Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The Wilder Townhouse, in a convenient and quiet corner of the city, is a converted Victorian townhouse with a variety of room sizes that range from the diminutive “Shoebox” rooms to suites with lounge areas.”

Telegraph review:

“Within these red-brick walls lies an impeccably styled and charming boutique hotel, where you can bed down in a historic building while enjoying numerous little luxuries. Here, the focus is on the details, from the literary touches at turndown to the elegant terrace that’s perfect for a sundowner after a day in the city.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

 

Tucked away on a leafy stretch of Adelaide Road, The Wilder Townhouse feels like a little secret in the heart of Dublin.

Behind its handsome red-brick Victorian facade lies a boutique hotel full of character. There are 42 individually styled rooms, from snug “Shoebox” doubles to spacious suites, all decked out with luxe touches and rainforest showers.

Inside, there’s a really warm, design-led vibe: high ceilings, velvet upholstery, corniced detail, and little nods to Dublin’s literary past (hello, Oscar Wilde).

You can unwind in the Gin & Tea Rooms over a craft cocktail, or grab breakfast in the sunlit Garden Room, then step out onto the terrace when the weather’s right.

The Wilder manages to feel both stylishly refined and like your cosy Dublin home away from home.

Boutique accommodation with lovely feel and great staff

We loved everything. Such a lovely place to stay. The staff were so professional and friendly. Beautiful rooms and lovely breakfast.

Nothing really! The only very small downside is that if you have a car the onsite parking is limited. It’s ok at the weekend because street parking easy to find but I would imagine during the week a bit harder.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in.

The room was extremely clean and comfortable, the bathroom and shower was one of the best I’ve seen in a hotel I’ve stayed in. The bed was really comfortable and firm, the best bed I’ve slept in all the hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff were very friendly and extremely efficient.

The tv should have Crome cast to use YouTube with, no one watches tx channels any more.

Quiet, stylish hotel in the heart of Dublin

Loved the quiet location, the amenities, the cozy room style/shower and the breakfast. I also appreciated that it was within walking distance of many pubs/restaurants and near the city tram. When I’m back in Dublin, I will absolutely stay here for longer!

Nothing, it was great!

Nice stay around St. Stephen's Green

Very beautifully restored Georgian home that is now a boutique hotel. The location is a quiet and within walking distance to a lot of attractions, but maintains a neighborhood feel. The decor is beautiful, and the bar/restaurant spaces are light-filled and serene. Beautiful, large bathroom. Small parking lot (first-come, first serve). Very helpful, friendly staff that really made the stay! Loved getting an expertly-prepared gin and tonic on arrival.

The rooms are a little small, and there is no closet or wardrobe to hang up your clothes, but hangers are provided.

A dreamy perfect hotel for your Dublin stay

Amazing grounds, comfortable and clean room, quality fixtures throughout. Not only was the room aesthetically gorgeous, everything functioned properly and was comfortable. Lights and plugs all over, a window that opened but also air conditoning. A bathtub and a shower in the deluxe king! The service was 5-star quality, any request we made was answered within minutes. Not to mention the food and drinks were excellent. Also the location was perfect! Could walk anywhere in about 30-45 minutes but a block from the Luas station. I truly couldn’t think of a single improvement.

We paid premium pricing during Taylor Swift weekend but that’s to be expected!

Beautiful hotel would stay again but would want parking guaranteed

Beautiful property, in a quiet & lovely location. Room decor was fabulous, beds & pillows extremely comfortable! Breakfast wasn’t included but we chose to avail of it as an extra & it was well worth it!

Restricted parking on the founds meant that we had to pay to park on the street which is restricted in many areas to residential permits at night so we weren’t sure would we get a fine or not. It cost in excess of €20 to park on the street for one night.

Breakfast was very good, lot of options. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Hotel nicely decorated, espescially the breakfast rooms. Quiet area.

The matress was a bit hard. Hotel a little outside the city center, you may walk, but taxi is more convinient. Rooms not very soundproof. Could hear most guests entering and leaving their rooms.

Fabulous

I loved the staff, very friendly and professional and attentive. Hotel was very clean, location superb, very central.

Menu choices for lunch and dinner are limited to light bites and salads, do not expect anything proper substantial or lot of warm choices. Soup was great as well as salmon salad, actually delicious but as I said its all light bites.
