Aberdeen Lodge Bed & Breakfast, Dublin

This is our beloved place, it's the third time we've stayed here. And each time we got a nice welcome in comfy chairs with coffee, tea with milk and homemade peanut cookies. The host also gave us an Easter present, thank you very much. Room and bathroom perfectly prepared. Every day there was cleaning, changing towels, refilling coffee and tea and toiletries - we thank the entire staff for such service. As the hostess confirmed, only a few things had changed around here since last year :-) but what hadn't changed was a great breakfast: Irish breakfast, toast with butter and marmalade, scrambled eggs with salmon, pancakes, granola with yoghurt and fruit...coffee or tea with milk, of course. Nor has the smell of the white lilies that greet you at the reception and in the drawing room. The location of the accommodation is in a quiet part, just outside Dublin city centre as well as Sandymount Beach. We really love it here. We look forward to our next reunion.

This was our second stay at the Aberdeen Lodge. Ann and Pat are the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome - with tea and biscuits of course! The lodge is perfectly located just SE of Dublin Center, within a two minute walk to the Sydney Parade train stop and with a bus stop just outside the door. Our room was comfy with a very strong shower. The view from the room overlooked the lush back garden. Ann provided a delicious breakfast and the morning we left very early, she provided us a to-go bag with a sandwich, apple, parfait, and biscuits! Thanks to Pat, we saved time and money using public transport between the airport and Belfast. Ann also gave us great recommendations for hiking in Wicklow and Glendalough. This is the perfect accommodation and we will be back!

Nothing! This B&B has everything we want for a stay in Dublin. You can't go wrong!

I loved everything about my stay at Aberdeen Lodge. Beautiful, thoughtful and comfortable facilities - I felt welcomed by Ann and Pat from the moment I arrived and appreciated so much their local insights and extra efforts to make sure I got the most out of my trip, it was exceptional. As mentioned in other reviews, the location is perfect as it's out of the city hubub whilst still being so accessible to transport. I would recommend to others and stay again if I'm lucky enough to be back in Dublin.

This is my second time staying at the Aberdeen Lodge. I came here two years ago, and there was no question about coming back. I consider it my home away from home when I’m in Dublin. Pat and Ann are wonderful hosts. SandyMount is a wonderful and safe area. Close to the beach, restaurants and pubs.

Nothing.

I absolutely loved this stay. The host was inviting and such a nice person to talk with. The tea in the library was excellent. The garden view was beautiful and the 2 dogs were absolutely adorable and well mannered. The place had an aroma of flowers and was pristine in its cleanliness. The host went above and beyond to give us breakfast even though we had an early morning flight. The breakfast was fresh and wonderful. I suggested this place to my sister and will be coming back!

Location was nice, quiet and safe. The host was personable and helpful. We enjoyed chatting with him.

This small hotel was very, very cozy. I really feeled welcomed when I arrived. Breakfast was good with a few options, and the dining room was lovely! This hotel is located in a quiet and neat area, but public transport (dart, bus) is within easy reach. I´d had loved to be able to stay there longer.

This was the perfect place for me - very close to Dublin city center, which was accessible by bus or tram, close to the water, quiet, comfortable, quaint neighborhood, excellent Irish breakfast. The owners were very helpful with recommendations and extra accommodations (public transport passes, calling taxis, etc). I highly recommend.

Beautiful property in an excellent location, close to the bay and public transit. Nice village nearby.

A beautiful and peaceful area of Dublin. Aberdeen Lodge is very homely, quiet and clean. The owner Pat was absolutely wonderful in welcoming us and made us feel right at home. The room was lovely and very clean. We had a very relaxing stay. It's very easy getting into Dublin with public transport that runs 24 hours. I would really recommend staying here and will definitely be back myself. Thanks for everything Pat!

Everything, location, room, staff, cleanliness, food.

Absolutely beautiful guesthouse and exceptional service from staff. Room was upgraded and was stunning.

Great location (but not central Dublin) The hosts are super friendly and helpful.

I was greeted by the owners, the house was decorated for Christmas and looked amazing. The location was brilliant for RDS and the Aviva stadium. I would love to stay again.

Charming place in a great location with very helpful and accommodating host. Breakfast was delicious and serving was immaculate. Highly recommend.

Everything

Breakfast was lovely and cooked to order.

The check in was smooth, and the staff were very friendly. The room had all I needed, a good size, and a very comfortable bed.

The room was nice. The location is in good proximity to the metro station and the bus. It was very easy to get around. They have two very sweet dogs on the property as well I loved it.

We loved the hotel, very well run by the family that own it. In a beautiful location well situated in terms of nearby public transport.

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault it, however the only minor thing we noticed were that the bedroom walls were very thin - we could hear a lot of from our neighbours

Excellent location, just 100 meters from bus stops with buses to downtown Dublin. The staff are very friendly and kind.

