“Dirty old place, falling apart.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

We stayed here one night only (thank god!). First thing I must say is that this is NOT a B&B, it's a cheap motel. All the staff were nice, every single person working there was Polish which was fine for us but it might not be what you expect visiting Ireland. The place was basially falling apart. There was some... More

Hi Corina K Your assumption about all of our staff being Polish is inappropriate, as they are not; such a brush stroke comment is at best unacceptable. We are part of the European Union, we have no borders and we do not tolerate discrimination. All European workers are entitled to work where they want when they want and we do... More

“Budget B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2013

I stayed in the Avondale House for the Heineken Cup Final 2013, I knew it was a budget bed and breakfast and I knew the rates had went up to meet with the demand from 70,000 rugby fans, all I wanted was a city centre location close to Aviva Stadium, bed, shower and breakfast. I really enjoyed the Heineken Cup... More

Cost us more to stay here than the price of the room. It just got worse and worse and then were robbed.

Well where do I start? The room we were assigned room 132 was basic to say the least, only a bed and a tiny tv with a broken controller no bedside light or table or anything infact. The shower wasn't working we had no hot water for two days to have a shower, when we did try to run the... More

“Dirtiest Hostel Ever.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2013

Literally the worst hostel experience of my life. Water stains on the ceiling and carpet, small showers, gross bathrooms and overall dirty rooms. Do not lift up the sheets to look at the mattress...disgusting. During my stay there was a flood in the bathroom above me and toilet water was dripping onto my pillow. After sleeping at Starbucks and yelling... More

We were in Dublin for the weekend. The recepcionist that we met first was not really nice, but is true that later on the rest were nice with us. The rooms are ok, but the bathroom (we had it inside) is really small, and bit old, just 2 big towels, no carpet for the shower, no towel for hand, no... More

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2013

Good location , clean B&B. if you after luxury hotel, it's not for you. but if you want a cheap clean B&B , this one is right. 24 hour reception. Free wifi. very close to centre. saved a lot in transport. Breakfast included. windows are single glazed so it can be little noisy at night. helpful staff.

“It was an experience, I'll give you that...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2013

I came here with a friend, and had picked it basically because it was the cheapest that we could both agree on. We weren't expecting a luxury hotel, and were aware that we would have a shared bathroom- but what we weren't expecting was to have a shower cubicle right in the room. Possibly a benefit, but struck me as... More

“Misleading website, poor quality room.”

My boyfriend and I stayed in this guesthouse for one night. We chose it due to the website, photos, price, and location. When we arrived, our room was on the very top floor, with no elevator (which made bringing luggage up awkward). Our first impression was that the room had a bad smell, and a view onto a burnt out...
