- Laurent (10/5): - Tout Rien
- Massimo Daniele (10/5): -
- Anne (8/5): -
- Stanislav (10/5): - Location, Location, Location.
- Angeliki (6/5): -
- Carrington (8/5): - We had wonderful nights of singing! Then popped upstairs to bed! We were delayed getting in the the staff took amazing care of us, even getting us food once the kitchen was closed.
- Giovanni (8/5): -
- Bozhidar (10/5): - Clean and comfortable room in a good location. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pub under the room was probably the best pub I visited in the city with live Irish music in some of the nights. I definitely recommend it for people who want to experience Irish culture.
- Michael (8/5): - Great location Had to change room as door lock was broken
- Costanza (9/5): Soggiorno confortevole in un autentico pub storico di Dublino - esperienza da provare! - Stanza pulitissima e accogliente. Posizione centrale e perfetta per visitare la città a piedi o con i mezzi . Il fascino di alloggiare in un pub storico di Dublino - una pinta e musica meravigliosa appena usciti dalla porta della camera! C'è stata una certa difficoltà a comunicare con lo staff e avere informazioni su check in-check out. Le stanze sono direttamente sopra il pub e non esiste una vera e propria reception, bisogna rivolgersi ai camerieri/baristi - il momento arrivo/sistemazione è stato un po' confuso, compreso un cambio camera all'ultimo minuto.
- David (10/5): -
- Mark (6/5): I’m never going back !! - Great location - The unrelenting NOISE until 2am on Saturday and Sunday morning makes any kind of sleeping impossible. I’d never stay there again, nor recommend the venue to anyone else.
- Ricard (10/5): -
- Louisa (10/5): Great staff and great location - Great location, easy access to where we wanted to go Nothing
Can hear the bar downstairs at times but didn’t bother us
- Penny (10/5): Great location, lovely building, room clean and nice and staff lovely. Would definitely go back. - Great location and lovely room. Staff really helpful. We were on the top floor so lots of stairs but worth it for stopping in the lovely historic pub.
- Teresa (10/5): -
- Emma (9/5): - The ambience and the room were perfect, so clean. The stairs are difficult if you are infirm or with limited mobility.
- Donna (10/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): - Great location, clean rooms, charming pub
- Elisabeth (4/5): Good location, not a restful stay. Too noisy. - The location was great. The room was neat with a comfortable bed and a nice shower. - The noise from people outside prevented me sleeping well. I kept getting woken up. Late at night and early in the morning every so often there would be what sounded like bottles being dropped into a big bin or something. The walls were not soundproof in the slightest. I could hear every single word the people in the room next to me were saying and they weren’t talking loudly.
- Despite the fact that there was a phone and fridge advertised, neither of those things were there. I particularly wanted a fridge.
- the room was very hot with no way to change the temperature
- The very narrow staircase is very hard to manage with a suitcase.
- conor (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - Bellissima camera sopra un pub storico. Posizione centrale ottima per muoversi a piedi. Nonostante il pub fosse molto frequentato non c'erano problemi di rumore in camera. Personale gentile.
Molto originale e super consigliato!
- Annalisa (10/5): - Posizione perfetta. Le stanze si trovano sopra uno dei pub più famosi (molto bello) e nonostante la vita notturna non abbiamo avuto problemi a riposare.
- Trevor (9/5): Great location, comfy room - Location, comfy room, great service N/A
- Mary (7/5): - Conveniently located to everything Very loud from bar downstairs

Rooms were great.
Perfect location.

- Amber (8/5): - Great location, everything was walkable ! Great bar down stairs, staff super helpful . Sounds of all the kegs in the am, to warm to close windows.
- Maria (10/5): Amazing - It was very central, such friendly staff ! The property had everything you could possibly need for a night in Dublin and it was great value for money. Would highly recommend
- Matias (10/5): -
- Oliver (9/5): -
- Steven (6/5): - Location was good to walk to all attractions. Room was comfortable. Shower was cold. Closing the window kept out the noise from the bar but made the room very hot.
- Ana Elena (7/5): -
- Camila (9/5): -
- Paul (7/5): -
- Tom (10/5): Warm and cozy and a perfect location for a Dublin getaway. - I loved having a pub right below us and being within walking distance of all Dublin’s best. Nothing
- J (7/5): - De ligging in het centrum en de locatie boven een beroemde pub. De prijs in relatie tot het gebodene. De kamers zijn 2-sterrenniveau. Voorzieningen zijn beperkt.

