The rooms were cozy and well appointed. The staff, especially the bartender, were so friendly. The only negative was a bad smell coming from the bathroom toilet drain. It dissipated somewhat after our first shower.

We loved the location and the fact that we felt at home. We liked the staff in the kitchen and the housekeeping staff as well We most liked Dave. He was amazing. He went out of his way to help us out. He gave us things to make our trip more fun, he told us stories, he gave us directions and recommendations. So we were very upset to arrive back a couple days later to find the owner had fired him and much of the other staff, simply due to a disagreement. The place just didn't feel as alive or as fun after Dave was gone.

Short break
Great place to stay, room was clean with everything you need for your stay. Good location, easy to walk to all the places in Dublin, close to transport if you want it.Very friendly and welcoming staff, breakfast keeps you going all day! It is on the main road so traffic and trams pass so can be noisy from early in the morning.

The room was lovely and location great. We could walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Breakfast was good, and staff friendly. Only thing to note is that it is above a pub and on a road. It was quiet when we went as it was a Monday & Tuesday night so the pub closed at 8pm. I can imagine it could be a little noisy if it was open. Great value for money though, with dressing gowns and coffee machine in room.

Surpirse in Smithfield
It looks like McGettigans have followed the trend and totally refurbished some letting rooms. The one I stayed in was great. Very smartly furnished, a little unconventional, but in a pleasant way. A welcoming bottle of beer and water and tea tray. Not much room to work in if you are a business traveller. Despite the location, right next to the Luas (tram) track, the room was well insulated and the noise didn't bother me. Breakfast was included, served from 8.30am. Since I was on business I was out and in the office before brekkie was being served! so I can't review the food. Minor issue with a rain water leak in the drain pipes. Flooded the bathroom - just after I used the shower. Teething problems no doubt with the new refurb. Location was great, 2 minute walk to the Smithfield Luas stop.

Great place to stay
Lovely stay, very welcoming. The first night was very noisy, however the next night we had a play around with the window and realised it hadn't been closed properly! After that it was perfect. Generous breakfast and a great location. Very clean and a great sized room.

Like the location above the pub, the room itself was extremely cute, however the bed was way to noise and the actress felt old and uncomfortable. It was an easy walk around the city. It was overall a good experience, however we might not stay there again if we go back to Ireland.

We stayed for one night and can not fault all the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. The tram is virtually outside the door with excellent links to centre, main station and 3Arena. The rooms are boutique with everything needed for a short stay. Do remember it is above a pub and noise can travel but all quiet after midnight. The breakfast is spot on. Recommended 😁

McGettigan’s Townhouse was a great find. The townhouse had newly renovated rooms. The room was comfortable with a nice view of the city from the window. The owner/manager was very nice. The food served in McGettigan’s Lounge was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed walking around the area. It was a great visit.

Cozy and luxurious near Heuston Train Station
I got in late but was greeted warmly. My room was small but lovely with bath robes and wonderful high quality bedding and linens as well as complimentary stout and bottled water. There was some street noise, and the neighborhood was not the best. The breakfast was amazing with eggs to order and some of the best grilled mushrooms and toasted bread I have ever had. I opted to walk (20 minutes) to catch my train but the Luas (tram) was just up the street.

Perfetto
Bellissimo B&B sopra un pub in vero stile irlandese. Le camere sono curate nei dettagli, sono accoglienti con luce soffusa a complemento dell'arredo rustico e vintage. Il letto soffice era comodissimo. Personale simpatico e disponibile. Anche la colazione servita giù al pub era molto buona ricca e piena dei sapori irish. Infine la posizione è comoda per visitare tutto il centro di Dublino partendo dalla Jamson distillery!

We really enjoyed this hotel. The staff was very kind and attentive to our needs from the moment we arrived until we left. The room named "Martin" was small but very clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. It was very pleasant to spend time there. We would definitely recommend this hotel, which is also well located.
