The hotel is an older building converted to a beautifully decorated hotel. The breakfast was delightful. Our server Vanesa was wonderful. Perfect spot for staying if you want to go to a game at the Aviva stadium. Also there are many pubs 13 minutes away by foot.

This was my first time traveling to Dublin, so I was a bit anxious about whether I would be in a good area while also having easy access to the city. Ariel House was the PERFECT location. It was a short 3 min walk to the train station, so we could be in the downtown district within a 10-15 minutes, but we were far enough away to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's also a stone's throw from the Aviva Stadium, so if someone is attending an event at that venue, Ariel House is within walking distance. The room was beautiful and the complimentary breakfast each morning was delicious. I'm from the US and get the typical "continental" style breakfast, but this was far beyond that. We were able to eat a hot breakfast, have a cup of coffee/tea/juice, and ease into our day. I HIGHLY recommend Ariel House with it's beautiful Victorian Style drawing room and spacious suites.

Our 2-person room was very clean and comfortable, and reception took us in with great hospitality. 24/7 reception was very helpful for plug adapters and even takeaway breakfast for our early departure. The customary breakfast was diverse enough and staff was friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was beautiful and cozy. The staff was welcoming and helpful at every turn. Breakfast was decent. Many other reviews noted the "great" location. I think a better adjective would be "affluent". The location was nice, quiet, and clearly a wealthy residential area, but it was further away from the touristy things than I usually would have chosen. There were hardly any restaurants and 0 pubs within a 30 min walk. It was a 40+ minute walk to all the sites we planned to see- not unbearable, but not as convenient as other places I have previously stayed. We were told there was a bus stop nearby, but if you are like us and prefer to walk, prepare to add extra walking time to your itinerary.

Loved this hotel in Dublin. The rooms were very clean, quiet, and nice- all slightly different in layout and design. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was awesome and in the afternoon you could have coffee, tea, and some cookies in the drawing room. Parking was available. We ended up using Uber to get around because the weather was drizzly and cold. In nicer weather you could walk to Grafton Street. Highly recommend.

We were graciously greeted by the concierge, offered tea or coffee and cake/cookies in the drawing room. He then helped carry our luggage to our room. We wanted a different room and the concierge quickly accommodated our request and once again helped us to our new room. Both rooms were nice but we wanted more of a view. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and very clean. We appreciated the heavy blackout curtains so we could sleep in the next day. Breakfast was wonderful, the service was polite and prompt and the selection was excellent giving us a great start to our day in the city. We found that walking to the National Gallery, Trinity College, Ha’Penny, and shopping was just a 20 minute walk from the hotel. We departed early, before breakfast was to be served but they put together a take-away for us and fresh coffee. The concierge once again helped with the luggage to taxi that he had called for us, right on time. Truly a great stay, looking forward to staying with the Ariel Hotel next time we are in Dublin.
