I would return here in a heartbeat! The service was excellent, and the hotel itself was great.
My roommate and I arrived straight from the airport at 10 or 11 in the morning. I had e-mailed ahead of time to see if there was a baggage storage area and a place where we might take a shower before heading out; I was assured that there was. When we got there, they changed the room that they had originally booked us in to a triple that was clean just so we could unpack and get ready for the day - even though we were there hours before check- in and had only booked a double!! The extra space was incredibly useful over the next couple days.
Getting there was a bit of a struggle; their bus directions got us to the correct cross street, but we had to ask several locals in order to find the street the B&B was actually on. The breakfast was normal fare: toast, hardboiled eggs, bacon, sausage, black and white something that neither of us managed to dare the other to eat, several types of juice, coffee, tea, etc.
We weren't leaving until late our final day there, so they held our bags in a locked room and then allowed us to wash up in their "ladies" room which had two shower stalls; we were even allowed to use their guest computer, even though we had already checked out - and while we were guests, there was only one time when we had to wait to use the computer. It was a nice service to have a completely available computer with all the normal applications
This is long, I know, but the best part of the whole stay were the various front- desk attendants. We were given ideas for places to eat, they always greeted us when we came by and were quite willing to just chat for a minute or two ... and they gave us extremely explicit bus directions. If you've never been to Dublin, you won't understand how incredibly helpful this is; their bus system is complex - and they have no overall map or schedule, so the only way to figure out how to get somewhere is to ask random people if they know where a certain line is going. When we were staying here, we always knew that we could ask and get accurate directions.
It's a bit from City Center, yeah, but the bus to City Center is a five minute walk and then the bus is only a couple minute ride. Well worth the reduction in cost!!
