The rooms were cozy and well appointed. The staff, especially the bartender, were so friendly. The only negative was a bad smell coming from the bathroom toilet drain. It dissipated somewhat after our first shower.

Cozy Dublin stay!

Very cozy stay. Check in was ok- we had to call the host to let us into the building, as the restaurant hours are a little all over the place. Host was so so kind and accommodating. The room was comfortable but it is stuffy. The fan helps. Really appreciated the water and Guiness stocked. Very good location

We loved the location and the fact that we felt at home. We liked the staff in the kitchen and the housekeeping staff as well We most liked Dave. He was amazing. He went out of his way to help us out. He gave us things to make our trip more fun, he told us stories, he gave us directions and recommendations. So we were very upset to arrive back a couple days later to find the owner had fired him and much of the other staff, simply due to a disagreement. The place just didn't feel as alive or as fun after Dave was gone.

Short break

Great place to stay, room was clean with everything you need for your stay. Good location, easy to walk to all the places in Dublin, close to transport if you want it.Very friendly and welcoming staff, breakfast keeps you going all day! It is on the main road so traffic and trams pass so can be noisy from early in the morning.

The room was lovely and location great. We could walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Breakfast was good, and staff friendly. Only thing to note is that it is above a pub and on a road. It was quiet when we went as it was a Monday & Tuesday night so the pub closed at 8pm. I can imagine it could be a little noisy if it was open. Great value for money though, with dressing gowns and coffee machine in room.

Excellent staff. The room is like a cruise ship cabin. Small and quaint. We spent all our time, except for sleeping, out in the community, exploring.

Surpirse in Smithfield

It looks like McGettigans have followed the trend and totally refurbished some letting rooms. The one I stayed in was great. Very smartly furnished, a little unconventional, but in a pleasant way. A welcoming bottle of beer and water and tea tray. Not much room to work in if you are a business traveller. Despite the location, right next to the Luas (tram) track, the room was well insulated and the noise didn't bother me. Breakfast was included, served from 8.30am. Since I was on business I was out and in the office before brekkie was being served! so I can't review the food. Minor issue with a rain water leak in the drain pipes. Flooded the bathroom - just after I used the shower. Teething problems no doubt with the new refurb. Location was great, 2 minute walk to the Smithfield Luas stop.

Great place to stay

Lovely stay, very welcoming. The first night was very noisy, however the next night we had a play around with the window and realised it hadn't been closed properly! After that it was perfect. Generous breakfast and a great location. Very clean and a great sized room.
