Donnybrook Lodge B&B  

Vanuit autoweg slecht te zien,en moeilijk op eigen parkeerplaats kunt komen

The room was clean and quiet, very basic but good for price as we didn't go to Dublin to stay in a hotel room all day. Shower worked which is always a plus. Easy bus ride straight into the main town (15 mins)

Breakfast was basic. Only had 1 key for three people. Our room was at the back but those at the front are on a main road so traffic noise maybe an issue. Taxi drivers didn't seem to know where it was.

Location

Bit disapponted with the room and whoke environment

Beds were very comfortable.

Bathroom was too small and not particularly clean. No one was available for check-in for 20 minutes.

This was a good enough area and you can park at the B&B.

First of all it is not a B&B it is a room only,we paid for B&B but 2 glass jars of cereal do not pass for breakfast continental or otherwise. we left and had breakfast some where else. The bedroom was nice size but bathroom was ridiculously small and toilet would not flush only once at night and once in the morning!The bed was so uncomfortable and the room was cold. I would not stay here again and would not recommend this to anyone.Definately not worth the money,we were very disappointed.

I would suggest anyone staying in Donnybrook buy a ramble bus ticket as there is a good bus service to the City center or to Dun Laoghaire. A five day ramble bus ticket cost me €22.00 (you can purchase it at the airport and use the bus to get to the B&B).

There was no Wifi, the password would not work and as far as I could ascertain the router was not connected I tried to contact reception on the phone on two occasions there was no reply. The remote control did not work I think it needed new batteries.

Staff were friendly. Free wi-fi

The location is a bit way out from the city centre. Had I known I would have chosen something better. The breakfast was really really poor. Rather exclude breakfast altogether than including soething that sloppy. I wouldnt call a bit of cornflakes and milk, a small tub of yoghurt and juice a breakfast. I didnt even bother with the do-it-yourself coffee as in europe I am used to fiter coffee. The room (room no 9) was really tiny, and the wall paper thin, so much so that I didnt switch on my tv in cae I disturbed the neighbours. The one morning I could even hear the groans of hte neighbours getting it on. Lol.

Nothing.....

This is not a B&B, this is a very bad hostel. While the guy in charge was nice and helpful this place is a no go for anyone wanting a comfortable, clean place to stay. It was filthy, out dated and in serious need of an overhaul. When I booked it, it said B&B and clearly stated that it included a full 'English' breakfast, however when we booked in we were told it was a continental breakfast which would be left outside out door. This consisted of two small 'kids' cereal, two small cartons of orange juice, two small yogurts and a small carton of milk..The curtains were hanging off the rail, the bathroom was filthy, covered in stains.. and the rest of the bedroom was so dirty you were afraid to touch anything. We had to pay on arrival which I can understand now having seen the bedroom, no one in their right mind would pay for this after seeing it. Only good thing about the place was location, directly across the road from the RTE studios, could be such a booming business if the owners just put in some money in to it. Do not stay here, regardless of location..

It was convenient for travel into Dublin where I was working, It was inexpensive and clean.

Should have had a continental breakfast delivered at 8.00am, waited till 08.30am but still no breakfast. As I paid for b&b I was not too pleased with this.

Pleasant staff who provided me with tea making facilities after I requested them as these were not available in room.

Decor was shabby certainly could do with a face lift. A bit of effort and this could be transformed into a respectable b&B. Please be aware on arrival I was told I was sharing a shower room not stipulated when booking.....not great if you need facilities during the night!!! Thankfully I was only availing of it for one night.

The location is very good, on the bus routes to the city as well as the airport and very close to the university.

The room is very musty and mouldy in the bathroom. The main road is very noisy which makes sleeping difficult.

Nothing apart from the area

I brought this for a birthday gift for my dad but it was so bad he only stayed one nite he had to find other accomadation for the other nite the net was falling off the window curtains were dirty damp all over the celling and walls and no one was there when he arrived even though he e mailed the dat before to say the time they would arrive and when they did get in the room was still dirty and beds not made from the people that stayed before so he left for a couple of hours and returned to the the room excatly the same not good enough very poor and no english breakfast just a knock on the the door and ceral left out the door at 8 o clock so I am not happy with this at all as I spend money on this as a gift

Absolutely nothing

First impression the funny aroma on entering the property, given the choice of two rooms but neither were any good. The room was dirty, mouldy smelly bathroom had to request dry towels on second day but staff member on duty said she had to wait until manager came in! Sheets were just about see through other guests said breakfast was very oily so we didnt eat there. Had to go out and ring doorbell to get any service as all rooms including dining area were locked up. Supposed to be 3 star would only give 2 at the most..
