I have stayed here when doing business at UCD. The rooms are variable and I am getting to know which are the lesser of the evils (I hope never to get 14 again). Breakfast is simple enough but OK for my needs which are simple. Key to this place is to understand what you will get and know ahead of... More

Well it's not the best obviously but hey it's a b&b, nobody's looking for luxury here. Besides it has an "above avarage" breakfast... More

The staff were extremely rude and difficult to contact by phone. We had to wait over 30 minutes to be let in despite being assured staff would be there on time. The price of the room was increased when we arrived to that agreed upon booking due to a 'transaction fault'. We checked all the details and nothing was wrong... More

Whether you should stay here depends entirely on what you are looking for from a B&B in Ireland. There are many negative reviews on here, and I can see that they are justified; yes, the decor is not great verging on nasty in some areas (such as very faded and jaded curtains, and stained radiators etc), the TVs are not...

I traveled a lot all around Ireland in these years and I visited tens of B&B but let me say that the Donnybrook Lodge Guesthouse is absolutely the worst one. The room (in particular the room number 8) was in a terrible condition: it was quite dirty, it had very peeling paint, the dust was everywhere and the smell was... More

The service is so offhand and rude that I wonder if it is supposed to be some sort of joke. When you arrive, nobody is there. After ten minutes spent knocking on a door, you are told off for disturbing the staff. The rooms are filthy, the linens tired and worn and the TVs do not work. Breakfast is the... More

We arrived around 7.30pm, having been called twice to know what time we would arrive: I said 7pm...and found it odd that he should have rung again just 30 minutes after our stated arrival time. The reason soon became clear, however; he left immediately after we went into our room! I had been under the impression that it was 24-hour... More

Without doubt the most disgusting b&b I've ever had the misfortune of stumbling across. Tired and frazzled after driving for hours, we settled reluctantly in this beaten down accomodation in an exclusive area. Noisy traffic, the man nextdoor's late night phone calls (thin wood partition between bedrooms), the greasiest breakfast known to mankind and having to wait outside in the... More

was the worst place I've ever stayed, when we arrived they'd given our room away and saw no problem in telling us that we had to share a bed. was down right rude when we would not accept their explanation, despite having booked 6 months in advance, they eventually offered to put a single bed into the room. this "single"...

We had already booked 2 nights at this B&B prior to reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and by the time we did read them it was too late to cancel so we thought we'd just "see how things go" as the first night was a busy Saturday due to a big rugby match. When we arrived at 13:30hrs (check in... More
