Wife and I absolutely loved our time here First rate staff, authentic vibe, cozy and private. Walking distance to much of what you want to see while in Dublin. Then there is the breakfast, words won't do it justice but believe me when I tell you that it may just ruin you. Finding out that your new favorite breakfast spot is 3500 miles from home is heartbreaking! Thank you Delia! read more

Great hotel in a nice part of Dublin. A short walk to St . Stephen's Green and restaurants and shopping. The staff at Number 31 were incredibly friendly and our room was very comfortable. Breakfast is a must while staying here. I can see where parking could be tight (like any other major city) but we didn't have a car and relied on walking and public transportation so it wasn't an issue for us. I'd gladly stay here again. read more

Goodness!!! Number 31 has by far, the NICEST and WARMEST staff I have ever encountered in any hotel/B&B! Having traveled on the red eye to Ireland, we arrived delirious and sleep deprived to our accommodation in Dublin. Like any weary traveler, the first thing you want to do after a long, grueling flight is take a shower and nap. We rang the doorbell of the gate at 31 Leeson, focused on doing just that after check in. However, we were greeted by the sweetest man, who introduced himself and shook our hands (unfortunately, I cannot recall his name now!) He helped us with our luggage and ushered us upstairs from the lobby to a sunny dining room with a table set for us. He brought us fresh squeezed orange juice and inquired if we wanted tea or coffee... ...Now, in my foggy head, I was disoriented by so much kindness. I honestly felt like I was at a family member's house. You know, like going to your favorite aunt's house, who is always making your favorite meals just because she loves you so much? That is the same energy at Number 31. They aim to please! Okay, so as if being greeted so warmly wasn't enough, our socks were knocked off by the breakfast. My husband had eggs Benedict and I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Holy moly! What delicious food! My husband had happy tears with his meal. Not to mention, they had a side board of fresh berries, that were perfectly ripe. I mean, you can't get this kind of breakfast in many restaurants, and here we are having it right where we are staying! Simply wonderful! What's more is there is a picturesque garden between the carriage house (the carriage house is where the common room and dining room are) and the main house where most of the guest rooms are. (There are also a few rooms in the carriage house as well.) The main house is a Georgian style house on the fashionable street of Fitzwilliam. It is only a short 5 minute walk away from St. Stephen's Green, which is really central to all the touristy things to see and do in Dublin. It's about a 10 min walk to Grafton Street, 15 minute walk to Trinity College, and 20 minutes to Dublin Castle! Ideal location! I highly, highly recommend! We slept and ate so well during our stay here! read more

Traveling solo has its perks. Like really amazing single hotel rooms for not such astronomic prices. And having the duvet to yourself and getting to watch whatever you want on telly. Traveling solo also has its drawbacks. Especially if one is afraid of the dark. That said, Number 31 is undoubtedly nice for a romantic catchup (though I have not personally experience such a getaway here.) But it's less good for a need-to-be-connected mobile citizen in Dublin for work purposes. Internet access is annoying (you have to call down, get a code), not free and hard to secure. If you're not traveling light, be forewarned: there are lots of stairs to negotiate. I've read countless items of praise regarding the breakfast but I left too early in the morning to experience it. read more

This a phenomenal place with expensive night rates BUT it is one of a kind in the city. The architecture is astounding, the interiors can rival any boutique hotel in the world. It's where modern design meets Georgian design and they both get on fantastically! But above all that, it has been voted home of the best breakfast in the whole of Ireland. Now that is something that cannot be overlooked and something that you should try to sample in your lifetime, because it's damn good! Enough said! read more

Number 31 - Guest Houses Near Me - Dublin, D

Staying at Number 31 was one of the best parts of our trip to Dublin! My adult daughter and I stayed 2 nights, and then returned again for one night before an early flight home. Overall, we had such a great experience! The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed the cozy furnishings and unique rooms. One room (11) was a bit smaller, but had a small sitting area and private garden, while the other (14) was larger with a nice skylight. One of the things that made our stay special was the amazing staff, each of whom went out of their way to make us feel welcome and showed dedication in making sure every need was met. We felt well-taken care of, and they even made us coffee and a snack to go on our way to the airport. The "honor bar" was also a nice touch and I was able to drink a glass of wine, mark it for my room and leave it in the fridge for the next night. The location was also good, an easy enough of a walk to St. Stephens green or lower and upper Baggot, with restaurants within reach with a 3 block walk or a quick taxi ride if our feet were tired. The staff made some good recommendations (Angelinas). I thought pricing was very reasonable, with St. Patrick's Day weekend a bit more (300 euros) and the middle of the week much less (150 euros). We didn't pay any extra for WIFI or parking, and breakfast was of course included. If ever I get the chance to return to Dublin, Number 31 is definitely where I will stay! read more

