We spent only two nights in this small B&B, but it was great. The bed was the most comfortable of the four places we stayed in Ireland. The room (#4) was very clean and VERY quiet. The owner was always helpful and easy going. The WiFi worked well and the owner offered his computer to print our boarding passes. We wanted a place handy to the airport and to central Dublin. Tinode House certainly filled the bill and more. The buses to the central district are frequent and just outside the door. When we return to Dublin, this is where we will stay.

I am not sure I can express exactly how much it was awesome. Accomodation in very nice hotel with PJ - who was always willing to give me advice how to get there and there and Im not speaking about his great breakfast. I can just reccomend!!! I will stay only at Tinode House if I come again to Dublin.

This has been our 3rd stay with PJ & Maureen Dunne at their lovely home in Upper Drumcondra and we wouldn't stay anywhere else when we visit Dublin !!!! The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms immaculately clean, fantastic breakfasts served by PJ and he is a wealth of knowledge of Dublin and the surrounding areas. Maureen couldn't be nicer and more than helpful in so many ways!!! They have a lovely garden one can sit and relax and enjoy the evening with a fine cup of tea. We plan to return in 2013 and THIS is the only B&B we will stay at while in Dublin. We couldn't recommend it more !!! We give it 6 stars out of 5 !!!!! You will regret it if you don't stay here !!! It's the BEST !!!

Tinode House is a classic Irish home hotel, providing wonderful accommodations, a helpful and charming host, and superb full Irish breakfasts. This being our first visit to Ireland, it was most enjoyable to receive such a warm, hearty welcome to the country in the person of P.J. Dunne, the affable owner/innkeeper. Mr. Dunne was full of helpful advice on how to make the most of our stay in Dublin, and always available to answer our questions. He seems to do everything, including cleaning the rooms and cooking the breakfast. The man is a wonder. And he is a marvelous cook as well, judging by five wonderful breakfasts!
I would have rated Tinode with five stars for "excellent" but for several nagging complaints concerning the bathroom.
First, in our en suite, the bathroom fan operated by motion senser, meaning that every time one so much as opened the door to the bath room the loud fan started up again, continuing for minutes after leaving the bathroom. This of course also happened when one had to make a trip to the "john" in the middle of the night. Not helpful at a time when rest and quiet was most desired.
Second, there was no shampoo provided of any kind. In my extensive travel experience, I can't remember a single B&B or inn anywhere else not providing some shampoo, either in a small container, or by dispenser in the shower.
Third, although there was a sign in the bathroom warning clients not to use the towels to remove their makeup, there was no tissue provided (other than toilet tissue). A minor inconvenience, to be sure, but still . . . if the sign is on the wall, why not provide something in lieu of towels to remove make up?
Finally, although we stayed for five nights, during the entire time we had only one small bar of soap provided for both sink and shower, with which we had to make do for the full five days.
Other than these bathroom inconveniences, this was a wonderful place to stay.
