    One of the most enjoyable stays from any other B&B's I've been to…read more... The brothers (owners) are all very attentive and helpful. The place was spotless and we were lucky enough to have our own bathroom. Location was nice and not too far away from downtown and quiet enough to get a good night sleep. The beds!! Are very comfortable and we loved the complimentary breakfast in the morning. One of the saddest parts of the trip was needing to leave this B&B. Totally made this vacation worthwhile and enjoyable. We plan to return and stay here at our next visit to Ireland.

    This has far been the most memorable experience for my recent trip to Dublin Ireland…read more Nothing is better than a relaxing and comfortable place to go back to after a long excursion of adventure! 5 stars all the way!! Beautiful B&B owned by 3 brothers who bought and refurbished the place in memory of their late mother (Marie) hence the name, Marie's Bed & Breakfast! All three brothers are on the property and very attentive and helpful! Beautiful B&B with lovely rooms and bathroom!Also, the whole place is so clean!! We got the twin bed room with the garden view and private bathroom/shower. Very relaxing and friendly environment. Literally, can't think of anything that I would want or need. We mentioned that we were planning on taking a cab into central dublin downtown for tours and they coordinated and called a taxi/cab for us for every day!! The rooms and bathroom was cleaned every day when we left for our excursions. And it's always so nice and welcoming to be back after a long day. Clean shower, and comfortable beds are what makes it even more memorable to a great vacation. If you have questions they will answer it! Need a good game plan for a trip in town? Done! Or a side trip to a nice area where is not a tourist trap? Done! Definitely reccomend you stay here. No regrets! Highly highly recommend to family and friends!

    My wife and I stayed here on holiday from the United States. Sure, it is a little walk (maybe…read more10min) from the center of town. The bus stops outside the door, so if you don't mind a bus ride you should be fine. What makes this place great is the owners. It was sort of like staying with friends. The owner was always available with directions, recommendations. The owner also recommended the Hertz shop down the road (5 minute walk down circular) which was awesome way for us to leave and return to Dublin. When we returned "sure you can use my garage." Which was nice, the 16A bus might come to his doorstep, but it is a LONG bus ride (1hr30min) from the Airport. Breakfast was good. Our room had a bathroom (en suite as they say). Price was $40 Euro a person. The room was quiet, we were never disturbed! Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it. As rick steve's might say 1/2 the price for 2x the cultural immersion. Too bad I didn't know yelp was in Dublin before I went (I would of found restaurants!)

    My friends visited recently and wanted to book a B&B. I recommended this spot in the Portobello…read moreneighborhood. I also stopped by and was given a tour of all the rooms. It has been renovated / remodeled relatively recently. Although the front room could use a 'perk me up', the bedrooms were really nice! The rates are great and include a 'made to order' breakfast. My friends loved it and were grateful for the recommendation. The B&B is run by a husband and wife team. The husband is pretty talkative and volunteers recommendations freely. He immediately welcomed me into the space and offered a full tour. As for convenience, the bus stop is right outside the front door and is conveniently an hour or so from DUB airport. A walk to City Center is about 20 minutes and the canal is about five minutes. I recommend this spot for singles or couples. It's warm and welcoming and the rooms are really nice!

    "On Raglan Road on an Autumn day, I saw her first and knew that her dark her would weave a snare…read morethat I might one day rue." So wrote Patrick Kavanagh who lived first on Pembroke Street round the corner from 1946 to 1958 and then at 19 Raglan Road itself from 1958 to 1959, (which is now the Mexican Embassy). The poem, originally entitled "Dark-haired Miriam ran away", is really all about Hilda Moriarty, a 22year old medical student at University College Dublin. Paddy loved her, but Hilda who was 20 years younger, although flattered did not reciprocate his desire. Undaunted he had the idea of setting the lines to the traditional air "The Dawning of the Day" (Fáinne Geal an Lae). Later on Luke Kelly of The Dubliners was having a drink with him one day and asked if he could record it, and so was born one of the most famous Irish songs of recent times. It's become a bit of a standard, My favourite is Sinéad O'Connor's hauntingly beautiful version, and to have such a womans voice singing Paddy's heartfelt words gives it added poignancy. Paddy never had much money, despite literary success, seemingly being as unlucky with his finances as he was with his choice of females. His upstairs flat apparently had a mirror positioned in the window in such a way that it would alert Paddy when creditors or other undesirables came calling! Of course the days when well to do Ballsbridge played home to penniless writers living in upstairs bedsits have long since gone, but if you love the poem and song, and Patrick as much as I do, a visit here, particularly in the Autumn is magical. And as you cross the wide & relatively quiet, tree-lined avenue it is easy to imagine the "Quiet street where old ghosts meet", and and...sadly...a beautiful dark-haired Irish girl walking away "from me so hurriedly," even if reason must allow. I make the journey along Mount Street & then up Northumberland & Pembroke Roads to here every time I'm in Dublin not only because I'm as hopeless a romantic as Patrick, but also because his work for me represents the deeper creative & cultural Ireland, the magic, and the real enchanted way. "I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way, And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day."

