Fine and fit for purpose. Bit expensive, but maybe that was the weekend we hit Dublin, too much demand.

Camera un po' piccola per due persone ma confortevole. Bagno in camera molto piccolo, ma c'è tutto il necessario per soggiornare pochi giorni. Cambio asciugamani e pulizia camera quotidiani. Colazione è prevista solo come extra. Pozione buona, a 30 min di cammino dal centro: il cammino è gradevole, comunque la zona è servita molto bene dagli autobus.

Very nice visit. The proprietor couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, the room was large (by Euro B&B standards) and clean, the bed was comfy, and the location--while not right in the thick of things--was reasonably convenient.

Cute Neighbourhood Accommodation
I stayed at Acara House for 3 nights. The hostess Elizabeth and her mum Helen were very accommodating. The room was small but with a comfortable bed and TV. It was a really good choice for a cheap stay. The breakfast facilities were adequate for those with non dietary requirements. Overall pleasant place to stay, only down side was the room wasn't as clean as I would have liked.

Zeer simpele B&B...
Niet zo propere B&B, primitieve, kleine kamers, sanitaire voorzieningen proper maar zeer gedateerd.
Men vraagt vooraf betaling, integenstelling met wat website vermeldt, geen afrekening gekregen.

Amazing time
Our friends stayed in temple and didn't sleep well because of the noise. Acara house is 20 mins walk and in such a quiet area! The landlady is lovely and gave us a room as soon as we arrived.

Well positioned
A budget B and B with reasonable but basic facilities. We found the area very handy and Elizabeth most accommodating. The room was small and the ensuite requires dexterity.

Piccola casetta
Stanza e bagno piccoli, adatto per una coppia che deve solo dormire e poi sta tutto il giorno fuori! 20 min. a piedi dal centro zona tranquilla,

Perfect for those who don't mind walking
My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights. We loved the coziness and comfort. We don't mind walking or getting to other parts of Dublin using the bus/rail system, so we were set. However, if you'd rather be closer to the downtown area and/or hate to walk or use PT - I suggest you stay closer to Connolly or Tara Street rail stations. Elizabeth was a wonderful hostess and didn't mind helping us out when we needed to. She also gave us our freedom of going out and coming back when we wanted to. Breakfast is 6 Euros (but definitely worth it to have a home-cooked meal). Overall - a pretty solid spot :-)

Lovely Little Cottage
Lovely little place and Liz was incredibly helpful and kind. Clean room and On-Suite bathroom (tiny but cute). Slept well in the Queen-sized bed. Couple of blocks to walk from the transit point, but never difficult.

Loved It!
This was a great stay! The room was really comfortable and Eliza couldn't have been nicer. It's about two blocks off a main bus line that runs from downtown to the airport, which was perfect for me. The bed was really comfy and I really enjoyed my stay.

Excellent
Our stay was excellent. The bathroom is a bit tight and small, but the bed was comfortable and the room was entirely to our liking. This is best for those seeking a simple stay, not for those looking for luxury. I would describe it in the whole as comfortable and relaxing.
