Pembroke Townhouse  

Pembroke Townhouse is a wonderful place to stay while in Dublin. The view from our room was spectacular and the location perfect - with approx. a 15 minutes walk into the city centre. The staff members were extremely helpful and friendly and the room spotlessly clean and the bathroom ditto.

On basic principle it bothered us that we had to pay to use the Internet which ought to simply be part of the service so that guests can book tickets, check weather etc.

Front desk people were great - very helpful and friendly, especially Julia and Francesco

The front steps are a little challenging to navigate with rolling suitcases!

Location, just a three min. Walk into Ballsbridge where there are a number of decent restaurants and also only a fifteen to twenty min. Walk to Grafton St. Also a number of decent restaurants on the walk into town. Free and secure parking to the rear of the hotel. You can also access the hotel from the rear so very handy for bringing in luggage. Nice breakfast which may seem a little expensive at 15 euro but if you went into a restaurant and ordered everything that is available to you at Pembroke it wouldn't be that much cheaper. Shower (In Bath) in the bathroom was pretty powerful. The bedroom that we had to the rear of the hotel while not over big was nice and quiet at night ensuring a decent nights sleep.

There was nothing that we actually disliked about the hotel and at the price that we got on Booking.com we in no way could gripe but if you were paying the full rate you might say that the tv in the room was pretty small. Not an issue for us as we watch very little television when on holidays. No bar in the hotel, again not really an issue as there are plenty within walking distance but it may be important for some travelers.

Situation. Style and decor. Staff....couldn't have been more helpful to my elderly mother. Private parking. Quiet.

It was well located. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and well furnished. We had a split-level room which served our purposes well. I was travelling with my niece and nephew and that room set-up worked well for us. We enjoyed the complimentary tea and coffee and cookies brought to our room any time we asked for them. The location in town was also beautiful.

It would have been nice to have breakfast included and free wifi.

The Pembroke Townhouse offered just what I expected. The lovely exterior with the Georgian doors was matched by an elegant lobby.The room wasn't quite as big as pictured, but it had a beautiful view and a king-size bed. We particularly appreciated the large bathtub. It's location is in a quiet area, but close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see in Dublin. It was a very short walk to Stephen's Garden, which was blooming with flowers already in early March. One desk clerk provided us with a great recommendation for dinner (The Winding Stair) and was very friendly. Not all clerks were as friendly and she, but at the times we saw them, it didn't matter. We took advantage of the complimentary tea and cookies, but did not eat there. I feel we got good value for our money.

The friendly staff gave me a very warm welcome even I didn't respect my reservation requirement (I arrive early instead of very late as first said). Nice room in a modern county style, whith comfortable beds. Net morning they served me an excellent irish breakfast at a very reasonble price. Great value for money.

Its friendly atomsphere.

Room a bit too small . for 2. room no 501

Staff were friendly. My request for a bright room was heeded and that is what I was offered but the receptionist was also nice enough to warn me that it might be noisy (it wasn't excessively so). Breakfast was excellent with lovely scones and a selection of homemade breads and preserves. A nice additional touch was the availability of recipes for some of their home baking. There was also a pleasant sitting area beside the foyer. Late arrival was not a problem, there was plenty of parking, and bus stops for several routes are nearby.

Only minor quibbles; the sash window was difficult to open (but when I asked, a staff member ensured that it was opened for me) and the water pressure in the shower was a bit low.

The staff are very friendly, the location is good and there is free parking.

I feel the rooms were very dated and the bathrooms very old fashioned. I felt it was expensive for what was on offer. Breakfast was not included and the internet had a charge.

I have stayed at Pembroke House many times and I say again, as I have said several times, the breakfast is excellent, but much too expensive. I am inclined to buy a muffin and make coffee in my room, rather than pay 12.50 - 15.00 euros for breakfast. I can get a lunch or even a dinner for that price in Dublin Center.

Myself,husband and our fourteen year old daughter stayed overnight on Fri.5th of August at the Pembroke Townhouse and really enjoyed our stay.We found Fiona and her team of staff to be very friendly,nothing was too much bother for them.Our room was spotless,and this is one area where I am very particular but I could not find fault.The townhouse is in a great location, we were at the Dublin Horseshow,also it has plenty of good resturants near bye.

Location and the parking facility did not have breakfast so cannot comment on food etc.

Unfortunately there was an oversight re. our room the bin in the bathroom wasn't emptied and was overflowing once opened that evening just off putting...... On returning at eightish that evening got into bed very cold as weather not great n had been walking around all day heating wouldn't come on in the room and then realised there was no tea/coffee facilities and I wasn't getting dressed again to go outside to perhaps get a cup of something at reception n as I had already called the guy re the bin I wasn't going to ask him again to get me a cup of tea. So heating should be available regardless Irish summers. Tea etc facilities in room required n rooms need double checking.
