Our 5 day stay was exceptional. All amenities were as described but the best part of the stay was the helpfulness of all the staff (especially Julian on our arrival) throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to our friends and family! Thank you Ariel House for making our visit to Dublin memorable!

The location is very good in a nice residential neighborhood. Only one block to the Dart station to take you anywhere you want to go. The historic building is very interesting and although our room was small, it was fine for a short visit. The parlor offered snacks and lemonade and was nicely decorated and a good spot to relax after traveling. Our bed was a little hard but ok for one night. I recommend this property if you like convenience and appreciate historic buildings.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is nice. We were in a classic double room, downstairs in room 240. The room was small but quiet which was nice. The bed was firm. The bathroom had been redecorated and had a lovely shower with rain shower and regular shower heads with good water pressure and lots of hot water. The included breakfast made to order was wonderful. There was a large menu to choose from, all cooked to order and delivered fresh to your table. Be aware though of limited fruit options on the included buffet. The DART station is within a 5 mins walk and you can be in the city center in about 20 mins. The train does not run really often though so be aware of the schedule. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This was my first time traveling to Dublin, so I was a bit anxious about whether I would be in a good area while also having easy access to the city. Ariel House was the PERFECT location. It was a short 3 min walk to the train station, so we could be in the downtown district within a 10-15 minutes, but we were far enough away to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's also a stone's throw from the Aviva Stadium, so if someone is attending an event at that venue, Ariel House is within walking distance. The room was beautiful and the complimentary breakfast each morning was delicious. I'm from the US and get the typical "continental" style breakfast, but this was far beyond that. We were able to eat a hot breakfast, have a cup of coffee/tea/juice, and ease into our day. I HIGHLY recommend Ariel House with it's beautiful Victorian Style drawing room and spacious suites.

The hotel was beautiful and cozy. The staff was welcoming and helpful at every turn. Breakfast was decent. Many other reviews noted the "great" location. I think a better adjective would be "affluent". The location was nice, quiet, and clearly a wealthy residential area, but it was further away from the touristy things than I usually would have chosen. There were hardly any restaurants and 0 pubs within a 30 min walk. It was a 40+ minute walk to all the sites we planned to see- not unbearable, but not as convenient as other places I have previously stayed. We were told there was a bus stop nearby, but if you are like us and prefer to walk, prepare to add extra walking time to your itinerary.
