Literally the worst hostel experience of my life. Water stains on the ceiling and carpet, small showers, gross bathrooms and overall dirty rooms. Do not lift up the sheets to look at the mattress...disgusting. During my stay there was a flood in the bathroom above me and toilet water was dripping onto my pillow. After sleeping at Starbucks and yelling... More

We were in Dublin for the weekend. The recepcionist that we met first was not really nice, but is true that later on the rest were nice with us. The rooms are ok, but the bathroom (we had it inside) is really small, and bit old, just 2 big towels, no carpet for the shower, no towel for hand, no... More

We stayed at avondale from 6th feb to the 10th feb. We literally booked it the night before we left and didn't check out trip advisor as we rushed the booking, I wish we had looked now!! When we initially checked into our room we literally just dumped our bags and headed out. Initial thoughts were, decor bit tired, bit... More

Good location , clean B&B. if you after luxury hotel, it's not for you. but if you want a cheap clean B&B , this one is right. 24 hour reception. Free wifi. very close to centre. saved a lot in transport. Breakfast included. windows are single glazed so it can be little noisy at night. helpful staff.

I came here with a friend, and had picked it basically because it was the cheapest that we could both agree on. We weren't expecting a luxury hotel, and were aware that we would have a shared bathroom- but what we weren't expecting was to have a shower cubicle right in the room. Possibly a benefit, but struck me as... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in this guesthouse for one night. We chose it due to the website, photos, price, and location. When we arrived, our room was on the very top floor, with no elevator (which made bringing luggage up awkward). Our first impression was that the room had a bad smell, and a view onto a burnt out...

My mom and I just returned from a trip to Dublin. This B&B was pretty good. Everything was clean, just outdated/tacky. And you're paying for the location - all the B&Bs/hotels in that area are very old buildings so they will all be the same. Breakfast was awesome, you got hot food; not just cereal and toast. Staff was friendly... More

We wanted a hotel close to the Connolly train station and the Avondale House was our only option for the night. It was quite expensive for a room with a miniscule shower and a shared bathroom. The price included breakfast but they do not start serving breakfast until 8am which was half an hour after we needed to depart so... More

Disgusting as soon as you walk through the door. Smells of smoke and the tiny shower that's basically on top of the bed is just a joke. Paper thin walls, could hear the guest next door snoring. Breakfast was average also.
