Detailed Reviews
I myself get confused the odd time thinking a guesthouse is like a B&B. Definitely not this little gem in Ballsbridge. Back in Dublin to visit family and stayed here with my sister. It’s a hotel on a smaller scale with personal touches. From when I asked for more milk and got home baked biscuits too😊The house is immaculately clean, staff are possibly the most helpful I’ve come across in Dublin hotels without being overpowering. From the management ladies at reception, to the night porter to the cleaner. Well done on the Covid procedures, access to sanitiser everywhere, a mask was available when I asked and room was spotless. Truly a wonderful place in a stunning location.

We had a large room at the back of the house, so very quiet, recently redecorated and well furnished with plenty of storage. Both Jennie, the owner, and the staff were all friendly and very well organised. They were happy to help with any requests we had, in fact I'm not sure I've ever met such a great group of staff.
Breakfasts were substantial and excellently cooked. There was tea and coffee in the drawing room, together with cake, all through the afternoon. It was a comfortable and peaceful spot.
Ariel House is near a Dart station, so easy to get into the main Conolly station and on from there, though taxis into the centre are reasonably priced. The reception will have one with you in minutes.

Ariel Hotel was amazing; set in a large Victorian building with very large rooms with high ceilings; beautiful rich furnishing; very comfortable and very big bed; spotlessly clean.
Very quiet, the metro (DART) on the door step, only 3 stops from the city centre;
Great breakfasts, very quickly served, with much variety; very attentive staff.

We stayed here after attending a concert in the RDS. It was a present for my partner. We normally stay in another hotel which is excellent but it was booked out.
We got here and when we checked into our room I was so disappointed as it was disgusting and dirty. My partner just wanted to forget about it and head to the concer as we were late getting up to Dublin.
Do I just left it the stupidest thing I ever did. We came back after the event and I got a shower and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and was brushing my hair and whay was stuck in it only chewing gum that had been stuck on the second pillow after i had taken the first pillow off during the night.
I started bawling crying ad I now was in a disgusting dive and had some one else's gum in my hair.i could even see the where the crusty gum had been stuck to the pillow.
We went down to reception where the manager is who is the most ignorant person ever. She even offered to cut it out of my hair!!!!!! My partner suggested could a hairdresser be booked instead of it being cut out. She then booked the hairdresser and told us to go to breakfast.
We were waiting for breakfast where the man who gave you your table kept on skipping over us. I couldn't eat anyway knowing someone's dirty gum was stuck in my hair.
We went to hairdressers who were brilliant and got the gum out of my hair. I still lost hair over this.
We got back to Ariel House and she asked us how I got on and I told her it was now gone. She then offered us a complimentary nights stay over what had happened we declined as I never wanted to step foot in that dirty place again. We asked for our money back and she DECLINED!!!!! said that she didn't believe it happened on their premises and basically accused me of practically putting the gum in my hair myself.
We went through booking.com and they refunded our money as they were appalled at what happened.
After reading other people's bad reviews of this place she will just spin it her own way to make the reviewer look like a liar. She is the most horrible person I have ever dealt with in relation to accomadation and the premises is dirty.
On the way walking out of the place what did we notice only a woman who cleans the room chewing gum.
Our whole trip was ruined we were suppose to attend another event the next day but I was just too upset and wanted to go home and wash my hair again.

A lovely quiet stay in the heart of Dublin with car parking. The bedroom was comfortable and warm with a radiator we could adjust and a window that opened onto the garden. Bath and shower and a good range of channels on the TV
But the highlight of the stay was the superb breakfast and the lovely staff. A fantastic array of juices, breads and pastries and a comprehensive menu of hot dishes. A cooked Irish breakfast was cooked beautifully, not at all greasy and presented well. We will definitely stay again.

Ask for a 'garden room'. My husband and I stayed in a smaller room with a queen-size bed. The room with attached bath was extremely clean. The housekeeping staff are excellent and very friendly and accommodating for anything we needed (ice bucket, etc). Breakfast was fantastic! Besides the fresh fruit and pastry, there's yogurt, juices, coffee and tea and then you have your choice of poached eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, etc. The staff in the dining room was fantastic. 12 Euros
As a side note: we brought our laundry to a little place around the corner for
There are no elevators in this hotel so you must be able to climb stairs. There is no air conditioning (which could just be a North American thing). There are no wash/face cloths (again this may be a North American thing).
We would definitely go back to this place again but not after mid May as it was quite warm! Definitely recommend this place for that friendly and clean atmosphere.
Depending on time of day cabs to City Centre run between 9-15 Euros or a 40 minute walk.

Also, we invest a lot of effort into creating the best possible breakfast and we always search for the best local products and suppliers.

