Great location and a tasty breakfast are the best things in this B&B. Occational lack of warm water and flushing the toilet 20 times is something you can expect when you travel a lot. Recommendable if you're satisfied with a low cost accommodation for a couple of nights.

Nice location within walking distance of a lot of attractions and good parking at the backside. Old facilities but clean, charming slanted floors which we saw in a lot of the old buildings. Manager was friendly and helpful escorting us to our rooms. Good breakfast with fresh pastry. Would stay here again.

Along South Great George’s Street in the heart of Dublin is the Grafton Guest House. The bed & breakfast is located in a spectacular old building, and the shabby chic rooms, although small, are clean, comfortable and more than affordable. Because of the length of our stay we were offered a noticeable discount on our accommodations, and a fine daily... More

1, The room (mine is single) has next to nothing, and it is ugly. 2, it has no reception or dining room of its own. To check in you have to go to its sister hotel nearby. There's a sign at the entrance, but hear this: it says "2 seconds to the RIGHT, BESIDE Hogan's Pub", in reality, it is... More

I had a late flight into Dublin and checked in very late. The actual guest house doesn't have reception area - check in is done at Kelly's Hotel next door. That said, this was very clearly noted in the reservation notes so it was no surprise. It did take a while to find the hotel, but I was new to... More

I was excited to be going to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day weekend and booked the Grafton Guesthouse on a recommendation from a friend. While the staff were exceptionally nice, as most are in Ireland, the room itself left much to be desired. I would like to preface this by saying that they did say they had renovations going on...

I stayed here for a long weekend. I'd read the website and also previous reviews here so no surprise at having to check in at Kellys, rather than at the guest house itself. The room was small and basic. Good points: - friendly staff - breakfast was nice - very convenient, central location However, the hotel is VERY noisy due... More

I liked it, it met my needs completely. Room was small, but clean and comfortable. Wifi access good, breakfast buffet was filling and of good quality. No elevator, but staff gave me room with just up one flight of stairs on request. Excellent central location, could walk to almost everywhere I was interested in. I would book there again. No...

Briefly, the mattresses were thin and unevenly supported (I tried a second room with the same mattress issue). The bathroom was as in the picture another traveler had posted--needing caulking and paint. The bedroom looked run down as well. Everything looked old and not maintained. The only saving grace was the wallpaper on one wall and the cute lamp, but... More
