Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms — Most rooms use shared bathroom facilities, which some guests noted can be busy at peak times.
  • On the outskirts, not central — The guesthouse is outside the immediate city centre, requiring a bus or taxi ride (around 30 minutes) to reach the main sights.
  • No air conditioning — There's no air conditioning listed, which may be a consideration for some guests, though Dublin's climate is generally mild.
  • Seasonal hot tub only — One review mentions a hot tub available only in March or September, so it's not guaranteed year-round.