    When I came back to Dublin from my travels through Europe I was effectively homeless. So I decided…read moreto stay in a B&B until I found some place to stay permanently. I found the Blackstone House online on Daft.ie. They offered exactly what I needed: A private room with a bathroom, always on broadband, a fridge and a water kettle for an affordable price (for a week or longer). Also it's located in Rathmines which is a good central area to live in. The owners Kate and William are nice people, very discrete and helpful. For instance I was offered a bigger room if I had to stay longer. I appreciate that. What I don't understand with many Irish B&Bs, especially in Dublin, is why their owners decide to neglect their property. Why no development and investment. Why is there no effort to maintain or even increase the value of their premises? My room - despite being ridiculously small - is extremely dark, old and patchy. I am looking at the backyard which is a disgrace. It's full of rubbish with old tins of paint and dirty cloths on the half built terrace. The whole house is dark with too few windows. It has potential though. It would need some reinvestment to make it a warm, bright and welcoming place. That said: All inside - despite being old and messy - is pretty clean. And I guess for me that's a priority. So I still recommend that B&B. Just take the lack of standard as the full touristic experience. You didn't want some faceless Hilton or InterContinental so you found the somewhat dark character of the Blackstone House.

    My partner and I stayed here for six nights. We had just spent a week in Killarney at an amazing…read morebed and breakfast and were hoping for another great experience here. We were blown away by how nice this place is! For reference, we stayed in a double room with en-suite. We arrived Wednesday afternoon after taking the train from Killarney to Dublin. We got a taxi to the bed and breakfast and walked in with four bags, two of which were massive. The manager got us checked in and offered a map, which we declined since we have everything planned out and we have maps saved on our phones. We were in room 18, nicknamed the Oscar Wilde room. It was on the third floor so we did have a bit of climbing to do (there is no lift in the building due to its age and how compact it is) but we didn't really mind it that much. If we had just come off a long overseas flight we might have been a bit more salty about it but we weren't so it's fine. When we walked in the room we were shocked by how nice it was. The wallpaper is gorgeous and the bathroom is stunning. The shower is incredibly nice and felt wonderful after a long day. The window we had opened up to other buildings so we didn't have a great view, but just being able to open the window for some fresh air was lovely. The bed is incredibly comfortable (and large!) and there is a bunch of storage along the wall so you can stow your luggage and jackets and shoes without any issue. We were here during a cold and rainy week so the room never got hot or stuffy. It was warm enough at night even after having the window open all day. The building has free WiFi, you just need to enter the password when you hit the login page. The password is taped to the back of the room door so it's easy to locate. The staff are all super friendly and help you out with whatever you need. It was pretty quiet at night even being in a louder part of Dublin, so the building has good insulation. We also hardly heard our neighbors thanks to the arrangement of the rooms - we only had one shared wall and it was bathroom to bathroom. The breakfast was great! I had the omelette and pancakes while we were here and they were both good. The banana with yogurt was also very tasty. The juice that they had was also good - I think it was a combination of orange and pineapple? Overall we really loved our stay here and we would definitely stay here again. It's close enough to walk to some attractions, and there is a hop-on hop-off stop that is close enough to walk to for others. There are groceries nearby and lots of food options to choose from. There are also laundry services nearby that you can either drop off your laundry at or have them pick up and deliver. That was crucial for us after arriving after already being on vacation for a week!

    Quiet neighborhood, close to Iveagh Gardens which are lovely. A bit of a walk to restaurants and…read morepubs (which is always surprising). Gracious service, comfy bed, and the breakfast is great -- I recommend the smoked salmon and eggs.
