After leaving the B&B in Dublin where we were treated just like family. We were extremely disappointed with the hospitality we received (or should I say didn't receive) at Shandon Bells. The hostess that served us breakfast in the morning didn't have much of a personality. Our room was at the very top of the house and it was extremely... more

GREAT LOCATION with a pub called Reidys just 2mins away that has won the award for Best Irish Pub just last year, with all... more
