Azalea Lodge is located on a street with a lot of other B&B's. City busses stop nearby and there are a few restaurants within easy walking distance. Hosts are very helpful and breakfast can be anything from fresh fruit and yogurt to a full Irish breakfast. Taxi fare from airport to Azalea Lodge is very reasonable and is a better bet than trying to manage luggage on busses, which are also available. Free wireless is available for guests so communicate with folks at home via e-mail because a phone is not always available.

Stayed on May 7th and 8th.

Azalea Lodge was our very first bed and breakfast experience in Ireland and it set a high standard for the remainder of our trip. We booked this b & b based on the high reviews on TripAdvisor, and we weren't disappointed. Bernadette and Padraig were very personable and helped with the questions we had on Dublin sightseeing, including how to get to the city centre and also the airport. Our room was spotless and the breakfast was spectacular - especially the bread basket and the fruit bowl! The location *might* be a drawback for some people as it is located away from the city centre - about 15 minutes bus ride - but we actually found it to be an advantage. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood away from the busy side of Dublin, but there is a convenience store (SPAR) right across the street. It is also close to Dublin Airport and the ferry port. We would definitely stay at Azalea Lodge again.

We loved Dublin and all the history it has to offer. Azalea lodge truly became our home away from home. We were staying at Azalea Lodge during the volcano crisis. We cannot say enough about the hospitality that was extended to our family from Bernadette & Padraig. They went above and beyond to accommodate our family and make us feel comfortable. They were watching the news and the status of flights as closely as we were. They offered to help in an way possible so we could make our return trip back to the United States. They let us use their computer and phone as we were looking into various options to get back home. We were so thankful to have Bernadette & Padraig as our hosts. I don't believe we would have had such care given to us from a commercial hotel. Our children experienced first hand true hospitality. They commented several times about how nice Bernadette & Padraig were.
Azalea Lodge was immaculate and Bernadette's breakfast was delicious! It is an easy bus ride to Dublin City Center and there are a few nice restaurants within walking distance to the Inn.
Our daughter is studying in Dublin and when we returned home Bernadette emailed us to see how our trip was and told us that if our daughter needed anything while she is in Dublin that she can call them. Azalea Lodge is a gem because Benadette & Padraig have made it to be a gem!
If we have an opportunity to go back to Dublin we absolutely know where we will be staying!!

Cozy, comfortable and excellent service. Wonderful breakfast, homemade scones and jam so tasty!! Nice and warm. Perfect transportation with the bus right outside guesthouse. We didn´t want to leave for Stockholm. We will choose Azelea for our next trip too!
