We absolutely LOVED our stay at Ariel House. It was the perfect place to land after a transatlantic flight, and we were so grateful the staff allowed us to check in early--the nap felt soooo good before we went exploring the city. Plus, I had mentioned to the manager that we were coming to Ireland to celebrate my son's graduation, and he went above and beyond with a card and welcome dessert. Look at the pics! The breakfast was outstanding, and the servers could not have been more kind. The location was perfect, as it's away from the noise of the city but a 2-minute walk to the DART train that drops you right in the middle of it all. We stayed here two nights and then traveled around the country. Throughout our travels we kept coming back to Ariel House as one of the highlights. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
My kids loved their Nutella pancakes!
The drawing room was a wonderful place to relax and get to know other guests. Plus: unlimited coffee and tea!
Such a beautiful building.
Ariel House's breakfast is fantastic, served by some of the friendliest waitstaff you'll ever meet!

Beautiful hotel. We were upgraded as it was our anniversary. The only issue we had was that the shower didn't get hot so cold showers every morning. We reported it on the first day but it was never resolved, otherwise I would have given the hotel 5 stars

Absolutely beautiful place, so homely and quaint. Extra little touches you don’t get elsewhere, like a gorgeous lounge room with free homemade cakes, biscuits and coffee/tea or lemonade etc all day for guests. Really lovely helpful staff and they made it so personal and friendly. Breakfast is 2 courses and made to order of many options plus a buffet of pastries etc in a delightful sunny breakfast room. Rooms are tastefully decorated with kettle. Highly recommend.

This was by far one of the best stays I have ever had in any Europe vacation. The breakfast was amazing and the service equal. The train stop was less than a block away and we could get to anywhere from there. The staff was extremely helpful and the rooms were very comfortable. If I ever get back to Dublin, I will definitely try to make this our stay.

Very uncomfortable bed

The bed it was not comfortable. I really struggle with a sleep there. I wake up and feeling tired in the morning and the other thing is the heating. It was timed by the hotel so the room cold which is very annoying you wanna stay in the room comfortable but I’m unfortunately the heating was coming on 5 pm overall not very good experience and I’ll never book again
