I've returned to Pembroke Townhouse several times. Lovely location and appointments, good breakfasts, though more fresh and varied fruit would be nice. They kindly accommodate my lactose intolerance by having soy milk on hand. Downsides are no free wifi (there is a charge, which at this point in time is ridiculous, as many B&Bs and most hotels have free wifi now); air does not circulate well in the back rooms; the front rooms get traffic noise from Pembroke Road. But all in all, if you get a quiet room away from the street, when they run specials Pembroke Townhouse offers very good value.

My friend and I stayed at Pembroke Townhouse for one night on our last night in Ireland. Overall, this was great accommodation for our needs. The staff was friendly and were quick to provide us with nearby recommendations for food and drink - Millers Pizza was especially good, as was Bellamy's Bar, near the US Embassy. Furthermore, they were always happy to provide us with coffee and cookies outside of meal hours. Our room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint with the room was that there was neither a fan nor air conditioning. This is fine, but if it gets too hot, as it did during our stay, it can be tough to sleep.
The location was in a residential location near the tourist zone. I liked that we were somewhat removed but within easy walking distance from all the main tourist sites. I felt like we had our own private home in Dublin!
Overall it's a solid choice and I would stay there again.

My fiance and I stayed here for a long weekend. We were both very impressed with the Pembroke Townhouse. We were worried that the room might be tiny after reading reviews that said they were quite small but these worries were unfounded as the room was an ideal size. The townhouse was clean and tastefully decorated throughout, and the breakfast room was rarely busy. Breakfasts were delicious and we ordered something from the cooked breakfast menu every day. We also made use of the tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary cookies. The townhouse is a short 5 min stroll from some shops and restaurants; and a slightly further walk into the city centre - I would say about 20 mins to Grafton St but there are plenty of nice bars and restaurants on the streets around Merrion Square which isn't far away.

It's in a nice area that's out of the tourist area so it has a true Dublin feel. Julia at the front desk is the nicest and the other staff is OK. It's a cute and cozy place but the rooms are a bit small and there's no air so it was a little hard to fall asleep.

They have a lot of tourist booklets and brew some nice coffee and cookies. There's a bar called Bellamy up the street that is great! The doors of Dublin in this area are also very nice and you can walk 15 mins to Temple Bar area.

I missed the breakfast so can't comment. Overall it's a cute place, just small.
