7.6Verified guest“An ideal base for exploring a lovely neighbourhood, with a short walk to a nearby café, central Dublin, and the south suburbs. I've stayed here before – always cheap and compact rooms. The private bathroom was a bonus, and the staff were fantastic. Great location, medium distance from Rathfarnham Castle, and the place was beautiful – no complaints at all.”
