ABC House Dublin

Fabulous place

I found this b&b on the internet and looked up tripadvisor for reviews before booking. I was not disappointed!!! It was fabulous, my room was excellent, spotlessly clean, I stayed 4 days and each day my room was tidied and fresh towels provieded if I needed them. The tea/coffee facilities in the room is a real added bonus. Joseph and Mary were excellent hosts, they gave us lots of information on attractions, places to eat etc. One of their recommendations was a visit to Howth on the north of the city, really well worth doing!!! The house is very quaint and comfortable, we felt very welcome there, a real home from home. Well worth considering if you are visiting Dublin. i have had friends stay there since my visit and they loved it too. Thank you Joseph and Mary.

A great stay !

We really enjoyed our stay at ABC Guesthouse, not far from City Centre , about 10 min by bus, bus stop in front of the house, pubs , restaurants across the house.

The hosts were lovely, the rooms clean and comfortable and the breakfast delicious.

Definetly, we will recommend it to friends.

Disappointed

First things first.... The ABC Guesthouse is not a bad place. I booked our accommodation based on the reviews I read on Trip Advisor, but I have to say I was disappointed and I had a number of concerns.

The hotel is fine, the rooms are clean, Joseph gave us lots of useful information and there are bus stops right outside the hotel, so it is easy to get into town.

However, the room we had was at the front of the hotel and Upper Drumcondra Road is a very busy road. I found the noise far too loud to sleep with a window open; if you're a light sleeper make sure you get a room at the back of the house.

The room we had did have a damp patch, which was not very plesant and did not help my boyfriend's asthma.

The distance from the hotel is about 4kms into town, which makes it a bit too far to walk back at the end of the night if you have done a lot of walking during the day. We were lead to believe by Joseph that it is 1.5kms. There are plenty of buses, but if you buy a bus pass be aware that they aren't valid after 11pm, so it will cost you about 9 euros to get back from town by taxi or 4 euros on the night bus.

Final little niggle was that the breakfast isn't a full Irish - there was no black or white pudding and the portions were not what I would expect from an Irish B & B!

All in all, although the ABC is OK if you are looking for cheap(ish) accommodation, if you are looking for a traditional Irish B & B, I would look elswhere

Great hosts,fab breakfast and no curfew!!!

i would highly recommend the abc guset house at upper drumcondra in dublin ireland.not only was this hotel very cheap but it was very close to dublin city centre and dublin airport,with bus stops right outside the front door and a bus stop on the other side of the road to take you anywhere you wanted to go!!it supplies a full irish breakfast with also choices of cereal and plenty of tea and coffee to have which was also supplied in your room.we went in a group of 4 girls and the bedroom was very big and the beds was extremely comfortable with ensuite bathroom and a t.v in your room.a big plus for us was that the hotel had no curfew which meant we made the most of our weekend stay.this hotel is fabulous for couples,families and also groups of people and they cater for them all!!joseph the owner was very helpul and gave us loads of info on buses and other tourist attractions.the hotel is only a couple of minutes away from shops,traditional irish pubs,restaurants and even tescos!!we had everything to hand and didnt have to go searching for anything.so i would highly recommend this hotel and i will be definitely returning again soon wether it be with my family or again as a group of friends!!thanks very much mary and joseph for your great hospitality!!!see you again real soon.

Recommended

Very nice place. Great people, always smiling. Excellent Irish breakfast, tea&coffee facilities in the room. Definitly recommended!!

Not bad but ...

Not bad for the money, but a few things to say. Nice welcome (but no tea proposed as usually in B&Bs). Room OK, but not a lot of furniture (a table would have been nice in our family room under the roof). And the road outside is quite noisy (wear your ear plugs). Breakfast in average. However, it is clean and well located in Dublin (10 min by bus to city centre).

Great place, excellent value

We would definitely recommend ABC Guesthouse. Hosts were excellent and helpful. Stayed in the family room which had heaps of space.Very clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent. Could not fault it in anyway. Will stay there again in near future. Great value for money.

Great welcome / everything faultless

I stayed in the ABC with my 2 adult daughters on a girlie trip to Dublin. Even though the ABC was closed for the Christmas season they very kindly accommodated us. The welcome we received from Joseph and Dessie was amazing.

The rooms were well decorated and spotless. We had a family room with a double and single bed and a big comfy sofa in the bay window. The beds were made up in fresh, crisp white linen and so comfortable.

The accommodation has a new and modern atmosphere and is very well run. The breakfast was excellent.

The location is ideal for travel to the airport with the bus stop just outside the door. It is also well serviced for travel into the city centre.

We will definately be making a return visit to the ABC and would recommend it 100% to anyone.

Lovely House

Jospeh & Mary were very friendly & helpful. The house was clean & tidy, the rooms though quite basic were clean. Very good value for money.

Would recommend this guesthouse.

ABC Guesthouse B&B, 57 Drumcondra Upper

Joseph and Des provide a very clean and friendly B&B. The prices are wonderful and the beds very comfortable. The breakfasts are wonderful and the diningroom is sunny and warm! We had an excellent stay there and both our hosts were warm, friendly and eager to help in any way.
