My room at Donnybrook Hall had a very comfortable bed and modern bathroom, kept very clean by staff. They were great at communicating, and the neighborhood was pretty, peaceful and safe. Very easy to get to central Dublin with transit close by. I highly recommend it for a place to stay in Dublin.

PROs: Good location, clean room, friendly staff, and the newly renovated bathroom was very nice. CONs: In level 1 room you can hear the floor above walking around (light thumping), room has a bit of a damp smell to it, and using the electronic lock on the doors was finicky and frustrating a couple times. Overall a good spot and would recommend/revisit.

Great, quiet place. A few grocery and necessity shops around the corner. Although not ideal for long term stay as no microwaves and fridges.

The property and the staff were lovely. The room,number 4 was terribly small for two people. It was more suited for one person. Overall,it was a pleasant experience and the location is close to bus lines that service the city center.

One night in Dublin

Clean and well maintained, in a excellent location if going to the RDS or Aviva, and about a 30 minute walk to the city centre. Perfect if you just need a place to sleep after a night out in Dublin.

Excellent guesthouse

Thanks so much to Terry and his staff. They made my stay at Donnybrook Hall very comfortable. It is a lovely property, out of the way of the noise of the city but close enough to walk to the centre and still experience Dublin!

3 nights.

Three night stay. Situated on a quiet, mostly one way road. Not as grand as name suggests, end- of- terrace with extension. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking is a single space in front of extension. Bed comfy, shower good, plenty of hot water.

A great stay at Donnybrook Hall

An excellent stay, friendly staff and comfortable room. The hosts greeted me at check-in and served coffee. The hotel is a few miles outside center but has great bus service, also convenient for Bray. I loved my room a nice little annex overlooking the garden. Lots of nice shops and restaurants nearby and a clean and safe area. Thanks for making my stay great Donnybrook Hall I hope to return again.

A brilliant discovery, worth coming back to

Lovely, extremely clean, wonderful friendly proprietors, in a safe and convenient location. My garden room was gorgeous - made me wish I'd booked to stay longer than just one night. Everything was A+. Pro-tip - do take the recommendations for where to go and what to do in Dublin - everything they suggested to me was spot-on perfect.

Hotel was central to shops bars an restaurants. Quiet area at night. Buses to centre Dublin few minutes walk. Close to both the rds and the aviva for events and rugby matches. No meals including breakfast but no problems regarding that. Room was spacious and clean, bed super comfy. Host and staff warm an friendly. Definitely recommend staying at donnybrook Hall.

A Gem in Rough Sand

Staying at Donnybrook Hall was quite a treat. The owners Debbie and Terry are lovely people, and Martina (staff) was very friendly. The rooms are especially clean, and the bedding is super warm with an extra thick comforter. My room comes with an armoire, electric tea kettle, cup and saucer, and hair dryers; you can request one with a desk if need be. The area is also very safe. If one must walk around Dublin at night, here is your neighborhood. There are also tea shops and a few grocery stores within a very short walking distance. The city centre is right up R138. You can walk there in about 20 minutes. It may be shallow, but one of my favorite things about my stay is the state of the art bathroom and shower. Seriously, marble tiling—YAAS! If you need a place to stay in Dublin, Donnybrook Hall is the place to be.
