Stayed here recently while visiting a family member in St James Hospital. The only good thing about this place is its close proximity to the hospital.The room was poky and dusty. The television did not work and when I brought this to the attention of the landlady she said "It worked yesterday" and told me that I should read for... More

I stayed here while I was working in the area. It offers what you expect from a B&B and more. The landlady and landlord are extremely nice. They couldn't do enough for me from giving me directions to pointing out the local hot spots. It is located in a quiet, residential area with great transport links. There is a bus... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights and found the place to be very clean amd comfortable. The rooms had a warm homely feel to them. The highlight of this B&B are the people who run it who are extremely helpful and friendly and make you feel right at home. The breakfast was good and substantial. Everything we needed... More

Pro: Very nice and friendly owner. Tasty and filling breakfast. Very quiet - great if you'd like to actually sleep at night. Clean (but far from spotless). The owner let us borrow umbrellas and arranged a taxi for us. Tasteful decorations. Contra: We've waited for 20 minutes in the rain before the owner came at check-in. Faint smell of moisture... More

This bed and breakfast is pretty decent considering it's in Dublin. The price is fair enough as well because it is similar to many other bed and breakfasts in the rest of the country. The breakfast was adequate and the lady who runs the place is nice and informative.

I visited Dublin this weekend from Cork. I needed to be close to St James Hospital. I booked into Portland House and had an overall very pleasant experience. Being very tired on arrival I wanted to sleep. The room was warm and comfortable. We had a great sleep. Refreshed the next morning we ate an excellent breakfast and got to... More

As we entered the house Mairead, the owner, welcomed us with a smile, gave a few tips about the city and showed us the room. she told us... More

My 25 year old daughter and I traveled to Dublin and due to the big football match had trouble finding a place to stay. Everything was full. Portland House is out by the Kilmainham Jail so not too close to the city. Our room was an adequate size, but we were never offered tea, use of a sitting room, Wi... More