I can not say enough good and wonderful things about this place. We arrived at 8am from a long flight from Newark. Our bags were taken away and we were escorted to the dinning room for a fantastic breakfast! Noel and his staff could not have been any kinder or hospitable. Every morning Noel greeted you with a happy face and positive attitude on the upcoming day. All the breakfast selection were just outstanding. Hey I even started eating the black pudding!!! We stayed in 5 places on our whirl wind tour of Ireland and Number 31 was, by far, the best. read more

Number 31 is located within a converted guesthouse. The interiors have been converted to nice modern standards with decent detailing for the most part. Nice furniture (Vitra) in the public areas. The included breakfast is quite good, but honestly isn't the best in Ireland. It's maybe the second best I had during my Ireland trip. The staff are all very helpful and super friendly. Costs are very reasonable for Ireland. There is free parking as well. The only complaint I have is a few low ceilings and doorways where I need to stoop and poor soundproofing in the rooms. Pros: -Good room with nice modern styling. Although my power converter didn't fit the plugs. -Very nice bathroom which actually had hot water. -Excellent breakfast. -Great staff. -Free parking. -Good location, though I had trouble finding it. Cons: -Paid wi-fi. -Poor soundproofing in the rooms. -Watch your head if you're about 6' - 1" or maybe 185 cm, there are some low clearances. read more

Wonderful boutique hotel just blocks south of St Stephen's Green. The grounds consist of two buildings (most rooms are in a Georgian townhouse while the lobby/dining area/lounge are in a modernist mews) connected by a charming garden. Great location: relatively quiet neighborhood yet within easy walking distance of the beautiful Green and city-center attractions. Fabulous made-to-order breakfasts (favorite: smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with homemade breads). But what sets Number 31 apart is host Noel and his staff. We arrived well before check-in time, but were treated like family. Bags whisked away, and immediately invited to breakfast. Need a dinner recommendation? Valet parking if their lot is full? Arrange for a taxi? Want a walking map to anywhere in town? Staff couldn't have been more helpful, eager, and friendly to assist! read more

We'd reserved the family room at Number 31 for the steep price of 400 Euro per night. We were optimistic that it would be a cool and charming place to stay in the heart of Georgian Dublin. We're no strangers to Dublin, nor are we strangers to varying levels of luxury, from the lowest budget hotels to the height of decadence. This price wasn't the highest we ever paid, but for that amount of expense, we had certain expectations. From the start, we saw the signs that this wasn't what we signed up for. The parking lot is tight (and not free either, despite what is advertised on TripAdvisor), and requires the blocking in of other guest's cars, as well as the handing over of your keys so they can move your car if someone needs to get out. I decided not to fret about the potential liability issues with such an arrangement should they damage my rental car. Nor did I stress out that the lighting on our way down the steps to our room was so dim, the carpet so dark, and the last half-step so treacherous, that it would be easy to fall or twist an ankle. We were on vacation and I wasn't going to let trivial things like potential thousands of dollars of liability or serious injury ruin it. Then we were shown our room. We really tried to find the charm in the serious water damage (and very likely mold) in no less than 3 different parts of the ceiling. We tried to enjoy the quaint urban view of a concrete alcove housing a metal mouse trap. We tried to laugh off the fact that the solitary garbage can in the room was a tiny bin in the bathroom. We even tried to laugh about how worn the furniture appeared, from the warped metal lightshade to the dilapidated chairs dotting the room. The lighting was so poor we joked about us being vampires, and the lighting in the bathroom reminded us of the spotlights in a bad jazz lounge. But at the end of the day we're adults and we're past the age of make believe... The "luxurious" beds they highlight on their web site were a step up from a jail-bed, topped with a strange assembly of sheets somehow involving a cotton towel (the hotel isn't wrong when they refer to the "stunning" bedding - but I suspect they meant something different). One of the "mattresses" was punctured and looked to have endured a nasty encounter with moisture of some kind. Back to the bathroom, the plumbing seems especially sound, as multiple events caused water to drip from the rain shower head, such as flushing the toilet or bumping the sink, which was not solidly anchored to the wall. Even with all the lights on, my shower brought to mind what it must be like to shower in prison, minus the fear of being shanked. In the end, we couldn't do it. We complained and got the absent "manager" to agree to refund our second night so we could stay elsewhere. We ended up at a fine hotel, at a savings of over 250 Euro. And now we can tell stories of our interesting night spent in Kilmainham Gaol... I mean Number 31 Dublin. read more

very nicely-appointed guesthouse in a converted georgian mansion. price is at the lower end of the higher end of dublin hotels, but it's worth the upgrade from some crap airport hotel for the highly attentive service and the amazing breakfast. the proprietor is quite a character, and by the end of our stay we had memorized his daily run-down of the entrees. best of all, it's only a couple of blocks from the southeast corner of st. stephen's green, centrally located without being in the drunken mess that is temple bar. read more

Beautiful place to explore Dublin!!! With such a wonderful breakfast, the day started off so well!! The location made us so central for exploring Dublin!!

Outstanding, benchmark or just awesome!! read more
