We really enjoyed our stay at St. Aiden's. We were instantly welcomed and shown to our room. The space was great and the neighborhood was walkable with lots of dining options. It is very accessible to other parts of Dublin.

Very nice place I think Homely is the word. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Not sure why but most of the places we stayed in have one big puffy bed cover and in warm weather it’s too toasty so I think that a lighter option would be nice, and perhaps a little local map on the wall of street names, shops etc. Great place

Overall an enjoyable experience. Quaint guesthouse. Self-service breakfast on hand in a small kitchenette. Choice of cereals, bread, jams, cheeses, eggs, bacon and yogurt. Lots of pots, pans, crockey and cutlery were provided. Microwave and oven available for preparing small snacks. Room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The guesthouse was clean and we liked the small kitchen that had things like toast, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs to quickly grab before heading out in the morning. Some things could use repair, like shower leaking outside of door, and common areas could use some updating (I.e. decor, torn sofas). The area was quiet, convenient to walkable nearby restaurants (try Lark in Terenure!), and easy to get to downtown Dublin by bus which is used by families and commuters too.

Really friendly staff and clean but a dud bed.

All really good but unfortunately the bed was small and uncomfortable. A pity because everything else really good.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is nice. Its close to the bus stop. I thought the reservation came with a full breakfast but i must have misread. They have cereal, yogurt and different individually wrapped cheese available in their little kitchen. One thing that would be nice is if they had a small table or shelf in the bathroom for toiletries.

Beautiful, cozy old Georgian property just outside Dublin central. Advertised breakfast was continental self-serve only in a small cubby down the hall, had not served full since covid. Advert needs changing. Not fancy, not modern but homey, warm and welcoming. Our room was small and crowded with the bed for 2 and the single for our third person. Beds were comfortable and shower good. Not good for anyone not able to climb stairs or using a wheelchair. Loved the lounge and all the books available. Emmet was a fine host.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is good. But the owner did not give me the booked room (comfort double room) but a box room, cold, damp with the heating that made a very loud noise. I was only moved to a better room after complaining. In this room the shower leaked and the hand shower could not be positioned. Overall I didn't like the owner's attitude. You don't get what you pay for.

The place is in an adorable multi-level Victorian house. The owner, the Marie was very gracious and helpful and even provided us with a lovely tray of tea and pastries when we arrived, we called taxis for us and gave advice for various things. It was also a pretty good location - - just a 3 minute walk from a bus stop that will take you to most places. Also, many of even though there's no hot breakfast, but there's a nice selection of yogurt, oatmeal, bread, boiled eggs, and fruit, and drinks, and etc available to all guests for no extra charge. The only disappointment is that there are no elevatoss and there's several steps climb, but depending on which room you're put in. (There's also no A/CS, but that seems to be the case for many places in Ireland.)
