My single room with private bathroom was super clean, cosy and just perfect for me. It had a lovely green, leafy outlook too as it overlooked the front garden. The staff here are all so friendly, welcoming & helpful, shame I couldn’t stay longer. The little kitchen was an absolute and totally unexpected bonus - completely complimentary food items, which is almost unheard of these days. How very thoughtful indeed.I did not need a parking space but I believe that they have can provide private parking by arrangement. Thanks a million guys for my stay.

We arrived early on a chilly rainy day and were greeted by Marie and Anna. They offered us the sitting room and brought us coffee and tea cake! It was delicious! We left while they prepared the room. When we returned, we were led to a spotless room that was super cozy! Everything was clean and fresh. We enjoyed a wonderful hot shower. We left again to get some dinner and later returned to sleep in the most comfortable bed! We enjoyed coffee every morning. Marie even allowed us to wash some clothes and left the clean dry clothes on our room. It was a great stay!

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

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.)

St. Aidan's guesthouse was an older Inn with so much charm! It was convienently situated close to many bus stops that could take you to the city center in 20-25 minutes. The room was tastefully decorated and had comfortable beds. There is a small, well-stocked kitchen for breakfast - we even bought some items and made supper there one evening. Over our 4 night stay, we met Anna and Emmitt - both of whom were very friendly and extremely friendly.

We were a little concerned when we arrived, rang the dorbell and no one seemed there. The lights were on but it took two rings and a long wait before the host unlocked the door. Then she seemed a bit confused about who we were, when we had made our reservation and actually thought we had checked in already earlier that day. The room was nice, had everything we needed. It was on the third floor of a very tight staircase so caryying luggage up and down was not easy. Location was convenient for groceries. Parking was on the street, but we were given a permit to put in the window. Breakfast items in the group kitchen were nice to have - things like cereal, toast, jelly, etc.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at St. Aiden’s Guest House in Dublin, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality from Anna, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.

The room was immaculate and cozy, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. I truly appreciated the attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness and comfort.

Located in the charming Rathgar neighborhood, the guest house is just a convenient 20-minute bus ride from downtown Dublin, making it easy to explore all the city has to offer. The residential area is beautiful and quiet, offering a peaceful atmosphere, yet there are plenty of great shops nearby to enjoy.

Overall, my experience at St. Aiden’s was delightful, and I look forward to returning on my next visit to Dublin!

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.

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.

Subpar Stay: A Regrettable Visit

After finishing cooking seafood the previous night, the next morning while in my room, I overheard the female staff member, possibly the owner, yelling at the cleaning lady about the fish smell. She said, \"The fish smelled terrible. I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s everywhere. She only stayed for one night.\" The cleaning lady assured her she was already dealing with it. Upon arrival the day before, I was shown around, and the guy mentioned I could use the kitchen for dinner. He also said if I needed anything, I could knock on the staff room door. Throughout my stay, I had to knock on the door for assistance with TV and stove issues, feeling guilty about bothering the owner repeatedly. With no reception desk, the only option was to knock for assistance. I discovered the kitchen was lacking utensils after I bought the seafood. Despite making cooking difficult, I had to cook the seafood I bought. I turned on the range hood, but it didn’t work well. Smoke filled the kitchen, with another guest pan-frying beef. The owner came in with a candle while we were in the kitchen, commenting on the fish smell. As I left my room in the morning, I wondered if I should apologize for the fish smell, but all I could smell was pan-fried beef. The owner's comments made me feel particularly uncomfortable, as if I wasn't welcome and had done something wrong. Overall, this was the worst stay experience I've had while traveling in Ireland.

The property was lovely and warm and welcoming with a nice cup of tea and coffee on arrival. However the Expedia booking clearly states breakfast was included as that is what I put in my search.
It turns out there was a selection of cereals & fruit ,yogurts in a small kitchen with nowhere specific to eat it,so maybe would be better off stating no breakfast on booking.
As I wanted a full breakfast and would have paid more for it.
Our room was lovely,overlooking the garden,all spotlessly clean but unfortunately the next morning the shower was absolutely freezing & no hot water from the tap either. This was a shame as we thought the guest house was beautiful.

