This is a hostel-priced frill-less hotel. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the house itself and the neighbourhood are both beautiful. Sharing bathroom was no problem. A bit cold during the night though. The location is a bit of problem because if you don't drive, you HAVE to take a bus to go into town, and although Dublin's public transport is... More

This is a cheap accommodation located in Rathgar, run by honest, easy-going guys. Rathgar is a nice, tranquil and safe area in the South of Dublin, around 4 kmtrs from the city centre.

I want to thank the staff of that hostel because compared to the other hostels, they where kind and available for each question at any time.

We opted for an en-suite room for our stay and we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was comfortable, warm and clean. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and free WiFi. We were very pleased for the low price we paid to stay. Would stay here again.

Very friendly staff, clean rooms and overall everything you could hope for such a low wage. Good breakfast, welcoming family atmosphere, nice for meeting other people, good bus connection to city, 5 min to bus.

I't was cheap but nothing else.Room was smely.Linen look like someone sleep night before.Meybe diiferent rooms there nicer but this where we sleep was horible.Breakfast poor.Bath in the bathroom on the floor was dirty.

We stayed in the Marylin Mansio for 6 nights in two different rooms (one with bathroom and the other one with shared bathroom) in August. The house is very nice, not far from the city centre (several buses available). Very cheap, clean, and really friendly. We do recommend this place! Isabelle and Keri

Sorry for the long post in advance! :) I saw this guest house didn't get too much reviews on TripAdvisor so I decided to take some time to describe my full experience during my stay in Marilyn Mansion. I hope you will find my review useful! We were looking for private but cheap place to stay in Dublin. Hostels were... More
