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!

Shelton Lodge is a B&B in a very peacful and quiet Dublin estate. The house is just a couple of…read moreminutes away from a bus stop, 40mins away from Dublin City Centre. The breakfast served is of top Irish quality and the dining room, where you can enjoy it gives you a home feel. The landlords are very polite, helpful and sympathetic. They can provide you any direction you need and can give you a piece of advice you need in a city you are not familiar with. The stay at the B&B was a fantastic home experience you can rarely find anywhere else, the hours spent with the landlords Phillip and Eleanor chating about anything and everything make me recommend the place to everyone and makes me sure I will come back there again. If you want a home experience during a holiday in a B&B that's the place to relax and spend a great time in Eire.
