I usually book outside of Dublin because I could never find anything that was a good value and not super expensive. My friend stumbled upon this quite by accident and, based on the cost and location, both of us were worried that it was “too good to be true”. It was absolutely perfect! Such a charming place! Very clean, comfortable, quiet location. My room was absolutely charming. My hosts were all accommodating and so nice. I am still here at this writing. I decided to stay two nights. For future visits to Dublin, I plan to arrange my trip around availability at Donny Hall.

This is a fabulous place! Terry, the owner was great! Martina was helpful and gave lots of information about the neighborhood and places to eat. The bus stop is a quick 3 min walk from the house. The bed was comfy, and the room was lovely. It was quiet and peaceful. They went above and beyond to be great hosts.

My experience at Donnybrook Hall was wonderful! My double room was more than adequate with an updated private bathroom. Enough hangers in wardrobe for my 8 night stay. Comfy bed, warm room (with the nice option to crack open a window) for my December stay. TV also included music channels, which was nice, Coffee/tea/biscuit/choc croissant in room daily. The staff was hospitable from checkin to my departure, Encountered a friendly face to ask about needing help every morning and night. Daily housekeeping was reliable and trustworthy. Defiantly a family operation! The neighborhood is great. There is a row of shops that include an upscale market, a bakery/coffee shop, Tesco, a pub with a restaurant and another restaurant. A fast food place serving really good fish and chips is open late along with another fast food place. There is a bus stop near the hotel, city center is about a 20 min ride by bus. I used taxis (easy pickup area in front of hotel) and safely walked into town many times. A taxi to temple bar was about 15-20 euros, a 50 min walk. This is a good option for a nice, quiet stay. A great value for the room and resourcefulness of the staff. Would defiantly recommend and revisit Donnybrook Hall!

My only regret is that we didn’t stay here longer! The location is perfect, the accommodation is lovely, clean, new, comfortably welcoming... perfect! We had two rooms in the back off of the sun room/ dining room and they were charming. Our host was so nice and we were able to meet her dad the next morning on our way out. The neighborhood is fantastic, there are a few restaurants/pubs and shops within walking distance and a bus if you wish to go to City Center instead of the 15 minute walk. I can’t wait to visit here again, in 2020!! ***UPDATE well we all know what happened in 2020 hence we finally made it back in 2023. This time we were able to stay for 3 nights and I’m so glad we did!! We attended events at Energia Park and Aviva Stadium which we both an easy walk from Donnybrook Hall. We walked into City Center, it was maybe 25-30 minute walk. Leaving City Center we took the DART from Tara and Pearse stations to the Landsdowne Rd station which is about a 10-15 minute walk from Donnybrook Hall. Nothing has changed, still the perfect location and the hospitality is superb. I honestly can’t wait to come back and stay here again!
Response from Property: Hi Kimberly and Patrick, Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to welcome you both back to Donnybrook Hall, were delighted you enjoyed our hospitality and it’s always a big compliment to welcome guests back to stay with us again. We look forward to your third visit. Very best wishes Debbie

It is the most amazing place I have stayed in Dublin (I am frequent traveler due to my business). The room was roomy with all amenities you will ever need and it has been cleaned perfectly every single day. Bed was super comfortable. If you are looking for a stay in Dublin, look no more as your found your place to stay.

The location is ideal - the airport coach stops at the end of the road, although I chose to travel by local bus and use my Visitor Leap Card (a great bargain, if you are travelling around Dublin). Buses into the city centre are very frequent, although it's also a pleasant walk and Donnybrook itself is a pleasant area. The room was comfortable and spotless, looking out over a quiet road. Tina and Terry were friendly and very helpful. They took the Covid requirements seriously, although restrictions have now largely lifted. The only pity was that breakfasts are currently not available because of the pandemic. However, there are tea and coffee making facilities in the room and a Tesco Express 2 minutes away, as well as plenty of cafes nearby. And the cost of the stay was very reasonable for Dublin. I would come back like a shot and recommend it highly!

