Ariel House - Dublin , Ireland 

We had a very comfortable stay for 2 nights b&b at Ariel House. On arrival we were given a room up several flights of stairs and found it too far up to carry our luggage. We were immediately offered a large lower ground floor room which was very pleasantly decorated with antique furniture. The ensuite was excellent. Breakfast :- A large menu to choose from served in a bright interesting conservatory. Staff very pleasant and helpful. We found the hotel quiet and convenient for Dublin with hop on and hop off buses. The Dart railway was 5mins walk away and took us to the East Coast for evening meal. Excellent. V&K Jellicoe. England

My friend and I had 3 nights here as our last stop in Ireland and it was great! We had a good internet rate and it was more reasonable than anything we had found closer into Dublin and in a lovely quiet area. We had requested a room upstairs as we had read about the basement rooms being small. We were given a room on the back of Ariel House looking out to lots of cranes and building, so we asked if they happened to have any rooms at the front of the building. They did so they were happy to let us move rooms and it was great. ( I think you might hear train noise from the back rooms, but we didn't hear much noise at all.) Our room was really spacious and beds comfy. It was a lovely walk into the centre of Dublin and we loved all the Georgian buildings and the famous Dublin doors! The sitting room is big and lovely and breakfast was great in conservatory. Nice fresh scones and staff very helpful. We had hired a car for our ten day trip around Ireland but didn't need the car in Dublin, but my friend had thought for us to come and stay here the night before our car needed to be returned and then we could unload our luggage and not have to worry about lugging it to the hotel the next day. This worked out great as we went straight from the airport on the bus into O'Connell St. If you want to be close to Dublin but away from all the noise and crowds, this is a great choice.
