“Excellent stay in central location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here for two nights in May and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Very central location, about 5 minutes from O'Connell street and just across the road from Busaras. Rooms were lovely, very comfortable and clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Irish breakfast was a great start to the day! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

We had such a poor time in Madrid we departed early. We needed a hotel room and got lucky by walking into this hotel. Great staff. They cared about what we did so they could tell other guests entertainment reviews. The rooms are good. The food in the morning is good. When we go back to Dublin, we will go... More

“Convenient and Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2013

We spent three nights with the Anchor and found them to be very nice and helpful. The rooms were very adequate and the bathrooms large for European standards. The weekend rate seemed a bit high but the week night rate was spot on. The only negatives would be that the wi fi only works in the sitting room and even... More

My wife and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at Anchor House. On arrival we couldn't get our window to stay closed which didn't help with the loud street noise. When we returned that evening, the tiny TV in our room wasn't working, the solution of which was to move us rooms (even higher) we then found... More

“Clean and nice, good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

B&B is very clean and secure. The staff if very nice and helpful. Couple items that couple have been better: the bed and pillows were hard, water pressure in shower is non-existant and no temperature control in room, quite warm. Overall very nice stay. Breakfast is nice and multiple options available.

“Reasonable B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2013

I visited Anchor House with my mother during a trip to Dublin. It was fairly expensive for the service provided and the breakfast was small. It is conveniently located near the train and bus stations and O'Connell Street, however locals told us that it was in a rough area.The room itself was fairly spacious with a powerful shower.

Stayed here after a works night out. Room modern, tidy and perfectly clean, supplied with tea & coffee. Bed very comfortable with bedding that looked very new. Staff very friendly and helpful. You have to ring the doorbell to get in, but that's a security bonus as it stops any undesirables just wandering in. Great location for Dublin city centre.... More
