Great, quiet place. A few grocery and necessity shops around the corner. Although not ideal for long term stay as no microwaves and fridges.

3 nights.
Three night stay. Situated on a quiet, mostly one way road. Not as grand as name suggests, end- of- terrace with extension. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking is a single space in front of extension. Bed comfy, shower good, plenty of hot water.

One night in Dublin
Clean and well maintained, in a excellent location if going to the RDS or Aviva, and about a 30 minute walk to the city centre. Perfect if you just need a place to sleep after a night out in Dublin.

Excellent guesthouse
Thanks so much to Terry and his staff. They made my stay at Donnybrook Hall very comfortable. It is a lovely property, out of the way of the noise of the city but close enough to walk to the centre and still experience Dublin!

Room ok. The lighting in the room was poor...could have been brighter. But overall comfortable enough.

A great stay at Donnybrook Hall
An excellent stay, friendly staff and comfortable room. The hosts greeted me at check-in and served coffee. The hotel is a few miles outside center but has great bus service, also convenient for Bray. I loved my room a nice little annex overlooking the garden. Lots of nice shops and restaurants nearby and a clean and safe area. Thanks for making my stay great Donnybrook Hall I hope to return again.

A brilliant discovery, worth coming back to
Lovely, extremely clean, wonderful friendly proprietors, in a safe and convenient location. My garden room was gorgeous - made me wish I'd booked to stay longer than just one night. Everything was A+. Pro-tip - do take the recommendations for where to go and what to do in Dublin - everything they suggested to me was spot-on perfect.

Hotel was central to shops bars an restaurants.
Quiet area at night.
Buses to centre Dublin few minutes walk.
Close to both the rds and the aviva for events and rugby matches.
No meals including breakfast but no problems regarding that.
Room was spacious and clean, bed super comfy.
Host and staff warm an friendly.
Definitely recommend staying at donnybrook Hall.

I have been traveling a lot for work for well over a decade, and unfortunately, this has been the second-biggest accommodation disappointment to date. Based on its great reviews, I was expecting a nice stay, but I ended up with a room that smelled like mold and had at least one big visible mold spot (I have photos and videos to prove this). Since my stay was only a few nights and the staff was exceptionally nice to me, I didn't complain, but I hope they do something about the mold situation. The property consists of two buildings, a regular house in the front that was warm and smelled nice, and a few additional units in the back yard. I stayed in one of the latter, so I suspect the positive reviews come from rooms in the main building.