Extremely well run and friendly hotel in Donnybrook, I was impressed with the location, the room, the welcome greeting and the goodbye chat with the owner. I was attending an Expo at the RDS and it was a very pleasant 15 minute walk away, through Herbert Park.. On arrival, the young lady sat in the lounge with me, made me a cup of tea and went through the local spots and places to see and to go to eat. I don’t think I have ever had such a friendly greeting ! I spent a pleasant evening in Donnybrook and had a peaceful night’s sleep in my lovely comfortable room (see video). In the morning as I was leaving, Terry the owner asked after my sleep and a nice chat ensued before I strolled to the Aircoach stop a few minutes away. Great experience
Response from Property: We would like to thank you for the review you left us. Glad you got to explore the area plenty as well.

Admittedly, I was skeptical; the accommodation seemed far away from the city center. But far from it. Donnybrook Hall is very accessible to the public, even late in the evening. However, if you follow the staff's tips, you should head towards Leeson Street. There is one of Dublin's most beautiful parks: Saint Stephen Green Park. The welcome was warm, even if I had to get used to the Irish accent of the English language. All employees are extremely competent and friendly. I got several great tips. Luckily for me, I followed all the advice. The rooms are typical British standards, small and very cute. Comfortable beds and of course non-smoking rooms. There are enough sockets available. The bathrooms are absolutely amazing: I've planned a lot of bathrooms myself, but I couldn't have planned it better. Shower cubicles of the highest quality, just like the fittings, the only thing I keep seeing in English-speaking countries are the toilets with attached cisterns. Due to the structure of the building and the thin walls, flush-mounted installation would only have been possible with front-wall installation. In the shower you will find a thermostat and not a single lever mixer like in most hotels. The structure of the house is good and, in keeping with the island style, it looks British-Irish from the outside. The same applies to the immediate surroundings. The yellow front door surprised me a little at first, but now I think it looks great. Unfortunately, I didn't book breakfast based on the reviews. You get a front door key and don't have to ring the bell for long. Planning to come to Dublin with a tour group next year. Preferably to Donnybrook Hall.

Donnybrook Hall foi uma das pequenas surpresas positivas que tive em Dublin. Apesar de ficar um pouquinho afastado da área central da cidade, ele está localizado em um dos bairros mais bonitos e seguros da região, sendo ótimo para passear a pé em qualquer momento do dia, com bastante área verde, cafés, pubs e restaurantes ao redor. O Hotel é claramente um negócio pequeno, provavelmente gerenciado por uma família - e isso é ótimo! Você sente o cuidado nos pequenos detalhes, desde a ótima recepção por todos os que estão ali, até na limpeza e decoração. Os meus 3 dias lá foram como se eu estivesse em uma segunda casa. O quarto em si era pequeno, mas tinha tudo o que eu precisava para descansar. A cama era espaçosa e muito confortável, com ótimos travesseiros. Vale ressaltar as comidinhas que deixaram para mim - tudo simples, mas muito gostoso! Eu dormi muito bem todos os dias, já que tudo é muito silencioso. Há somente duas ressalvas que valem ser feitas, que não foram um problema para mim, mas que podem ser importantes para outras pessoas: é preciso se atentar ao quarto escolhido. Eu tinha acesso a um banheiro particular, mas ele ficava separado do quarto, então eu precisava descer um lance de escadas e destrancar uma porta (com uma chave que só eu tinha) para acessá-lo. Não é um grande problema, mas isso significa ter que ficar carregando roupas e produtos de limpeza para cima e para baixo, além de ter a chance de cruzar com outras pessoas usando pijama. Também acredito pontuar que, dependendo do quarto, você pode ter que subir alguns lances de escada, possivelmente carregando malas. A equipe do hotel se dispõe a ajudar, mas uma pessoa com deficiência pode ter dificuldade. Apesar dos pontos levantados, eu acredito que esse é um hotel perfeito para alguém jovem, que quer um lugar confortável e limpo para descansar, sem estar procurando por luxo. Se um dia eu voltar para Dublin, com certeza voltarei lá!
