    We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and comfortable and Liz was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was in a good location with shops, restaurants and pubs nearby, and around a 25 minute walk into the centre, although buses are very easily accessible. We would recommend Acara House to others and would definitely stay here again :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME IN IRELAND

    Our stay at the Acara House was absolutely wonderful! From the minute my daughter and I got there until we left, Elizabeth was both warm and friendly and always willing and anxious to make us feel comfortable. The room was was very neat, clean and cozy and was tidy upon all of our returns. Elizabeth was always available to help or give advice and even went out our her to way to help us with our parking. I recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a wonderful stay in a convenient location and a very gracious host. She serves up a wonderful breakfast on request or has plenty of fresh fruit, cereals, bread, juice, coffee and jams or jelllies. Thank you Elizabeth for making our stay a memorable one!

    Das Zimmer war sehr klein, dass "Badezimmer" wenn man es so nennen mag noch kleiner. Das Mobilar war schon sehr abgewohnt und die Sauberkeit lies etwas zu wünschen übrig. Das Frühstück war o.K. Die Dame des Hauses war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ist gut.

    Devo dire che mi aspettavo di meglio

    Io e il mio compagno abbiamo soggiornato per 4 notti in questo b&b. Lo abbiamo trovato facilmente e la posizione è ottima, zona tranquilla con diversi locali anche per cenare o godersi una birra prima del rientro. A una mezz'ora dall'aeroporto con fermata del bus vicina. A buon passo in una mezz'ora a piedi si raggiunge il centro (zona Grafton St., per intenderci). L'accoglienza da parte di Elizabeth è stata ottima, ci ha salutati come se non stesse aspettando altri che noi. Inizialmente voleva darci una stanza al primo piano ma ha poi cambiato idea per non farci aspettare, dato che al quella doveva essere finita di sistemare. Ci ha dunque indirizzati verso la stanza al piano terra, accanto a quella per la colazione; molto carina, con un bel letto matrimoniale e lo spazio sufficiente per sistemarci. Il bagno piccolo ma tutto sommato gradevole. La proprietaria ci ha subito portato delle salviette pulite, essendosi accorta che mancavano e si è resa disponibile per qualsiasi evenienza. Dopodiché è scomparsa chiudendosi dietro una "private" door. (…continua)
