    Amazingly warm and welcoming staff! Terry and his staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful! Was lovely to be able to have a chat getting back from a long day. 😀 Clean, warm, comfortable room. I will definitely be back when visiting home!

    My only very minor criticism is that the WiFi could be slightly stronger, but the same is true in my own house 🤷‍♂️ It would be useful to have a low table or bench to put a suitcase on, probably instead of the wardrobe.

    Terry and his staff are exceptionally hospitable! My room was large and very comfortable, with a double bed, small dining table and chair, and a wardrobe. The room was nicely decorated. There was also a good sized en-suite bathroom with a shower. The guesthouse is an easy 10minute walk across the park to RDS and 30minutes or so to the city centre. It’s on a residential street, so pretty quiet at night with very little traffic.

    Super nice place, clean and cozy. Very friendly and helpful staff. The young man who greeted me was soft spoken and very friendly. I was very impressed and I would stay again.

    No place ever felt like home as Donnybrook hall when you travel.

    Not the things I did not like but some observations I noted. The place is near a primary school so a lot of children talking especially at the morning. I came around easter so no school then but left two days after children came back so maybe it can bother someone in the morning if they are not planning to leave the room. I got a room where I had to lock the door otherwise it won't shut and even though the walls are not thin the door is so you could hear some noise especially if someone came back. But it resolved very quickly and did not bother me at all. One of the lamps did not work so it should be checked but there was another one so that is ok and the room has a perfect sunlight in the morning.

    I don't have enough adjectives to describe the place which was beyond my expectations for the guest house. It was the only time I wanted to rate the place positively before I left it. I mostly had interaction with Louis and Martina and brief talk with the owner the next morning of my arrival. The warmth and the welcomeness I received was incredible. Even though the property states the check in should be between 2-7 PM I arrived later and was greeted by Louis who not only explained to me about the city but also made me some tea with biscuits. I got really big room which Martina would clean so nicely everyday and change my coffee and tea. It was a very beautiful and clean room and I enjoyed it so much I did not want to leave it. What I really appreciated about the location is that it was not too close to the centre and after a long day of walking and interacting with people it was nice to have some quite time to yourself and because it is a big house there are not so many visitors so it always felt like I am coming back home after a hard day. It is close to all the facilities you need- direct busses to city centre and the airport (!), Tesco and a small market to buy some grocery food if you need, really good cafe that serves the best toasties and breakfast for a reasonable price (Happy Out) and some more if you like. In overall I recommend the place for solo travellers (especially who are a bit introverts like myself) and couples who want a nice get a way for the weekend.

    I didn't, like that I couldn't stay longer.

    Everything about Donnybrook Hall works perfectly for me. The room was immaculate. The staff are friendly and helpful. The biscuits and chocolate were a sweet bonus.

    Parking is limited but the attendant arranged that for me which was great.

    The communication was excellent, as I needed to change my arrival date which was arranged ASAP. The rooms were very clean - bathroom and bedroom, assistant was very friendly upon arrival, apartment is situated very close to a Tesco and other bars for a drink. Conveniently close to my office which worked out perfectly. Wifi has a strong connection.

    I made the mistake of discovering Sandford Road too late. Donnybrook Hall is close to Morehampton Road (which has a nice pub and a great restaurant called Happy Out which I suggest), but Sanford Road is on the other end and has LOTS of shops and restaurants, etc. I didn't get a chance to explore that on my trip. So I'll just come back!

    Fantastic, kind, informative staff; great area close to food and walking areas. The room was comfortable with great water pressure in the shower, and the B&B itself was cozy, well-kept, and honestly, perfect. 10/10

    It would be nice to provide each room with an EU to Irish plug, so that in case any of the guests forgets it, there's always one at hand, since a lot of the guests will only have the need to charge their devices once or twice and forgot the plug (like myself! :) )

    I had an amazing stay at Donnybrook Hall. The staff was very welcoming, attentive and informed me about everything I needed to know to get the best out of my stay in Dublin. There was no problem with checking in, leaving the luggage, early leave in the morning or checking out. The staff always made sure I knew how to get back to the hotel, and remembered my schedule to best accomodate me. The room was spacious and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable, the room was heated, so I never suffered any cold, and the bathroom was nice and modern! There was a TV, a kettle, some tea, and a welcome treat waiting for me. It really felt like home.

    Bathroom door - separate from bedroom. The only issue with this is that using the key to unlock was pretty noisy. Perhaps a keyless lock would reduce this. Even just a cheap Yale keyless lock.

    Everything was clean and perfect - staff were great.
