Pensions in Dublin

"Overall, it was great, much cleaner than expected, and we couldn't hear any noise from the bars at night. Excellent value for money. The only thing to note is that the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so carrying large suitcases up and down stairs was quite tiring. Our family room faced the street, and with the windows open, you could clearly hear people talking as they passed by, but it was much better with the windows closed. Also, some rooms might have a slight renovation smell, but this seems to be random – of the two standard rooms I saw, one did and one didn't. If it bothers you, you could probably ask the hotel if they can switch your room. There was a minor hiccup: we booked a family room, but were initially assigned two standard rooms. After speaking with the hotel, they switched us back to a family room. The standard rooms were on the third floor and the family room was on the first, so the three of us were exhausted from moving our luggage up and down. P.S. The photos and videos seem to have been taken with a 0.5x wide-angle lens. The video shows a standard room; the family room is much more spacious and doesn't feel as cramped. The bathroom in the pictures belongs to another standard room, but they're all pretty similar and quite clean."

"I so much loved the lodge, it was so very clean, the location was so easy as it is just few minutes walk from the Dublin city center, the most amazing part is that the airport bus 41 stops right in front ot the Abbott Lodge so using google map is also very easy. The service is top notch and the reception is 247. Room so clean and the bed is big even with extra bed for kids."

"Very good, clean and friendly."

"A beautiful Dublin townhouse in leafy Ballsbridge. Only a 2 minute walk to Landsdowne road to the Aviva Stadium and the Dart rail service. A 5 minute walk both ways to some lovely restaurants, cafes and bars so an ideal location. I stayed here because I had a Visa appointment at the US embassy which is also only a 5 minute stroll from the hotel door. The room was clean and very spacious, high ceilings and large windows. Microwave and fridge in the lounge which came in very handy as we had brought our own breakfast. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Only negative was one of the curtains in the bedroom seemed to have come off its rail and was half hanging down and could not be fixed because the window was too high!! However it just about covered the window to block the street lights so no big deal. Just to note, check out is 10am which is earlier than other hotels and the cleaners were knocking on the door at 9.55 so it's pretty much on the dot!!"

"In order to facilitate self-service check-in, there was no staff at the hotel. There was only the self-service check-in process, email and phone. However, I had never received an access code before. No one answered the phone and emailed. Finally, other guests came back and let me in. I kept calling and waiting. Finally, one of the three calls was answered, but I didn't know the reservation information, so I kept waiting. Finally, half an hour later, I received a reply email. I waited for an hour just to get in. If you don't have this service capability, don't do self-service check-in."

"This really is an absolute gem of a hotel. We were given such a warm and friendly welcome. The hotel is spotless and beautifully decorated. Our room was a standard room but the furnishings and complementary goods gave it a luxury feel. The bed was super comfortable with soft linens and huge fluffy pillows. The hotel had thought of everything including umbrellas to borrow for the typical Irish weather. We were able to easily walk into the heart of Temple Bar. The breakfast served was unbelievably delicious and lots of it! All freshly cooked from a vast menu. This is a family run hotel and the personal flare really shows. Can’t wait to return!"
