Breakfast service was great and there were shops around the corner but for so stripped down a room, it was very expensive and not a great value.

Ganske fint ophold
God service, venlige folk, fin morgenmad, 24-timers åben reception og rimelig rummeligt værelse - dog var værelset i nederste etage meget indelukket uden ventilation og kun meget begrænset adgang til frisk luft, hvilket trickede astma.

Staff were good and helped us with an early breakfast and taxi on the morning we had to leave. Room was nice and location was good for walking to downtown Dublin. Enjoyed the little roof garden area which is nice for a coffee.

A bargain lovely staff neighborhood questiionable
I was greeted by the lovely Sebastian who was very helpful
The neighborhood is a bit sketchy and I would not go out at night but the Lodge was fine and my room was small but comfortable .
Close to a lot of sites and you are able to get transportation to other parts of Dublin.

Lovely interior and old world charm. Very convenient to everything. Easy to find as it is close to the Spire so you always have a reference point.

Fantastic breakfast and staff!
I was happy with this choice! The breakfast was fantastic, like being at a restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive. The location is central. The room was small, but cozy.

It’s a small lodge close to shops and restaurants. Room is clean and spacious. It has an old-day feel. The only problem is the bathroom - there is no ventilation so it was moist and didn’t dry up at all. The staff was ok, I asked them to order a taxi, they never did.