Our check in experience was great, very welcoming at Reception and information given about parking and breakfast times etc.
When we arrived into our room, straight away I was disappointed as it did not resemble any photographs of the rooms advertised on the website. I assume we were in a Garden View room, but the view was of the back yard which was weeds and concrete slabs and also overlooked so I could see into the buildings at the back.
The room was small, dark, tired and I was shocked to see how dusty the headboard was, this wasn't just missed at the last clean, it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The room really does need a freshen up with paint, new furniture and new carpet. TV was very small but a good enough selection of channels. Bathroom was ok, cleaner than the bedroom was.
The website stated tea, coffee and homemade cakes/buns were available in the lounge. Coffee machine was a nice touch, but instructions on how to use it would be helpful. There were no cakes or buns there, no breakfast tea and no clean glasses for the water.
I thought not all would be lost as according to other reviews, breakfast here was amazing. Unfortunately this wasn't our experience. We were seated and asked did we want tea/coffee. In other Hotels, usually the set up of the breakfast is explained i.e. self service/menu. There was a table with bowls, jugs and breads/pastries, so I assumed that it was self service, but was waiting to be told. I then found a menu tucked behind the salt and pepper and had started to read it when we were asked what we would like to order, we had only been seated for less than 5 minutes and weren't directed to any menu so I had to say no I wasn't ready yet. We ordered the Irish breakfast, I had high hopes about it but it was small and unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. The brown toast is not brown toast, it's toasted wheaten bread.
Another let down at breakfast was the servers. Although pleasant, it's extremely off-putting to have them standing in a group on the step beside your table, practically on top of your shoulder, talking amongst one another. I actually moved my chair over abit as one of the staffs hips were almost touching my shoulder. The dining room isn't big and it's really not appropriate or professional. We weren't offered sauces and to be honest, I didn't want to disrupt their conversations to ask for some.
When we were leaving, a taxi had parked up the middle of the parking area, blocking us in, so we had to ask at reception was it someone here as we are blocked in. Thankfully it was, it was a staff member, no apology or acknowledgement from the staff member when they were moving their car out. Not an ideal situation, I understand parking in the area isn't readily available, but it's little things like this that aren't professional.
I think this Hotel was a gem once upon a time, but really needs a refurb in order to justify the prices they are charging. Please also update the photographs on the website to reflect all of the rooms.
I can only give 2 stars, 1 for location as it's a nice walk into the dock area and beside the Aviva Stadium, and 1 for our check on experience.

Responded 8 Oct 2022
Dear Guest, Please allow me first to thank you for choosing to stay with Ariel House for your trip to Dublin, as well as for taking the time to offer feedback. While it is never pleasant to receive a negative one, we sincerely and genuinely care about each guest's stay, and we will certainly use your comments to improve the guest experience, therefore thank you again for letting us know about your stay. Secondly, I would like to offer our sincere apologies that your expectations were not met and for a negative experience you have had with us. Immediately after receiving your review we have had team meetings with both our Accommodation team, as well as our Restaurant team in order to insure that these things do not happen again. Also, I understand that you were not satisfied with your room and I apologize for this again. While there is not much we can do regarding the views from some of our rooms, we have however made a decision to start a significant refurbishment of some of our rooms which we are hoping will be completed in the course of the next 3-4 months. While we do offer complimentary tea and coffee in our cozy and relaxing Drawing Room at all times, we present the homemade cake only in the afternoon after our breakfast is finished. I am also very sad to see that you were not happy with breakfast. We certainly make a lot of effort into offering a wide range of variety including home and freshly baked pastries, homemade breads and granola, and we try to work with as many as possible local suppliers to ensure that our menu is best as it can be, however, I would like to offer sincere apologies if you were not explained what is self service and what is to be ordered from the menu. As mentioned, we have already spoken to our team regarding this. Once again, I would like to apologize for the above, and to thank you for reviewing your stay with us. I certainly hope that we will have an opportunity to serve you better in the future. Sincerely, Marko Bobetic General Manager

Ariel House is an absolutely lovely B&B, all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. It is also in an excellent location with it being less than 5 minutes away from the DART train station and the Aviva Stadium. This was perfect for us as we were going to a concert in the Aviva Stadium and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The room we stayed in was really nice and we had an excellent quality breakfast with lots of selection in the morning. I would recommend Ariel House to anyone and I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Dublin.

Ariel House was the highest quality accommodation we experience in Ireland and was a superb place for the last night of our holiday. We were treated to impeccable service from friendly staff available at all times. The building is several beautiful terrace houses joined together and the bedroom/bathroom as well as the common areas are immaculately furnished. A particularly lovely touch is the guest's drawing room which features an honesty bar and fresh home made cakes for afternoon tea daily. Ariel House is just down the street from Landsdowne Park and railway station for very convenient travel to the centre of Dublin.

This guest house is absolutely lovely. The breakfasts are fabulous with lots of different selections sure to appeal to most travelers. Our room was a suite with a very spacious sitting area, large bathtub and shower. There’s a wonderful drawing room on the main floor where guests can sit and relax. Hot drinks, lemon water and small tea cakes are made available in drawing room for guests in the afternoon. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The guest house is located next to the stadium and very close to a Intercity train station. While it did not happen when we stayed there, this area of town could be busy and noisy during concerts, games and other stadium events.otherwise the neighborhood is very nice, several decent restaurants and pubs are within walking distance.

Sorry, no idea about bookings in August - Suggest you phone or e-mail the hotel
You sent this question not to Ariel House but me (a recent reviewer). I our experience they answered our questions quickly ( via email) particularly about how best to get to the hotel from the airport and other questions. If they are not busy I would not be surprised that they would accommodate you. We arrived very early in the day and they watched our luggage for us while we went out and placed it in our room once it was ready. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we did.
There was a tv in our room, but not very big, there is a small reception room. Suggest you ring and enquire.
The front parlor room with a big picture window, fireplace and piano. Is warm and inviting. On a large cabinet you will find a pod type coffeemaker, china tea/coffee cups and saucers, and at some times of the day, a platter of mini cake bites. It is a nice place to rest after walking all over Dublin or to read or catch up on emails in the evening. I don't think Ariel House offers a formal afternoon tea, however, their breakfast is fantastic.
