Four couples had a fabulous time worth the visit - shower poor but updates due apparently. Breakfast outstanding and service absolutely first rate. Excellent location good for the aviva stadium and the walk into town is only 20 minutes strolling. You will really like this place - trust me.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The location is great, we were looking for something away from the noise of the city, but with easy access to the city. This hotel is a block away from the train that has direct access to the city. Breakfast was nice, although not the best we had on that trip. We were also upgraded to a larger room, which was a nice surprise. The staff also helped my husband to buy flowers, chocolates and strawberries. Amazingly enough, they did not even seem to up-charge these things, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a very nice, bright room. Nicely decorated and the curtains were so thick they really kept the sunlight out in the morning. Beds were very comfortable. I absolutely recommend including the breakfast with your room. Good food, excellent service, and a beautiful little dining room. They were located about a 20 minute walk from downtown, but very near a train stop, so if you don't want to walk it's still easy to get downtown. The only down side of the room had to do with the bathroom. There was no place to put toiletries so we ended up balancing them on the end of the tub. Also no towel rack for the face towel, so that was balanced on the edge of the sink. The shower guard didn't work very well, so every time we showered we had lots of water on the floor. The bathroom fan (which came on with the light) was very noisy. Especially disturbing in the middle of the night. That being said, I would still recommend this B&B. I did leave a comment card, and since the owner seemed to care, I wouldn't doubt if at least some of these minor problems were fixed by now. One more thing - no one told us the car park next door was theirs also, which would have been good to know when the tiny lot in front was full.

Ariel house is a warm, friendly, spotlessly clean BnB. We were so well cared for. The breakfast is out of this world! It is a quick cab ride to Grafton Road and Temple Bar. The beds were comfortable and rooms spacious and spotless. You cannot go wrong with this BnB!
