In terms of value and location, this hotel is wonderful. The staff were lovely. The room and common areas were clean. Noise from outside was not an issue for room 301. My two issues were temperature-related. The bedding is quite heavy and hot. A table top fan is provided but it wasn’t quite enough for me. And then the water never truly got hot, only lukewarm. One morning of my stay, there was no hot water available.

Beautiful property. Room smallish but nicely decorated. Included a small table, two chairs, a make up tabe and tea/coffee service.

The people at the desk were wonderful! They were at the ready with information about where to get food where to catch the bus to the airport.

The location is great. It is walking distance to Museums and shopping. There are restaurants on Chatham St, one short block away. The 783 Dublin Express, to and from the airport, is a short walk (5 min).

The breakfast is much better than the words \"continental breakfast\" would imply. On our visit, breakfast included bread, croissants, little danish, various cheeses, ham and coffee (or tea). It is definitely worth the price.

Had a great time staying here! Great if you’re planning to walk or bus since everything is so close. I will say they do close and lock the door past a certain point in the night which we were not informed about prior. You will have to ring the bell to have someone let you back in. That being said I would come back to stay again.

Stayed one night in a king suite. Although very large and clean, it was quite dated, old carpet, very old uncomfortable couch and chairs. Bed was not a king, but a queen and a single in same room. Shower temperature fluctuated hot and cold. Wifi was not good and tv did not have bluetooth for wireless display. It is in a very nice area close to everything, but we were disappointed with our room.

The room was nice but we had the room 511 and it was just me and my mom who can’t lift heavy stuff so having to navigate all the luggage down the set of stairs and back up after getting off the elevator was a bit inconvenient. Thankfully there was a gentleman there upon our arrival who was cleaning the stairs and helped us. When we left I had to take two trips to get our luggage down so my mom wouldn’t struggle with lifting.

I had a lovely bedroom in the basement at the back of the property. Silent. The downside for my friends upstairs at the front of the property was being kept awake until 3.00 am by revellers in bars opposite. Book a room “ with no view”.

Stay was good, wish it was great.

Top two things I care about for a stay— cleanliness and safety. The place was very safe. The cleanliness was pretty good. Older building, so there’s that. I would have given this place more stars but we had a room that was toward the street and it was noisy at night. They offered to move us to a back room but it didn’t have the right bed situation. The staff was amazing though and the breakfast was delish.

It was alright. Clean common spaces and room. However, it got noisy on the street Saturday and a bit less on Sunday night. The room had bad light wiring and we couldn't turn turn the main light without turning off as well the reading lights. The matter gave us a bit of a stiff back. For those reasons I would say it is average. Not bad, not perfect. Cheap for the overall location and that was the main reason we booked it. Forgot to mention it is close to Airport express bus.

Nice hotel, great location

Really great location, perfect for exploring the city. The room was very big and clean and had everything I needed. My only comment would be that there wasn't any secure place to store my luggage on my final day (after I'd checked out). The Dublin Express bus stop to/from the airport is also just around the corner which was really convenient

Wouldn’t come back

This hotel was cold, the street outside was loud, there were very few amenities, there was no lift so we walked 5 stories to our room. The bathroom had a shower only and the shower leaked water onto the floor. The sink was cracked. This was a poor stay and would not recommend. It was more like a hostel with a private bath.

Lovely old building, in a wonderful location. Rooms in back of hotel very small, and most appropriate for a single, but quiet. Front rooms are airy and have wonderful access to daylight. The 3-4 nightclubs across the street make for a noisy, rousing evening (especially if sports events are in play) so bring your noise canceling earphones! Very nice and helpful staff.

This was our final stop on our Ireland vacation. The room was fantastic! I love the old historical building, the location and the staff were great! The only thing that was not so good was across the street there was a club. People were outside smoking what smelled like something other than marijuana. The music was loud and woke us up during the night. Thank goodness we were on the 2nd floor. There are not any elevators which gave us a good workout lugging our bags up the stairs but it wasn't terrible.
Breakfast is a continental breakfast not a full breakfast.
Dublin is a very walkable city so this location was perfect for the points of interest we were visiting. I would highly recommend this hotel!!

Bit disappointed

Albany House is on a nice street in Dublin not far from visitor attractions. Bedrooms are lovely although smaller than pics, there is no drawer space in the rooms. The room gets very warm at night, fan provided. Couldn’t open the window which there are 2 of. Inside one opens but other never so no fresh air coming into room.
Bathroom is lovely and the towels are fluffy and a decent size!! Don’t see the point in the 2 chairs as take up room. Hotels.com advertise there is a safe in the room, there is NOT. No single safes downstairs either just a safe at reception should you choose to use it. Had we known this we would NOT have booked the hotel, the reason we booked this hotel was it stated there was a safe in room which we look for when travelling. The hallways are dated compared to rooms and could be updated. We were in room 507 which is 80 stairs up on the 4th floor so if you’re not feeling energetic best ask for room on lower floor as there are no lifts.
There is no luggage room either and bags are stored in reception at window area. The staff are pleasant however you cannot tell staff from guests as no set uniform apart from being black and white some wear leggings and T-shirt.
Breakfast is ok. Continental, cereals, breads, fruit,pastries, cheese, ham and you are offered toast.
Plenty places to eat round about.
The Dublin express bus from airport stops 5-10mins round corner from hotel which is ideal. A return ticket is around €18ppand no set return date.

Beautiful five story row house that has gone through some times and changes and is now a relatively affordable hotel in Dublin, within walking distance to the touristy things.

Great location and right on the tram route. Walk to St Steven’s Park and Grafton St. Room was small, but not surprising given that it is an old downtown hotel. But the room was very nice and the bathroom was great. Updated with a walk-in shower and good counter space. The breakfast room was great. Fresh coffee, breads, fruit etc. The best part of breakfast is the attention that Michael and staff offer the guests. Downside was there’s no lobby or real seating area to just relax and hangout to read a book. There is also a nightclub across the street that gets kind of loud. So get a room towards to back of the hotel if you can. I’d stay again.

Beautiful B&B in a historic home, very nicely updated rooms, comfortable bed. Best part was the hosts, David and Chris, who really helped us out with an issue we had (totally unrelated to our stay with them), and who gave great advice on what to see and how to get there. The breakfasts were fantastic, with nice options and a portable option for the day we left before breakfast. We stayed in several bed and breakfasts during our visit to Ireland and Wales, and this one was the best. One word of advice to close out this review: staying in a B&B in a restored, historic home generally means the rooms are modestly sized. There is only so much the owner can do to provide en suite private bathrooms for each bedroom in an old stone building. If you want a large room, you're most likely going to have to be flexible about where you stay and how much you pay.

Our stay at Albany House was great. We love being able to support a local/family owned hotel and this one was lovely.

The room was small but well equipped with a kettle, tea, coffee. The bed was comfortable and we slept great, without noise issues.

Terrific location, walkable but we found it quiet (backside window). Lovely room as shown in photos. Comfortable bed and good daily room service. Downside was we were on the 5th floor and there is no elevator! A deal breaker for some. Also there is no air conditioning and it was extremely hot in our room especially on the first couple nights of our stay. Luckily there was a small fan in the room.

The hotel is very nice and clean, the staff is very helpful. The location of coming by train is honestly a half hour walk from either one. Our room was located on the bottom floor, it was very muggy down there. We had a fan in the room which helped but with us being on the ground floor you didn't want to leave your window open when you left or went to sleep. The lack of air flow in the room made the stay not very comfortable. After a shower the room was just not very suitable.
