Very nice, historic, Victorian style house. Breakfast every morning was great. 30 minutes from the airport. 1-2 miles from City Center, which was great for us because we love to walk, but also far enough away from the crowds of downtown. Would definitely consider going back

Exceptional, but remote

They boast the best breakfast in Dublin, and I agree. The rooms are elegant and spacious, the staff excellent. My only heads-up would be that it is far from the city center. The Dart station is right by the hotel, but the Dart doesn’t take you exactly where you want to go. I averaged 5 miles a day walking because of its remoteness. If you’re attending an event at the Aviva stadium, then you are literally next door.

Superb

My colleague had the pleasure of staying at Ariel House in Ballsbridge, and I must say it was a truly charming experience. From the moment she arrived, the warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere made her feel right at home. The location is ideal – situated in a peaceful and elegant part of Dublin, yet only a short distance from the city centre. It’s also very convenient for attending events at the Aviva Stadium, which is just a short walk away. The rooms were beautifully presented, combining classic elegance with modern comfort. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the room was spotless, quiet, and well-equipped. What truly sets Ariel House apart is the personal touch in service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist. It felt like a genuine Irish welcome throughout the stay. Breakfast deserves a special mention – freshly prepared, with a wide selection of delicious options, including homemade breads and pastries. The dining room itself was cosy and elegant, adding to the overall experience. Overall, Ariel House is a gem of a hotel – perfect for both business and leisure travellers who appreciate comfort, character, and exceptional service. I would highly recommend it and look forward to returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Ariel House. It was the perfect place to land after a transatlantic flight, and we were so grateful the staff allowed us to check in early--the nap felt soooo good before we went exploring the city. Plus, I had mentioned to the manager that we were coming to Ireland to celebrate my son's graduation, and he went above and beyond with a card and welcome dessert. Look at the pics! The breakfast was outstanding, and the servers could not have been more kind. The location was perfect, as it's away from the noise of the city but a 2-minute walk to the DART train that drops you right in the middle of it all. We stayed here two nights and then traveled around the country. Throughout our travels we kept coming back to Ariel House as one of the highlights. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
My kids loved their Nutella pancakes!
The drawing room was a wonderful place to relax and get to know other guests. Plus: unlimited coffee and tea!
Such a beautiful building.
Ariel House's breakfast is fantastic, served by some of the friendliest waitstaff you'll ever meet!

Beautiful hotel. We were upgraded as it was our anniversary. The only issue we had was that the shower didn't get hot so cold showers every morning. We reported it on the first day but it was never resolved, otherwise I would have given the hotel 5 stars

Absolutely beautiful place, so homely and quaint. Extra little touches you don’t get elsewhere, like a gorgeous lounge room with free homemade cakes, biscuits and coffee/tea or lemonade etc all day for guests. Really lovely helpful staff and they made it so personal and friendly. Breakfast is 2 courses and made to order of many options plus a buffet of pastries etc in a delightful sunny breakfast room. Rooms are tastefully decorated with kettle. Highly recommend.

This was by far one of the best stays I have ever had in any Europe vacation. The breakfast was amazing and the service equal. The train stop was less than a block away and we could get to anywhere from there. The staff was extremely helpful and the rooms were very comfortable. If I ever get back to Dublin, I will definitely try to make this our stay.
