Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We purchased a room for 3 on booking.com and were quoted a price. By the time we paid it, it was doubled the price! We had a small room for 3 (twin beds), very small, tv had 2 channels, it was clean and had wi fi,bus stop right outside: so, there were nice things, but not worth what we could have paid in the city (more convenient for the price!). Also, how can you call yourself a bed and breakfast and then be asked to PAY for the breakfast additionally?

My husband and I stayed at the ABC B&B just over a week ago in Dublin. We were very disappointed with the room. The one bedroom apt.had no kleenex in it so we used toilet paper. It only had one garbage can that was in the bathroom. The bathroom was so tiny you could not fully turn around when on the toilet. The second day I had to leave a note for the house keeper to leave two clean bath towels as there was only one and there was still crumbs on the carpet from the day before. We had asked the host if he could call a taxi for us for the next morning as we were leaving on an early morning excursion and he said he would. That next morning, no taxi came and we waited for 15 minutes. We ran up a block to the Skylon hotel who gladly called a taxi which came within minutes, otherwise we would have missed our tour. The taxi driver we did get, told us that taxi's will not stop in the front of the ABC because of the bus stop. The next morning the host did not mention anything and we decided not to. Did he forget? We chose this place because most of the reviews were good. The morning we left, to catch a plane the host just said; 'See you later' We will never stay there again!

Response from GrandTour364466, Manager at ABC House
Responded 23 Oct 2019
Dear Catherine, Apologies that your room was not properly cleaned and missing a towel, we will ensure this does not happen again I am surprised the taxi didn't come for you as we regularly help our guests to book their taxis and I've never experienced a taxi not coming. Taxis are allowed to stop in front of our house to pickup/drop off guests. We are sorry that our accommodation wasn't suitable for you on this occasion but we hope that you enjoyed your trip to Dublin Best regards, Andre

There was good communication before we got there except they didn't tell me they only except cash payment so I have ended up with a huge cash advancement fee on my credit card. The place itself was lovely I think set over three buildings very clean and the rooms a good size however the showers were had to work I am not use to having to use a dial instead of taps on the shower. It was hot and the radiator kept coming on. The floor creaked badly above us with people walking about in there room. Breakfast was really nice with a good selection of breakfast items and with a very friendly host. The only other annoying thing is they never had a laundry for guest to use, we were desperate to wash some clothes and they could not even guide us to the nearest Laundromat. Also we did not need it but they have excellent parking option for people with cars. We travel by bus which was super quick and easy to get into Dublin and also getting a taxi was easy and about 8 euros.

The ABC House B&B was our introduction to Ireland. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fabulous! We enjoyed our stay. Andre was very attentive to all guests’ needs. Many residents called him by name, and all seemed happy at the B&B.

One minute shower gel & shampoo each for 2 nights, 3 t bags each, 1 biscuit each for 2 nights, never saw staff, had to pay in cash and the only local atm charged me €9 for withdrawing €200 without a warning. Tried to contact staff when nobody was in reception at the stated times by texting the number they gave but got no response: oh, and the WiFi password didn’t work for either of us.

Great location for access to downtown Dublin, right on a main bus line. Breakfast was nice and well presented with plenty of good food. Andre our host extremely hospitable and accommodating. Be aware that it is an old house and that the floors do creak but we did not hear any traffic noise in our unit #2 in #57.

I recently spent three nights at ABC House, two when i first arrived in Dublin and one on the night before I left. It is located along the bus route to and from the airport making it very convenient with stops right out front. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The breakfast in the morning offered a few options from full Irish to simply cereal or hot oatmeal. The bus to the city center is quick, and if you prefer to walk, it's about 25-30 minutes. And for me, a good way to get a good look at the neighbourhood. There are plenty of places nearby for a good meal or a pint. The staff was great. And it was very affordable. Highly reccommend.

We found ABC House a convenient and cost-effective base for exploring Dublin. While some distance north of the city, buses were regular and cheap with the Dublin Transport Tourist Card. The room was clean and adequate though small and bed comfortable. It included the usual facilities but could have had more shelving in the en suite. Breakfast was excellent and staff were very helpful.