- Clare (8/5): -
- Niall (6/5): -
- Stacey (8/5): - Great location. Good size room. Clean warm and comfortable. Ideal
- Pierre-yves (7/5): Hôtel sympa au dessus d'un pub irlandais typique - Bon emplacement, pas trop éloigné du quartier de Temple Bar, en 5 minutes à pied. Au dessus d'un pub bruyant, le bruit ne nous a pas dérangé. Atypique et charmant, petit hôtel idéal pour un week-end. La connexion wi fi ne marche pas.
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Christine (9/5): - Location, super friendly staff, in the middle of everything. There are a lot of narrow stairs, we were on the top floor. Water noise when other toilets are flushed is very loud.
- ANDRE (7/5): Recomendo para quem quiser estar próximo da vida noturna e restaurantes em Dublin - Localização Algum barulho por ser ao lado de um pub
- Klaus (9/5): -
- Helen (7/5): If location is high on your list, this is a good place. - Owner and staff was welcoming and helped with the luggage. Location was good. Room was adequite. Stairs are very narrow to the rooms. We were fine, it, but people with mobility issues may want to take it into consideration.
- Ben (8/5): -
- Ward (10/5): - Had another great time at O' Donoghues.
Will be visiting again very soon
All the staff were helpful and friendly.
Atmosphere was amazing
Thankyou
- Cornelis (9/5): - Het personeel was super vriendelijk en bood alle mogelijkheden om bagage te stallen en eerder in te checken. Ook de rest van het weekend was iedereen super vriendelijk. Daarnaast goede bedden, ruime kamers en een top locatie. Niks
- Joe McLaughlin (9/5): -
- Jamie (9/5): Perfect plek om Dublin te verkennen - Schoon comfortabel kamer met een geweldig douche. En perfect Guinness en muziek beneden in de kroeg. Niks
- Jason Tungate (10/5): -
- Valérie (7/5): Globalement bien passé, staff, agréable, c’était très bien. - La literie était très confortable Àabsence de frigo dans la chambre et embout du sèche cheveux ne tenait pas.
- Valérie (8/5): Très bien. - La proximité avec le centre-ville, le staff, agréable, la literie confortable, le café et le thé avec la bouilloire à disposition tous les jours. Ménage quotidien et serviettes propres tous les jours. Pas grand chose :)
- Tobias (9/5): -
- Klaus (10/5): -
- Patrick (6/5): -
- Tina (10/5): - Brilliant atmosphere No complaints at all.
- Cécile (8/5): Eine super coole Unterkunft - aber immernoch ein Pub - Wir haben uns auf anhieb sehr wohl gefühlt in unserem Zimmer. Wasserkocher, Teebeutel und Instantkaffee waren vorhanden. Bett war sehr bequem und due Decke wunderbar warm. Leider waren wir nicht oft unten im Pub und so haben wir vom Personal auch nicht viel mitgekriegt.
Wir hatten in der Nacht das Fenster ein wenig geöffnet. 2 bis 3x wurden die Glaskisten geleert.
- Perugini (9/5): - Struttura tipica e accogliente. Sopra uno dei pub storici di Dublino. Staff molto gentile e disponibile. Alla sera c’è la possibilità di ascoltare musica dal vivo nel pub. Camera spaziosa e accogliente. Bel bagno. Per quel prezzo mancano alcuni servizi come ad esempio le bajour. Prezzo alto rispetto a strutture simili. Presenti scale molto ripide per raggiungere la struttura.
- Christine (10/5): Loved it - Perfect location. Close to everything and wonderful pub
- Iurii (10/5): -
- Johanna (9/5): Zentrale Lage, "typisch irisch", sauber, unkompliziert - Gästezimmer über alteingesessenem, urigen Pub. Zimmer ausreichend groß (Doppelbett + Einzelbett) Badezimmer modern, sauber, sehr klein (für uns ok).
Personal freundlich und unkompliziert. Konnten Gepäck am Anreise- und Abreisetag im Pub lagern.
Zimmer nach vorne zur Straße - wir haben vom Trubel im Pub kaum etwas gehört.
Lage sehr zentral - fußläufig zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten, auch günstig gelegen zu vielen Buslinien (auch Flughafentransfer Airlink).
- Aurelio (1/5): LA HABITACION DE LA FAMILIA MONSTER - Lo unico que nos gusto fue la ubicacion La suciedad, lo viejo de la habiación, las escaleras, los muebles viejos y rotos
- MOHADE (8/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): -
- Lorraine (10/5): - Location Way to many stairs
- Edit (8/5): -
- Brendan (4/5): Great bar,but accommodation very average - Location. Noise from the bar below..Room not worth the price.
- Keith (8/5): Nice stay Dublin . - Nice stay in centre of Dublin. Great atmosphere and very central. Lots of stairs but if mobile ok.
- Denise (9/5): - Unique location and comfortable room. This was my second visit to O'Donoghue's. I plan to stay there again.
- Liam (10/5): Always a good stay and a great place to be. - The Guinness
- Sara (8/5): -
- Bob (9/5): Really enjoyed it and would use again - Location and character/vibe of the bar and accommodation Small shower space with folding door.
- Denise (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff, and room was comfortable. The rooms are a bit dated, but it actually adds to the charm.
- Paul (7/5): We enjoyed our stay mainly due to location. Very noisy due to pub below. You had to keep windows closed. - Perfect location. Needed a ceiling fan; Keeping windows closed was a must due to outside noise. Room was stark. No bedside lamps.
- Michael (8/5): -
