Ariel House is a pair of Georgian houses in beautiful leafy Dublin 4. This is a “real Dublin” place to stay. Friendly, furnished with antique furniture, comfortable and unique. I had a room upstairs for my last stay, with a beautiful view of Dublin at night. There’s a big front room to sit in and have a glass of wine... More

I have to say that I am really confused by the reviews for Ariel House - they are at absolute odds with my own recent experience of staying there. I stayed for two nights last weekend. My room was a twin bedded dark and dreary room in the basement of the adjoining building. On arrival, in the rain, and having... More

I joined TripAdvisor to leave this positive review of an unusually outstanding B&B. It feels like I spent weeks looking for the right spot in Dublin during our combined business/pleasure trip. It seemed like hotels were either central to downtown but super noisy at night, central-ish but really expensive, or far out of town but quiet and affordable. I finally... More

We stayed in the lead up to Christmas in the Ariel and will rave about our stay. From check in to our departure we couldn't fault the staff nor the welcome. We arrived late and were able to sit in the comfy lounge with the tv remote enjoying a pizza delivery. We felt like lord and lady of the manor.,especially... More

We are a family of five who stayed at Ariel House 2 nights, a double room for the parents and an enormous family room for the kids. Best hotel for value.

Friendly and quiet place slightly outside the city center. You need the DART or bus to get to city center, which will cost you about 5 euro per day for two return. But located right next to DART so very convenient. Truly great breakfast, nice lounge to sit or read in the evening. Basically only two small minor points: double... More
