My partner and I spent one night at the Anchor Guesthouse when we were passing through Dublin at the end of May. The hotel is a more than adequate and reasonably priced (for Dublin) option for anyone staying for a few days in the city. Our room was nothing special, but the rest of the hotel is very quaint and... more

I fully agree with other users by saying the Anchor House is a small hotel rather than a B&B. The location is excellent as it is within walking distance of O'Connell street, the main shopping areas and Temple Bar. The room was located in the more recent "annex". It was a bit small, but nicely furnished and clean. There were... more

Though the location is convenient to walking central Dublin, the noise of the street and the bright street light made the stay less than restful. Friendly staff. We had our first "Irish breakfast" here, so we hadn't yet tired of eggs and bacon. more

The Anchor in in the City Center along a row of similar properties. It's a bit long in the tooth and very basic. However, the very friendly staff make up for that several times over. If your looking for posh this isn't for you but it's a comfortable stay. more

The Anchor was great. We only stayed one night in Dublin, but we wanted to stay longer. The Anchor has a great location, within walking distance to most of the attractions in Dublin. They had secure parking behind the house, which was a BIG plus in the city center. The only catch is that you have to specifically request it... more

Ditto for just about everything everyone else has commented on in their reviews. Central bus station one block away; Tara train station 2-3 blocks away. Rooms at front of building are older, but I believe are bigger than annex rooms. Double beds are King size. We had window open and could hear late evening noise from people walking nearby, but... more

I stayed there recently with the my friend. I have stayed in many other contries as tourist in similar type of B§B-s, but this little guest house was outstanding. The room and the shower attached was big enough for two, very clean, done daily, towels changed etc. For breakfast only 4 choices were available, but the ladies serving it added... more

My wife and I went to Dublin in January as a holiday tagged onto the end of a business trip. The accommodation in Dublin is pretty expensive so we went hunting in the B&Bs section and found this gem. The Anchor Guest House is close to the main bus station and Connolly Street station, and only a little walk (5-10mins)... more

Overall I really enjoyed my stay at the Anchor Guesthouse. The staff were incredibly friendly and they have 24 hour reception, so you don't have to worry if your flight gets in late. Breakfast was delicious and you do have some choices on the menu. In terms of location, it wasn't exactly in the middle of things, but it was... more
