My partner and I stayed here for six nights. We had just spent a week in Killarney at an amazing bed 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! read more

See all

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

Absolutely wonderful. Friendly and helpful staff, great location, comfy beds, updated rooms with nice features (automized skylights that open and close, step in modern showers w/great water pressure, to name a few). Many other thoughtful touches to make one's stay comfortable. Cozy sitting room w/fireplace off dining room on first floor. Breakfast: the best we've ever had when traveling, delicious with a variety of choices, and good coffee. Highly recommend staying here. Hope to be back one day. read more

We stayed 2 nights. The staff were all excellent. Ever smiling and so courteous and helpful. After reading reviews, I had requested a room in the lowest possible floor, so we wouldn't have to navigate stairs. We reached at midnight, completely exhausted. They had allotted us a first floor room and the guy on duty, sweetly carried our suitcases to the room for us. The staff at breakfast too were excellent and breakfast was filling and yummy. Good hot water. Space for everything. Comfortable sleep. Free WiFi. Quiet location but walking (10-25 mins) distance to so many highlights. read more

WOW The customer service here was 100% ON POINT!!!!! The concierge was absolutely AMAZING here!!!! He parked our car, put our luggage upstairs (we were on the top floor) AND he woke us up at 4am the day we had to leave! Oh and did I mention you get FREE breakfast with your stay?!! Yes, thats right - free and its AMAZING!!!! The house is very lit at night and nicely decorated exterior. The rooms are all upstairs and some are shared bath rooms - our room was on the very top floor which was a bit of a trek after a day of drinking but it was worth it. The shower had the best water pressure!!!! The bed was extremly comfortable, pillows were perfect, TV and Wifi both perfect and no noise from outside could be heard. It was also the perfect room temp in our room so we didnt have to adjust any heat or anything! The house is located about a block from St Stephens Green and was the perfect place to stay in Dublin as we didnt want to worry about driving or taking public transport. I had an amazing stay here and I am still impressed by the concierge....he IS so great! I highly recommend staying here on your next venture to Dublin - I met locals who were staying here too so I know it's a pretty legit place to stay and we truly enjoyed it so I know you will too. Thank you Kilronan House and dont ever let that Brazilian concierge guy leave - he is THE BEST!!! ;) read more

This was a great hotel. From the beginning they showed us the map of Dublin and circled popular places and answered any questions we had. Our room was very comfortable, had a great night sleep. In the morning we had a great cup of coffee and was able to find out how to get where we wanted with more helpful tips. Recommend 10/10. read more

This is hands down the best B&B I've ever stayed at while travelling europe - simply because of the customer service. We had tickets to a show and our cab was stuck in traffic, so the manager drove us there in his own private car since he was going in the same direction anyways! Perfect breakfast choices, good location and free Irish coffee - just the cherry on top! read more

Kilronan House - Cozy lounge! - Guest Houses Near Me - Dublin, D

It's about the People I have no doubt this building was nothing short of amazing in its heyday. There are signs of elegance throughout, and its location makes it a great base from which to explore much of the city. Sadly, those days have long since passed, and Kilronan House is but a shadow of its formerly glorious self. The floor boards creak, there are loose tiles in the bathroom, the water pressure in the shower is less than ideal, and other little things show a building that is in need of many repairs. Ideally, the whole place should undergo a major renovation to get it all right again. Now, before you decide not to stay here, you should know a few things: 1) The location is convenient. We were able to walk to The Liffey without any trouble whatsoever; 2) The dining room is gorgeous, and the breakfasts are so much more than your ordinary free-hotel-breakfast-afterthought-to-get-you-to-stay-there arrangement. To be perfectly honest, the breakfast here is better than those costing up to 20 Euros in restaurants; 3) The staff. I cannot say enough complimentary things about them, especially Vio. They clearly understand what top notch service is, and they do everything in their power to make sure their guests enjoy the time spent with them. Because of the service, we would not consider staying anywhere else if we ever return to Dublin. To summarize: - The building gets three stars, but there is potential here for at least four stars.; - The breakfasts get five stars, because they are so much better than any free breakfasts available elsewhere; and - The staff gets a billion stars, because they deserve it! :-) read more

Excellent value, location, staff, breakfast. Room temperature warm and cozy. Bedding clean. Breakfast is excellent and served from a menu to your table. Wonderful bed and breakfast in heart of Dublin. Glad we listened to Eyewitness Dublin guidebooks and trip advisors high rating. I would love to visit on my next trip. read more

Spent 1 night here. The location is perfect- right near St Stephen's Green and within walking distance to all top attractions while being located on a beautiful tree-lined Georgian street. Our double room en-suite was spacious and as clean as it could be. Unfortunately, I have horrible allergies and the carpets made for one rough-nights sleep(itchy eyes, watery nose and coughing all night). They also provide parking, which is wonderful considering we had a rental car. Breakfast was delicious and substantial for a day of sight-seeing. All-in-all, the location is wonderful, room spacious, breakfast great but I wouldn't recommend staying here if you have dust allergies. read more

Romi the manager was extremely helpful. Everything was clean, quiet. Price was very reasonable, great location. All the people who worked at Kilronan were kind. I'd highly recommend this guest house. read more

Stayed here for two nights and we loved every minutes of it. We arrived exhausted after a red eye flight but almost as soon as we walked through the door they were checking us in and bringing us coffee and tea. The concierge sat down with us and a map, highlighting all of the go-to spots. Every recommendation was spot on. The room was clean, the breakfast was amazing. The location was rear because it's close enough to walk or take public transit anywhere by far enough outside the hustle and noise. St. Stephens Green was a great place to walk in the morning. My only regret is that we didn't get more time here. read more

Absolutely nice spot, I loved their cook to order breakfast, there are good choice, but they do not sell breakfast separate just with the room. Lovely staff and free car parking - like a rewarding! read more

I felt so at home in this nice B&B. Every evening when I arrived back at the Kilronan I was offered a cup of tea/coffee and a friendly chat. There is a welcoming sitting room where one can visit with others who happen to be there, or just relax. My room was nice, the bathroom modern. Breakfast was very good, served by attentive waiters. It is only a short walk to the park and most museums, churches, and theaters in Dublin read more
