My boyfriend and I have just come back from a pleasant week end in Dublin. Despite some little minors, we did enjoy our stay at the Ariel House. Although the hotel is not advertised expressely as ''gay friendly'', as gay couple we did not face any trouble at the Ariel House. The staff was in fact friendly, polite and helpful.... more

we stayed here for 3 nights along with 2 friends and we were lucky enough to get the room on the top floor overlooking the main entrance, which had 2 massive windows, a double and a single bed, with very extravagant bedspreads and headboards. the bathroom was medium sized and the water pressure in the shower was not great. the... more

We have just returned from a weekend at the Ariel House in Dublin. We found the hotel on the internet and what a gem! We flew out early on the Friday and were at the hotel by 10.30am. Upon arival we were asked to take a seat in the lounge and after 5 mins we were told our room was... more

We arrived at Ariel House at midnight due to flight to Dublin being delayed. The receptionist informed us that we were not on the booking list until the next day, even though we had a written confirmation that confirmed the date we arrived.

My husband and I, together with another couple, just returned from a 10-day stay at Ariel House, a warm and inviting Victorian mansion converted into a small hotel where Irish hospitality reigns supreme.

The breakfast choice was really good, although we just had cereals and fresh fruits. Summarized it was neither outstanding nor lousy, so 3 out of 5 seems pretty fair for... more

I was surprised to read the negative reviews about Ariel House as my husband and I had a very pleasant five-night stay there in March. I contacted the hotel directly and our reservation was efficiently booked. Once at the hotel, all of the staff with whom we had contact were friendly and helpful, including the gentleman at the desk who... more

Looks nothing like the website, staff not that friendly. Curtains hanging off the rails in my room for £80 quid a night not including breakfast. i thought it was horrible. We was staying via expedia and have a superior room, but for some weird reason we stayed downstairs, do not stay downstairs!!!! also our breakfast was included? so we got... more

I must agree with the some of the critics of Ariel house. The house looked wonderful when entering the recption area, but the rooms was a let down. Ours was big, but with a window that didnt open much. The room was very hot (and why? This summer hasnt been good to Ireland). The beds were gigantic (twin beds), but... more
