Charleville Lodge - Dublin

Our stay in the hotel was really nice. Spacious room, staff helpful, very nice location - 20 min walk to O`Connell St. My only comment for improvement is the wireless internet, it is really difficult to connect and the signal fails every 5 minutes.

Close to Mater hospital Excellent for parking.

Good value for money and the cost of breakfast seemed comparable to that offered by other establishments, although my friend and I chose not to have the hotel breakfast, as the times were a little early for us. Therefore, I cannot comment as to the quality. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were also very disappointed not to have tea & coffee making facilities in the room although this may have been because a vending machine had been provided. Unfortunately, the tea from the vending machine was not very good. It looked like frothy coffee but tasted like neither coffee nor tea. We found no lifts at this hotel, so people who like/need these, please be warned. About 15-20 minutes’ easy walk into the centre of town but if preferring not to walk, the buses are fairly frequent and good value. Our room was smaller than the picture on the internet suggested but the décor was just the same. Also located within about 25 minutes from the airport. The regular buses are far cheaper than the shuttle buses and one ticket is valid for 90 minutes’ use. The journey to Charleville Lodge cost just €2.50. Overall, this was a good base for us and we would definitely consider staying here again.

Getting to downtown (O'Connel) is much quicker via Berkley Street (cross Dorset and go on to Frederick) than the long way around of main streets, making it a 20-minute journey. Sweet cafe on the corner of Parnell/Frederick for the wet and hungry, and its next to the Writers Museum and Garden of Rememberance.

Good quality for this price. If you don't looking for 4 stars hotel this one is good choice. Nothing spectacular but clean with very helpful staff and good atmosphere. Recomend it for young people (quiet and much clean than hostels). Good city location, just minutes to walk to town center.

Cheap, clean, and conveniently located - abt 10 min by bus from the center of Dublin, bus stop - another side of the street. Good parking. For Russian travelers - reception lady is the native Russian. Just one minus - the perpendicular staircase on the entrance - not easy when you have big luggage.

Neat little place to crash for a few days, at a resonable price. The rooms are not new, but they are kept very clean and maintained. The rooms in the back are quiet, albeit the rooms close to the reception are a bit noisy. The staff was helpful and nice. Walking distance is about 25-30 minutes from the city centre, but there are bus stops outside that get you there in under 10 minutes. Overall, great value for money.

I would rate the value higher than 10 if I could--we loved it!

We reserved 2 rooms: a triple which faced the front street was very noisy and small. The second room was a double and faced the back. It was more quiet. I would not book the triple room again as with the window closed the street noise was still very loud. Breakfast was good and convenient. Front desk guy gave us incorrect info about the bus route and where to catch it. Not too bad to walk downtown: 20-30 minutes.

I had a really nice time in Dublin and this B&B was a fantastic place to stay. It's not located in the city centre, but there's a bus stop just in front of the B&B and you can be in town in 15m. Nice staff, clean, quiet and great value for money. Me lo pasé fenomenal en Dublín y fue una decisión acertada alojarme en este B&B. Limpio, el personal muy amable, sin ruido... Hay que tomar un bus para ir al centro, pero sólo se tarda 15m. Además nada caro. ¡PERFECTO!

Considering the price of the hotel - it's great value for money. We enjoyed the stay a lot, the staff very helpful and friendly. The only drawback I can think of was the shower - difficult to regulate. I'd definitely come back :)

Excellent place, we really loved it. the area was "ok" but we even walked to downtown (which took about 20 mins); but there is also a bus stop righ in front of teh lodge. we had breakfast and it was plenty. we just did not care too much about the Irish breakfast foods (-: but had to try it.

Location is ok for getting into the centre by bus, walking is a bit far (at least 30 mts., i f not more!) . Free parking is a great help. Bus fare into center is just 1.15 Euro. The breakfast continental is ok for 5 Euro(rather scarce), the full irish is better (but 9 Euros). Rooms are smallish but very clean, TV is not really sufficient as to number of offered programs. Water could be warmer. The rooms to the back are indeed very quite, thanks for the advice on that. Coffe and tea are free during the morning and there is free internet access. The location is very typical of Dublin. We liked it very much.

Worth the 10 minute bus ride to the centre of town for the quality and price of the hotel.

Nice, clean but small room. Very friendly staff.

The listing claims to be a five minute walk from the center of Dublin. This is not the case. Beside that this was a great value.

This was our first trip to Dublin and to Ireland. We stayed at the Charleville Lodge on the night of our arrival and for three nights before our departure. We found the Charleville Lodge to be very accessible, walking to the Lodge upon our arrival with our luggage from Heuston Station which we reached by express bus from the airport and "taxi-ing" (at a reasonable cost - 20 Euros) to the airport to catch an early morning flight upon our departure. We found the Lodge to be affordable and clean with a welcoming staff. We stayed in both a front and back room and found the back room to be quieter. The delicious and hearty breakfasts were served in an attractive dining room by pleasant staff. Although the Lodge is a bit off the beaten path, we were able to walk to the centre of Dublin and the tourist centre within 20 to 25 minutes. I would definitely recommend the Charleville Lodge to anyone travelling to Dublin on a budget.

