I am a Dubliner who lives in London. I return home to see family quite a lot and I've now found a new more ideal place to stay - it ticks all the boxes! So close to taxi rank to take you into town, also served my local buses. City Centre is a 30 minute walk if you fancy a stroll. The rooms have an essence of homliness (very 20th century;) but the artwork is fab! Excellent shower, marvellous breakfast. The one thing you need to do is keep an eye on off season prices - the room per night price has risen and you can now compare prices with hotels closer to town (along Camden St) but if the price is right... go for it. A great place to stay. You won't regret it.

Well Uppercross House is a 70s B&B masquerading as an hotel. Grossly overpriced at €220 a night (extra if you dont pay at the time of booking with booking.com). In fairness, given that part of the B&B would appear to be given over to immigrants, the rooms that are left are charged at a premium rate. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

You can easily get a bus into Dublin from Rathmines.

Your staff definitely made our stay just lovely. They were friendly, very attentive and couldn't do enough for us, definitely the jewel in your crown. Room was great, bed very comfy. Breakfast was gorgeous and plenty of it. We were in the bar and restaurant during our stay and again the staff were wonderful great food, quick service and will definitely be back again
