“Nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

We arrived early in the morning to Dublin, for our 2 night stay at Ariel House. The staff did everything they could to get us checked in early. Although we waited for a while, their efforts were very kind. The was very big and was kept very clean and comfortable. We were on the bottom floor, and it seemed to be newly renovated. It was one of the few placed we stayed that had an iron and ironing board. The food was so-so compared to other B&B's that we stayed at. Overall, it was a good experience. Only a block away from the DART and a 10 minute walk to the Airport bus. The is really no easy way to get to the city center though.

“I would recommend this hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

Just returned from our weekend in Dublin and we would fully recommend this hotel. All round very good quality hotel. Good value for money. Excellent breakfast menu. Free coffee and cakes in the drawing room was a bonus! Friendly staff. Great location - 2 minutes walk from the Dart.

“Absolutely Fabulous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

Have just returned from staying in Dublin at Ariel House and it was just fabulous. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was special. The decor was elegant, the service impeccible and the food to die for. The breakfast was delicious with a choice you would not receive in many well-known hotels and beautifully presented. The staff were so helpful (especially the manageress) ensuring our evening meal was booked for us as we were out for the day and attending to our every need. We had to change our original booking as illness prevented some of our party from attending and this was graciously done without any fuss.
Thank-you.
I am hoping to return with my husband in February for a short break and am already excited about enjoying such superb hospitality again.
Cannot recommend Ariel House enough!

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

We really enjoyed our stay at Ariel House. The staff were so helpful and the rooms were lovely. We were most amazed by the fantastic breakfast menu, all of which was delicious. On arrival we were given fresh tea and warm scones!

It has a great location close to the Aviva Stadium, Dart Station & the RDS.

I normally stay elsewhere when we go to Dublin but from now on I will be staying in Ariel House!

“What a fabulous find, thank you so much.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012 via mobile

Fantastic location, wonderful people, great breakfast and those little extra touches that mean so much. Keep your big impersonal hotels, Aries house is Dublin hospitality at its best and a place to cherish. 5 minutes walk to the RDS, 1 min walk to the dart, 3 stops to the city centre. We will be back very soon, thank you.
