Aberdeen Lodge  

The staff was friendly, flexible, and unobtrusive. The downstairs decor was pleasant. It was nice to be able to order tea or coffee or a drink whenever I wished.

This highly reviewed inn seemed a bit tatty--at least the room I was in seemed so. I felt that I was placed in the old servant's quarters. The room was on a high floor and since there is no lift, there were too many stairs to have to climb up and down on a regular basis. The bathroom facilities were primitive (no mixing of hot and cold water in the sink; no hairdryer) and some of the towels were definitely threadbare. It was all too easy to hear the folks in the next room--especially in the middle of the night. Given the booking.com discount I did not feel quite entitled to complain--but I was disappointed.

Friendliest staff ever. Everybody was outstanding and really nice. Location is ok, 5 minutes from dart, very quiet neighbourhood with a good restaurant nearby

A bit overpriced. Also, given the particular type of building, we heard all the steps at the upper floor, due to wood creaking. We had also some sat channel on tv, but probably tuned on the owner's receiver: we lost the end of a movie we were watching because he decided to view another one :-)

Cosy, comfortable, friendly, convenient to dublin city centre, excellent staff always ready to provide tea and toast, the best breakfast anywhere, just right. We always stay there when in dublin

Leaving

Warm welcome from staff. Good quality breakfast and pleasant reception room.

A lovely private hotel in a quiet location. The staff were extremely helpful. First class service!!

Very friendly and attentive staff

Excellent small private hotel, not many whistles and bells however if you are looking for a comfortable well run anti-dote to the faceless Hiltons of this world then stay at the Aberdeen Lodge.

We had a great time, the staff was wonderful. Would definetly recommend this hotels to other travelers.

Break fast was good but would have liked the opion of a Irish breakfast w/ potate and soda bread.

The lodge offers very nice Dublin lodging in an affluent suburb with quick city access via the Dart. The breakfast is very nice (both food and presentation) as were the sandwich/salad plates made for us when we returned from the theater. A beach is nearby for walking. A couple of nearby restaurants offer good food within walking distance. The hosts and staff are terrific.

The staff is excellent and the hotel is beautiful. For a small hotel the services were on par with a larger luxury hotel. The breakfast was fantastic with a great view to the garden. The lounge is comfortable with daily newspapers, computer and free wifi. Near a very nice local area of Dublin called Sandymount with several pubs and good restaurants.

Not in the center of Dublin, but the number 2 or 3 bus stops very close to the Lodge. In the evening a taxi costs about 12 Euros from the center to the Lodge.

Very pleasant home on grand street in great location on the outskirts of Dublin. Enclosed formal backyard with tables for breakfast outdoors. 10 minute walk to Dublin Bay, two town areas 10 min wak for dining, very pleasant breakfast with hot choices and buffet items. Will serve dinner if requested. Two sports clubs with large fields and active youth and adult teams in neighborhood (rugby, soccer, cricket, hockey, and bowling). 5 minute walk to dart stop, 10 mins cab ride to city center. Highly personal staff seemed to accomodate everyone's needs well. I was on business but there were holiday travellers and couples as well.

The owner's attention. Details such as tea and cookies offered when I arrived, and my luggage carried upstairs before I knew it.

Eggs were over cooked, to my taste but it may be a cultural distinction. So, I will get used to it, no problem. If you do mind, you may just want to ask the very friendly staff when you order breakfast.

Pleasant staff. Convenient non-city-centre location.

On the "fair, not excellent" value-for-money rating, I happen to be visiting Germany now where the bed-and-breakfast rate in a comparable hotel is significantly lower.