Shower was difficile to operate

Lovely double fronted house set back from the road. Quiet safe avenue with lovely big houses. Lovely wood and carpets throughout, beautifully decorated.

It’s not the latest decor but that doesn’t mean it it tired at all. It’s a period property and it all goes together.

Beautiful property with excellent hospitality, breakfast was amazing

The food was wonderful. I have some dietary requirements, and Ann was able to make beautiful, delicious, and safe meals for me. The room was clean, and it had everything I needed. Pat helped me so much with planning my day trips and where to eat. His advice was spot on. The location is absolutely amazing - about a block to the bus stop and just a little farther to the light rail station. It is also walking distance to the little village of Sandymount, which has a Tesco and some really wonderful restaurants. The price of staying at the lodge was really reasonable, especially for how convenient it was to get into the city center from there.

It was absolutely delicious.

Nothing to say

We booked this room on the spur of the moment after realising we couldn't stay another night where we were booked. The owner was amazingly welcoming on arrival giving us a map of local amenities and talking us through the local area.

I wish we could have stayed longer!! our ferry was the next morning

would be great to have more Vegan options

Warm welcome, delicious breakfast and very comfortable beds.

The host was very knowledgeable about Dublin and how you can spend your days there. Location is good with frequent buses. The room and facilities were also all good and clean.

Everything was fantastic. I cannot point out one thing that was not perfect.

Very nice & friendly hosts, cute house in a very nice neighborhood, excellent breakfast, super clean property & rooms, good transport connection to dublin center (bus runs 24 hours, takes 12-15 mins to city, stop is 1 min walk from the lodge), cute doggies, homely/cozy feeling.

Rooms are not sound proofed. The wooden floors are squeaky. Could hear other guests walking around, talking, slamming doors (sometimes).

A beautiful house with a huge and green garden. The hotel owners are nice and friendly which makes me feel comfortable and welcome

The hosts were so welcoming and did everything to make my stay comfortable. The room was very comfortable and had everything that was needed Breakfast was fabulous

Nothing

Very welcoming, felt right at home. Great location, walkable to Sandymount, and easy to hop on a bus to get further out/downtown.

Excellent location, comfortable and spacious room, great shower and delicious breakfast.

Friendly staff, beautiful house. Felt very clean and comfortable. The location is great, it's near buses, the Dart and an easy walk to the Strand.

The floor boards are creaky and the sound insulation is non existent. We woke up every morning at 7am to the person in the room above us walking around and people having loud conversations in the hallway. For me, this was a deal breaker. If I knew about the noise, I wouldn't have booked here.

Fantastic place, great transport links within a short walk, beach and good restaurants also within a short walk. The room had a vintage vibe, which was in keeping with the house. Everywhere was elegant, clean, and comfortable. And the host and staff were very welcoming and accommodating. I have no hesitation recommending this place and will return in the future.

I stayed for 2 nights - the room was cleaned, towels changed and beds made during my stay, despite putting a private sign up on the door. I would have liked the option to not have these things happen - better for the environment and reduces costs on many levels. Also the water in the shower wasn't the hottest on the first morning - warm enough to have a shower, but could have been warmer. Still, this wouldn't put me off coming back again in the future.

Very convenient to public transport. Very welcoming hosts.

We missed our flight back home and had to book another night in/near Dublin last minute. We booked a room in Aberdeen Lodge, and it ended up being the best accommodation we had in our entire trip!! It felt like a home away from home. It was beautiful and very clean. And the hospitality of the owner was amazing!!! My husband and I said to each other afterwards that is was a shame we only had the one night at the lodge. If we ever come back to Dublin, we will definitely stay here again!

There was nothing negative about this stay.

It is a beautiful place in Sandymount!

Breakfast was excellent

creaking floor upstairs neighbours

Great location Pat and Ann were excellent hosts Staff really good There was nothing not to like

Liked everything

The lodge is in a perfect location, very clean and we felt we were transported to a different kind world where time slowed down and we were present. Pat was very gracious to give us history of the 100 year old home.

Nothing, all was perfect.

Spotlessly clean, charming and comfortable. Beautiful garden! The dogs are a delight! Easy checkin, and right on the bus line for very quick access to everything.

N/A

The Owners were very friendly and provided information on how to get around in Dublin. They had available for cash purchase 3 day mass transit tickets good for Bus/Train/Street Car. Convenient to restaurants and easy to get to Dublin center.

Like most other places in Dublin, it was pricy.

The staff and owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was lovely: A short walk from a charming town and and the sea, and convenient to public transport, but just far enough away from the businesses of the city center. The room was clean and comfortable, and the housekeeping was great. Breakfast was delicious.

No complaints.
