Donnybrook Hall

My experience at Donnybrook Hall was wonderful! My double room was more than adequate with an updated private bathroom. Enough hangers in wardrobe for my 8 night stay. Comfy bed, warm room (with the nice option to crack open a window) for my December stay. TV also included music channels, which was nice, Coffee/tea/biscuit/choc croissant in room daily. The staff was hospitable from checkin to my departure, Encountered a friendly face to ask about needing help every morning and night. Daily housekeeping was reliable and trustworthy. Defiantly a family operation! The neighborhood is great. There is a row of shops that include an upscale market, a bakery/coffee shop, Tesco, a pub with a restaurant and another restaurant. A fast food place serving really good fish and chips is open late along with another fast food place. There is a bus stop near the hotel, city center is about a 20 min ride by bus. I used taxis (easy pickup area in front of hotel) and safely walked into town many times. A taxi to temple bar was about 15-20 euros, a 50 min walk. This is a good option for a nice, quiet stay. A great value for the room and resourcefulness of the staff. Would defiantly recommend and revisit Donnybrook Hall!

I have been traveling a lot for work for well over a decade, and unfortunately, this has been the second-biggest accommodation disappointment to date. Based on its great reviews, I was expecting a nice stay, but I ended up with a room that smelled like mold and had at least one big visible mold spot (I have photos and videos to prove this). Since my stay was only a few nights and the staff was exceptionally nice to me, I didn't complain, but I hope they do something about the mold situation. The property consists of two buildings, a regular house in the front that was warm and smelled nice, and a few additional units in the back yard. I stayed in one of the latter, so I suspect the positive reviews come from rooms in the main building.

This is an amazing guest house. Spotless clean. Martins and Terry couldn’t do enough. Will definitely return. 5 star service.

Lovely, extremely clean, wonderful friendly proprietors, in a safe and convenient location. My garden room was gorgeous - made me wish I'd booked to stay longer than just one night. Everything was A+. Pro-tip - do take the recommendations for where to go and what to do in Dublin - everything they suggested to me was spot-on perfect.

Thanks so much to Terry and his staff. They made my stay at Donnybrook Hall very comfortable. It is a lovely property, out of the way of the noise of the city but close enough to walk to the centre and still experience Dublin!

With my job I am used to the bigger well known properties but this was close to a work venue and exceeded all expectations. A true gem.

My only regret is that we didn’t stay here longer! The location is perfect, the accommodation is lovely, clean, new, comfortably welcoming... perfect! We had two rooms in the back off of the sun room/ dining room and they were charming. Our host was so nice and we were able to meet her dad the next morning on our way out. The neighborhood is fantastic, there are a few restaurants/pubs and shops within walking distance and a bus if you wish to go to City Center instead of the 15 minute walk. I can’t wait to visit here again, in 2020!! ***UPDATE well we all know what happened in 2020😣 hence we finally made it back in 2023. This time we were able to stay for 3 nights and I’m so glad we did!! We attended events at Energia Park and Aviva Stadium which we both an easy walk from Donnybrook Hall. We walked into City Center, it was maybe 25-30 minute walk. Leaving City Center we took the DART from Tara and Pe**** stations to the Landsdowne Rd station which is about a 10-15 minute walk from Donnybrook Hall. Nothing has changed, still the perfect location and the hospitality is superb. I honestly can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

20 out of 10 was also what I meant to say as I was checking out. Great property, friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!
