    Having my own bathroom and being in a traditional red brick home. Being close to the bus into town. Loved having the botanic gardens a share walk away. Food Orion nearby. Bernie went out of her way to make my stay an excellent one.

    If you don’t like stairs this property has stairs.

    I had a lovely, pleasant stay at the Botanic View. The location was easily accessible to the city centre, with plenty of pubs, restaurants, take aways. The beautiful National Botanic Gardens is a short walk too. Bernie was very helpful and friendly and made me feel welcomed.

    Thanks for your kind comments and so glad you enjoyed your time with us.

    It was very pretty and in a nice quiet suburb. I felt very welcome, the house is nicely appointed and cozy. I am very happy to have stayed there and definitely will stay again. The bedding and linens were very comfortable, very pretty and everything was very clean. I was only there for one night and Bernie was very helpful with arranging a taxi back to Dublin airport. The location is also very convenient by bus.

    Everything was great! Bernie is a wonderful host

    Thank you for your kind comments and it was a pleasure having you stay. It was handy that you were able to share the taxi cost with another guest who happened to be going to the airport at the same time as you!!

    The room was clean and tidy. The area is close to my work.

    Rhe hotel was a bit pricy for the short stay.

    Clean and quiet, nice location within an easy bus ride to the centre, friendly and helpful host. I’d definitely come back.

    The mattress was a bit on the bouncy side for my liking. I had to put the incense sticks out on the window sill as I found the smell very strong and it reminded me slightly of cigarette smoke. Once I’d put the increase outside, it wasn’t an issue anymore.

    Really cozy little spot, especially nice in the single room with private bathroom. Host accommodated late check-in with clear instructions and was super helpful and sweet. Little outside of the city centre

    Thank you for comments and it was a pleasure having you stay. Yes, we are a little outside city centre but our location is a quiet residential area so good nights sleep guaranteed! 6 bus routes pass beside us for city centre. Hope to see you again in the future!

    Traditional Irish home with very comfortable beds, fabulous location surrounding by grocery stores, excellent pubs serving good food and the best Guinness! Access to City bus and Taxi. Bernie is a gracious host, extremely helpful, providing good tips and info on tours, restaurants and bus routes. I highly recommend staying at the Botanic B&B. Thank you Bernie!

    Bedroom clean bed comfy.

    If you're a smoker, then it could be the right place to stay for you. The first thing that hit me was the smell of smoke when I first walked in. There was a wall socket coming away from the wall which I forgot to mention to owners.

    Property response:

    I am trying to send you private message but having difficulty. GUESTS BEDROOMS AND GUESTS DINING AREA ARE ALL STRICTLY NON SMOKING so we apologise that you smelt smoke when you arrived. I have checked the room and cant find the "wall socket" you mention?? All I can find is the box/link for the TV channels which rests on mantlepiece and this is where it should be???

    Loved the location, the breakfast room and the room was spacious and comfortable. Good shower to and comfortable bed.

    The only thing I did not like was there was no access to a toilet downstairs. But that was mainly because my friend could not do the stairs often.

    The place was outstanding! The host was absolutely amazing, she gave us a personalised leaflet with a map of the city and the place, including options for transport, places to visit, pubs and recommendations. Tbh, I never received this type of attention and was impressed. The accommodation has a central location, there are different pubs and restaurants around the area, supermarkets, and the bus stop is located on the next corner which can transport you to most tourist places. Talking about the room, it was impressively clean. I have been traveling to different countries and the accommodations from booking are not the cleanest in comparison to other platforms. Still, this place was not only clean but pleasant, the bathroom was small but enough for having privacy for my partner and me, the host offered us an extra blanket but not needed as the room had heaters and a good duvet. I felt like I was at home. Additionally, we had no access to the full kitchen but not needed, we could use the microwave, kettle for hot water, cluttery and plates and the host was in charge of washing the dishes; also, the host offered breakfast for free, she offered toast, butter, jam, cereal, bananas, coffee, sugar, and milk, I know this is not a continental breakfast but this absolutely helped us for save money on morning food and spend it on some Guinness! We are very thankful for this experience. We will for sure book again if visit Dublin in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BERNIE!

    People can complain that the bathroom is small, but most of the places in Ireland don't offer a private bathroom so we are thankful for having privacy. This is not a complaint about the accommodation but the transport, if you want to use the bus and in your country every bus has card payments, it's a NO in Ireland, so be prepared with coins, no notes (and the exact amount as they don't give change) or buy your tickets upfront.

    Thanks so much for taking time to write such a details review and it was lovely to meet you both and hope to have you with us again in the future! Bernie and PJ

    We stayed in Dublin spontaneously for the Rugby match and found that B&B last minute. The location was very handy, a couple of minutes from Croke Park, but very quiet and really nice. The hosts very absolutely friendly and helpful. The room was small, but beautiful, absolutely comfortable and with a private bathroom. We would stay there anytime again!

    warm welcome Good assistance to find taxis and locate shops There were always there to assist

    Poor internet connection.Blankets were not comfortable but good

    Property response:

    We apologise for poor internet connection but ss my computer was linked up to my husband's system, I did not realise there was a problem until another guest informed us so if you had told us, we could have rectified the problem earlier. All our beds have duvets and as the weather temperature is so changeable at the moment, your bedroom has 2 good woollen blankets also so I am surprised at your comments about same??

    Central location close to bus stop. Quiet

    Small shower. Difficult to find as no B&B sign

    Property response:

    Thank you for your review. As our property is over 120 years old, we are very limited with the space available to install en suite shower rooms. This is a quiet residential street so we are not allowed to install sign on our property but all arriving guedts have our address and eircode/zip details. We are happy you found our property "quiet" as properties nearer the city do tend to be very busy with traffic etc!
