on site and is really good. For me I would not hesitate to come back here to make it a base for future visits to the city. You are fairly central and are only 5 mins away from the spire and about 10 mins from temple bar. Saying that you wouldn’t need to go there as there are some great pubs in the vicinity of the hotel and some lovely places to eat also. I can’t thank the staff enough for rescuing our stay in Dublin. I hope you enjoy your stay here if you come. Mark.

Stayed here with friends on a Sunday night. We went to bed quite late but it wasn't noisy at that time. Found the decor nice, found the hotel very close to Connolly station. The room was compact but clean. Hot shower and a bed. What more do you want? Added breakfast on for 10 euro. Was a lovely cooked breakfast in a nice dining room. I Wasn't keen on the coffee but there were cold juices on offer. I would definitely stay here again as a good base for Dublin visits

Stayed here recently with friends, there was 4 of us in a family room, place was lovely and clean, very small space only for high ceilings it would be very claustriphobic, a missing light bulb and curtains had 2 rings off and it left plenty light into the room while we were sleeping. Also the ensuite was awful small, only 4 hand towels left for us we had to ask for bath towels. The staff were really lovely. The area is a little rough too. Lovely cocktail bar and traditional Irish pub downstairs though. Overall we felt we paid way too much for the location and facilities.

This is anything but a lodge, whoever wrote the website description is a fiction writer and a very good one at that. The rooms are over a lounge that plays loud music and the property is in a very rough area of Dublin. There is no parking available and you can’t/ wouldn’t leave your car on the street. Reception doesn’t care. Would absolutely not advise anyone to book here. I would give it a zero if I could.
