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

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

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.

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.

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

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...
