The guest house was perfect for us. It was considerably away from the tourist hot spots, but close to the botanical gardens. We like to walk, so the location was very good. The breakfast was very good, and the service at the hotel was consistently excellent.

Very friendly staff. We showed up 3 hours early for checkin and they were able to hold our bags, let us use the rest room and dining area, and gave us parking allowing us to walk to the local pub to kill time.

A quiet off street, walking distance to food and bus. Small, clean and private. Everyone I ran into, both staff and guests, were kind and inviting. There was a very nice inner courtyard that was a secret gem of a spot to be for a few moments. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Egans Guest House!

I actually felt like this property was more than worth the cost. I did get a little worried about it after booking and seeing all the bad reviews, but it was actually very decent. Especially for 60 american dollars. If you're just staying a night or two, its worth it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

The absolute worst hotel!

Do not stay here. This had to be the worst place we have ever stayed! Even compared to European small room standards! The pictures the hotel provides are misleading. Everything is old! The beds and pillows are hard. There is carpet on the floor in the bedroom which made us question the overall cleanliness of the room. There is poor ventilation in the rooms as well. Definitely not worth the prices they are charging. This felt more like a hostel than a bed and breakfast. It was so uncomfortable that we left earlier than planned and found a beautiful newer hotel in Dublin's shopping district with a king bed for less than what Egan's charged for their run down facility.

Rooms are small but clean. The bed was very compfortable and the bathroom while limited in size offered a decent shower. The staff was very helpful. While in reasonable walking distance to the city center getting a public transport ticket makes thi gs far more compfortable

Winter

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was really nice and the rooms were clean. I had a family room and it was spacious with a bathroom, dresser, and big tv. It also had a window that we were able to open to the view of the garden. The area was really quiet. It takes about 10-15 minutes walking to get to main streets which isn’t too bad. From there, there are buses to get to where you need to.

Great location but issues with water temp/pressure

Fantastic efficient staff and lovely building/room. Only reason i gave less than full stars was that water temp and pressure was bad on both occasions tried to use shower. Staff said all checked out but must have been due to high usage in a.m. Great location- could actually walk to dublin city centre in about 30 minutes. Also took bus to airport- short 10 min walk and under 3 pounds fare. Closest grocery and several restaurants about a 10 min walk away. Also walkable to Natl Botantic Gardens and GAA- great museum there on gaelic sports games.
