Just spent one night. We were upgraded on arrival to a spacious room , 101, overlooking the street as the standard room had some unknown problem. This was good news! Staff were very friendly and room was very clean. There were two beds in the room, both very low and a chair in the room would have been welcome as there was space for it. The en suite was small but practical. Location is very central, but noisy on a Fri night....didn’t mind too much. Pricey, but I suppose that’s typical Dublin at the moment! I would recommend.

We stayed here for 3 nights for our first trip to Dublin and it was great. Friendly helpfull staff ( Sean), the rooms,although a bit small, were en suite and clean. Full Irish breakfast was substantial (plenty of other choices) and always piping hot with as much coffee/tea as you wanted. Ideal location just off O'Connell st, and a short walk to Temple Bar. The restaurant and traditional pub attached were fab,with great live music every night. Would recommend.

We stayed here just 1 night. I picked it because it was walking distance to Connolly Train Station, because we had an early train the next morning. Sean at the front desk, was the essence of Irish hospitality! But it is an older property on a busy street with squeeky floors, with rooms right over a bar with music going til about 11:30pm. We knew that in advance, so we were prepared. Breakfast wasnt bad either. It met our needs, & I would recommend if you are doing the same, but not for a longer stay.

We arrived for a 4 night stay and from start to finish the stay was wonderful. The staff in the hotel are so friendly and helpful and will help you with anything you need, also the cleaners are friendly and always say hello. The hotel room was extremely clean and beds was very comfortable, the room has a tea and coffee facilities which are refilled daily along with shampoos and a hairdryer, there's also a safe in the room ( free of charge ) which isn't normally the case. The hotel is very central and only a 10 minute walk into temple bar and some of the main attractions. If I returned to Dublin this hotel would be my choice of stay.

Do not touch this guesthouse with a barge pole. My family and I had a four night stay at this guesthouse. The rooms have little or no soundproofing, the nightlife on Talbot street is considerably loud, so you have absolutely no chance of sleep until the late small hours. One of our party had a non functioning TV, when we complained we were given total BS about all the TVs being upgraded and it would be back working the next day, needless to say the TV was still non functioning when we left. There is NO LIFT at this place, so beware. Our shower was very basic and tired with poor water pressure. One evening my parter and I went out for an evening meal, when we got back we knocked on the exterior door, the man behind the reception desk was reading a newspaper, he didn’t even raise his eyes and totally ignored us. It fell to another member of staff to let us in. IGNORANT. In short this place is awful, do yourself a favour a find somewhere else.

Clean, Helpful and welcoming. We arrived in Dublin needing accommodation as our Airb&b was filthy and we walked away from it. We found this hotel and right from the moment we walked in we were happy with how we were welcomed.
The rooms are basic but comfortable and have the usual necessities to refresh you. The main thing was they were clean. Our rooms were above the pub and although you could hear the music once the time came for that to stop it was quiet. This isn’t maybe what you would want but the rooms to the rear of the hotel would be quieter.
The staff cleaned the rooms each day and even replaced sheets if required. The entrance is managed 24/7 which was god to know. The reception staff were so helpful giving good advice on places of interest. They can also provide you with discount codes for some of the bus tours going round the city.
Although there is no parking attached to the property you can offload outside and there are two recommended car parks 5 minutes away. We took the car to one of these and left it for the duration of our stay. Upon leaving the reception will provide you with a ticket which discounts your parking.
We mostly are out. The attached pub next door( which is owned by the same owners as the hotel) serves cracking food. We had breakfast the three mornings we were there and for 10 euros was very happy. You have the option of the usual cereal, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Would highly recommend the Irish cooked breakfast ( bacon, sausages, hash browns, white pudding, beans and toast). You can also try some Guinness bread which is made on site and is really good.
For me I would not hesitate to come back here to make it a base for future visits to the city. You are fairly central and are only 5 mins away from the spire and about 10 mins from temple bar. Saying that you wouldn’t need to go there as there are some great pubs in the vicinity of the hotel and some lovely places to eat also.
I can’t thank the staff enough for rescuing our stay in Dublin. I hope you enjoy your stay here if you come. Mark.

I would research other places in the area before booking here. The staff were nice but the location of the hotel is above a bar that plays music loudly late into the night it would’ve been nice to have known this beforehand. We understood booking in a city there might be noise or it might be smaller rooms but for over 200 a night it was pretty disappointing and felt like the hotel marketed itself as higher end when it’s not. Bathroom had mold and room wasn’t super clean. Location was good but I’d look elsewhere for more comparable places.

We arrived just after midnight (we gave notice of later arrival) only to find the car park they use closes at 11pm (were never advised of this and website makes no mention of it...) so we were directed to another that costs 24 Euro!, I asked for extra milk and was asked "how do you know you need it?" by reception chap. Eh, you ALWAYS need more milk, the little cartons take 2 per cup. He grudgingly have me more, 2 handsful, sarcastically - I'll take those, thank you... Room was grim, stain on sheet but wasn't going to interact with desk guy again after "milk gate." so husband was sent to that area. Interesting that some review stated that it's very clean, dont know when that statement was made of which room they stayed in, it wasn't ours that's for certain. Shower is full of mould, nothing that a bottle of bleach and some effort wouldn't sort out, so do that, please...photos attached. When in shower I checked top of shower head out of interest (watch too much Four in a bed...) it was filthy, so I cleaned it for them using a hand towel (again, see photos.) The shampoo supplied is TINY, think Liliputian. I have long hair and would need three of these to wash it, but you only get 2. Even the curtains have random, dodgy looking stains on them! TV is tiny, you practically need binoculars to see the screen, but don't bother as the TV doesn't work anyway! (Evidence again supplied...) It's 2024 people - get the place cleaned and a TV that works, it's not rocket science!!! I chose not to have breakfast here, if the room is so dirty and that's what guests see, I don't know what the kitchen is like, I can't check it so am not taking any chances.. Strange priorities - you have a safe in the room - very handy, thank you - yet cleaning is negligible - evidence in photos provided... Forshame!

The rooms are small, which I could deal with, but the bathroom mold was horrible. High in the shower, all over the vent, along the tile grout and along the bottom of the wall seams with the base. You just were afraid to touch anything in there. You can't bend over at the sink without the bathroom door open, that's how close it was in our room (#306). Maybe some are bigger, don't know? The supplied hair dryer cord was fastened to one of the bed nightstands in the corner of the room, with a bracket and screws. Nowhere near a mirror. They did provide another dryer when we asked, it just seemed really strange where they had the one in the room.

No. I would not recommend staying at Celtic Lodge Guest House. Floor creaked, room was dirty, bed was horrible. The bathroom screen would not close, no water pressure. Cobwebs on ceiling. Could hear noise from other rooms. Could not wait to leave there. Definitely the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. Over priced for what they offer. There are other stays at similar rates which are much nicer.
Parking is available in a nearby multi storey car park. €25 per 24 hours.
You can get a voucher at the Celtic Lodge that gives you 50% off the parking thus 24 hours is only €12.50
Yes, they have about 5 hangers but I brought a few with me just in case. Also, there is a store right nearby that you can buy some hangers if you need more for like 1 euro.
I would contact the lodge directly. I stayed in a single room two separate times. I found the room that was higher up to be more spacious. I don't know if that applies to double rooms or not.
There are more places to choose from in the Dublin area.