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.

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.

We travelled as a couple visiting Dublin from the UK. We loved our stay at St. Aiden's Guesthouse. Our flight was delayed but having contacted the owner they were very understanding when we arrived much later than we planned. The room was clean and comfortable and there was a nice little kitchen help yourself to light breakfast snacks and they have a beautiful communal living room with books and entertainment (if you like 'Talledega Nights' you are in for a treat). The owner was so friendly and chatted to us about our onward travels around Ireland. We took advantage of the bus to and from town which only took 30 minutes or so. We loved our stay at St. Aiden's and wouldn't hesitate to return, it's a perfect, relaxing base from which to explore Dublin.

Liked the location of the old place. Very Victorian vibe. Hostess was helpful and attentive. Didn't like construction underway that was noisy and smelly.

The absolute sweetest host. Greeted us with sweets and coffee after a long day of travel! ♥️ The room itself was also super comfortable, spacious and felt so homely. I will definitely be booking here again when I return. Highly recommend!

It’s very cosy house, well-equipped. Host prepared bread, cereals n drinks for us, where we had our supper n breakfast. Very thoughtful gestures.
Due to the design of the house, we could hear water running down the pipes which can be quite disturbing. The mattress is too soft, which may not be good for seniors.

We loved the overall ambiance of the light-filled sitting room, carefully and beautifully decorated bedroom, and especially the kindness and helpfulness of the owner. She went out of her way to get us a taxi and figure out how to best spend the few hours we had in visiting Dublin.

South of the city quiet cutie

Nice spot south of the city center. Taxis weren’t too keen on coming this distance, but we managed. Cute place. Lovely common sitting room. Hosts were very accommodating. Shower hot water was tricky and unpredictable.

Friend's on a 3 day study trip

Very friendly place and service, good comms via email and telephone in answering my questions as we were a group. Nice quiet room at top of the house which was spacious and clean. had a fridge which was nice and a sitting room overlooking the front garden. we did some homework in there after our course nice open fire as it was a bit wet and cold. Also, there was a small kitchen which we didn't use but was a nice touch. Continental brekky was fab. we went to a lovely Lebanese restaurant about 5 7 mins walk away. and there is an Aldi which meant I had Tonic for my gin !! had a heater in the room which we moved into the bathroom as it got a little chilly. Shower was ok for me,not sure if I hogged the hot water but my roommate found hers was a bit cold. I'd happily stay again

Nice family getaway to Dublin.

The location was close enough to the city and perfect for a family. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us.

The bedroom was spacious and bed was very comfortable. Also, the area is very quiet so we had a full night's sleep. Tea and coffee facilities were most welcome. The self service breakfast meant we didn't have to rush in the morning .

A Home from Home in Dublin

Great choice of Guesthouse as transport into city center was easy to navigate. We were welcomed by Anna who always made sure we had everything we needed. Room was comfy and very clean. Only negative set of drawers in room very difficult to open as seemed wood was warped so really had to pull hard to open/close them. Would recommend and would stay here again Buy a visitor Leap pass which gives you unlimited use of public transport you can buy this at the airport. Different options available depending how long your stay is. Cost €20 for a 72 hr pass so we were able to use the number 16 from the airport which stops at the bottom of the street 5 min walk, to travel into the city take a bus from the top of the road 15, 15a, 15b, 65. On return bus from the city bus stops at the top of the street. House has use of a kitchen for snacks etc and also a good selection of cereal etc for breakfast.

Authentic experience in Dublin

At first the house seemed old and had a specific old wood smell but it turned out to be very comfy. We got a room facing the street and it was incredibly quiet. So quiet that we had to shut off the fridge :)
The room was a bit crammed for 4 people but good enough for sleep. On the first level there is a nicely decorated and comfy common living area.

Cosy B&B too bad continental breakfast

Cosy b&b too bad the breakfast is a tray delivered to the room with no hot food (eggs etc) other than that you have the pros (nice family environment, small but warm room, feels cosy) and the cons (noise insulation might not be the best, welcome to typical irish residential buildings. The area is close to a bus stop which will quickly bring you downtown but its not very lively per se.
