Kilronan House

We wanted to be in a fairly central location, but have some more personal contact while visiting Dublin for the first time. A guest house seemed to be ideal. Kilronan House is located at the south end of central Dublin, making it ideal for walking to everything we wanted to see. It is a block to the national concert hall, and a further block to St. Stephen's Green, which is close to many of Dublin's attractions.The guest house is located in a townhouse along a fairly busy street. The interior has some rather charming Victorian details in both the rooms and the decor. With 14 rooms, the place seemed busy at breakfast time, but because the rooms were located on a number of floors, we rarely saw people as we were coming and going.We had two rooms both of which were spacious for European accommodation. The one bathroom was rather small, but the other fairly spacious with a sky light which made it very attractive. Both had hot powerful showers. Neither had a bathtub. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. There was lots of storage space. A small TV, with a desk and telephone in each room. There were coffee and tea making equipment and ingredients, and little biscuits provided. One of the rooms was on the first floor (second floor to North Americans) and faced the street. We could hear some traffic but it was not a problem for sleeping.The breakfast, which was included, was the most extensive I have seen for a guest house or B&B. The full Irish breakfast not only included eggs every possible way, bread, porridge, sausage, bacon, fruit, etc., but you could also order waffles, pancakes, a great variety of cold cereals, a fruit and yoghurt dish and eggs Benedict. Service was very prompt and the food very tasty.The price was €70 per person per night. That price appeared to be about average for Dublin accommodation. Cheaper rates appear to be rare in this booming city.The staff was very friendly and helpful with our questions. This place worked well for our family of four and would likely be a good place for other sized groups. We saw single travelers at breakfast and a number of couples.

This is a charming Bed and Breakfast. I think they have about 15 rooms. The rate includes a wonderful cooked breakfast. Most rooms have toilet and shower. (I think 3 share). We stayed here twice and last year we had a room with a skylite.

The owner, Terry, is very helpful in arranging tours and all the staff is very friendly. The location is about 10 minute walk from St. Stephen''s Green and about 20 minute walk to Temple Bar area. There are a number of pubs and restaurants in the immediate area.