We were very happy with our three day stay in the Charleville Lodge as it was affordable, clean and, on the back side in particular (we had both a front and a back room), very quiet. The staff were friendly, competent and more than willing to answer any questions that we had. The breakfasts were good and hearty. Although it is a bit out of the way, it is within easy walking distance of central Dublin and the main tourist attractions. Actually, if you are not loaded down with luggage and are in relatively good shape, it is also within walking distance of Heuston Station. I would definitely recommend this accomodation to anyone looking for clean, quiet and affordable lodging in Dublin.

I stayed with my Mom two times at the Charleville Lodge and both stays were excellent. Their service was fantastic and they went above and beyond to give us a very early breakfast before we left for the airport. It's a little out-of-the-way but the nice rooms, free internet, and service makes it worth the extra bus ride to get there. I'll stay there again on my next visit to Dublin.

A nice establishment, located in the northern part of Dublin. Walk to center lasts about 45 minutes. Three bus lines provides services to city center and back. Line 10 station to downtown is opposite the hotel and the return station is 20 meters before the hotel. Bus lines 121 and 122 are located about a 3 minutes walk. The hotel also provides free parking for cars. Staff very friendly and helpfull.

Great B&B, but the location was not walkable to centre of the city, although the website information indicated this was possible. However the city centre was only one bus away and transportation was good.

Breakfast was great. The room was clean and spacious--perfect for our needs. Decor was more updated than the pictures on the website.

It is the perfect deal for a good hotel with a very good traditional Irish breakfast and everything at a good price! It is not too far from the city centre and you can get there in ten minutes by bus and if you go out, you can even walk there, it should take around 25 - 30 minutes. If you're not brave, take a cab, it is 8 euros by night, pretty good. I would advise you to go there without any hesitation!

A great B&B out of the way of the main tourist throng, but within walking distance to all of Dublin's main attractions. I would definitely stay here again. Very comfy beds too!

Yes the overall cleanliness and tidyness of inside and outside the building.

Standard price is too high compared with the quality of accommodation, Venere's price is just fine. Location-wise, it's not so far from the city centre, if you're a good walker.

Wir waren Gäste dieser kleinen aber feinen Unterkunft. Mit einem Buss ist man sehr schnell für 1.05 € in der ersten großen Einkaufsmeile angekommen. Andere Dinge haben wir nicht mit dem Bus erkundet, da wir uns ab dem 2. Tag ein Auto gemietet hatten. Die Zimmer sind ebenfalls klein aber fein :) besonders im Bett konnte man gut einschlafen. Auch die Sanitärenanlagen waren top.

Nice city hotel with very friendly staff! 10-15 minutes walk to O'Connell St.

An interesting vacation. dublin is amusing, nice and a very loving city. a good and pleasant hotel

We were in room nr 10, this is a very small room, and you can hear any noise at the reception! so also the telephone early in the morning, or the bell at the front door in the middle of the night... That was the only negative, the rest was very good!!

El hotel esta bien, eso si, hay que pedir habitación de las grandes. Nosotros estuvimos en una que era enana, el baño era ridículo y a nuestros amigos les dieron una en la otra parte del hotel que era muy amplia y muy bonita. La localización esta bien, a unos 15 minutos del centro andando y tienes un bus en la mismisima puerta del hotel. El staff es muy agradable, el salón es muy acogedor, se agradece que tengan internet gratuito y la maquinita de café y te gratis, para cuando volvias por la noche quedarte un rato de cháchara tomando un te en el saloncito. El desayuno era abundante, las tostadas y el café muy buenos,los cereales,los huevos estupendos, pero lo demás era puro colesterol( bacon, salchichas, morcilla....Pero vamos, en general, bien. Yo si lo recomendaría, pero nunca pagaria mas de 100€ por habitación.

This was a beautiful place to stay with the most comfortable beds, the room was very clean and the entire building was lovely, the breakfast was fantastic and the people were lovely

Mold in one of the bathrooms; otherwise clean

This guest house is a little out of the center of the city, but within fairly easy walking distance or a short bus ride of the center. Since we had fairly good weather for our stay, we never needed to take the bus. If you appreciate a quiet night's sleep, the location in a residential neighborhood is a definite plus. The breakfasts are extraordinary -- enough food for the entire day, really, although if you don't feel like that much you can just order eggs or cereal.

1. time in Dublin. In a distance to the center, but centret could be reach in half an hour. Carleville Lodge have good facilities for mature travelers.

It was all good. Sometimes the upper floor is noisy probably because it's wood. The staff was very very nice and available with us.

The hotel is 2 km to the center, but is possible to reach it by foot without problem the double room is a bit small, but is clean good the full irish breakfast starting from 8 in the morning

The Charleville Lodge was clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for convenience to Dublin city centre within a reasonable price range

Breakfast shouldn't be only english but continental

The Charleville Lodge is overall really nice, although it is quite far from the center of Dublin (over 30mn by walking). The rooms are really nice and the surroundings are quiet. It has been nice to stay there.

This is a gem of a hotel just outside of Dublin. It's only a little more expensive than a hostel and probably 10 times as nice. Honestly, you can't beat this place! The receptionists are the nicest people on the continent and possibly the most helpful. And with free internet access, 24-hour tea, and free breakfast, where else would you stay when visiting Dublin?
