A 4 star B&B at budget rates - what great value for money.
Review of Almara B&B, Dublin by
whelan1
Advantages: High standards and facilities. Friendly and very helpful with information - guides and maps free
Disadvantages: None
Almara B&B Dublin is located on a quiet leafy avenue exactly halfway between Dublin Airport and Dublin City Centre. It takes about 10 minutes by bus to go to either. It has been a B&B for 20 years so the Guest Book makes for interesting reading - some fam ...

Me and my girlfriend were planning a trip a couple years ago to Dublin so straight away I was looking for hotels all around the Dublin area. I didn't want to pay over the odds so obviously I used price comparison websites and this hotel caught my eye more ...

Kilmainham Gaol - A haunting building with haunting tales
Review of Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin by
julwhite
Advantages: Fascinating building and history
Disadvantages: Tours can be quite a large
The tour guide at Kilmainham Gaol reminded us that this was an historic site of national importance, both in terms of the building and prison reform, and in terms of the people who were imprisoned here. She was right, it was a haunting building, with haun ...

Bang, bang bang on the glass......
Review of Dublin Zoo, Dublin by
Emma1973
Advantages: Clean and tidy, new enclosures being built for the animals
Disadvantages: Would like some more information about the animals, some pens not appropriate
I’ve supped a pint at the peak of the Guinness Topper, crawled around the crypts of Christchurch, imbued the best of Jamesons and got jailed at Kilmainhan, so it was time for an open-air pursuit.
Dublin Zoo is set in the beautiful Phoenix Park, a mere ...

How to get good head...
Review of Brazen Head, Dublin by
shoppingpenguin
Advantages: Old, Cultural, Kitsch Cobbly Stones, Outdoor Smoking Area
Disadvantages: Full of tourists (damn tourists, ahem!!)
On our way to the Guinness Storehouse, we must have looked really confused/lost as a rather weathered looking local asked where we were going, and if we needed directions. Being Londoners and not used to random niceties from strangers, we were slightly ta ...

Review of The Tea Room at the Clarence, Dublin by
shoppingpenguin
Advantages: Fantastic food, interesting building, centrally located
Disadvantages: poor staff service on the day
As the purpose of our trip to Dublin was dubbed as a “romantic getaway”, we decided we had to eat out at a decent restaurant at least once. It was my job to look for great restaurants at Dublin, so I popped to toptable. We decided to go to the Tea Room at ...

Cheap boutique hotel
Review of Maldron Hotel Parnell Square, Dublin by
shoppingpenguin
Advantages: Clean, Good value for money, Not noisy, As described on websites
Disadvantages: Surly member of staff, No real charm/character
Having never visited Dublin before, deciding which hotel to stay at was largely done by looking at the map of hotels (and ratings) on tripadvisor. We wanted a hotel relatively close to the centre (which we deemed to be Temple Bar), so we could walk there ...
