	The hotel staff was warm and friendly, and made our stay very pleasant, good rail link to Dublin city centre, no evening meals supplied, so we had to eat out every night, great restaurants only 15 mins walk, and all good food, will recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

	Ariel House was even more than we expected. The staff was extremely helpful, afternoon tea was very pleasant and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer. Cost of using in-house internet was expensive so we chose to use internet cafe instead. Thanks for pleasant memories of Dublin.

The room was great and the staff even better- Deridre was so helpful and kind. She really knows Dublin and can explain directions to anyone not familiar with the area- Really nice clean room- they even brought a bed down for me to the lower level as I am partialy disabled. AND GREAT BREAKFAST. We had a young child with us and the room was plenty big enough to keep him happy. The area around is nice and quiet-yet at the center of things. I would highly recommend The Ariel House as a very pleasent, warm and friendly place to stay!

Although we arrived before our rooms were ready, we were made very welcome and served with hot drinks and freshly made scones while we waited for our rooms. We really did appreciate this.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay, from the beautiful room (thank you for the upgrade, it was a very kind thing to do), to the superb breakfasts. The staff were all unfailingly polite, helpful and charming. We had some early tours, and the early breakfast provided made a great start for the day. The proximity to the DART and downtown, but still in a quiet and lovely suburban area was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to anyone needed a quiet place to stay in Dublin, but within very easy reach of Temple Bar and all the sights, with helpful staff and comfort.

Hotel Response:

Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely comments about Ariel House and the staff. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and your visit to Dublin. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we look forward to welcoming you back some day! Kind Regards, Deirdre McDonald

Very satisfied, the hotel offered a very personnel and informal service the reception desk was open and personal the staff responsive and keen to satisfy our needs. I have stayed in hotels all over the UK and they were among the most professional I have seen in a long time our only regret is that our stay was not longer. They have justified their ratings. PS I have only once witnessed a fire alarm test in a place I have stayed and thought it was an urban myth thanks for the reassurance.

Hotel Response:

Dear Susan, Many thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Ariel House. We are delighted that you and your family members had an enjoyable stay and look forward to welcoming you back to Ariel House at some stage in the future Kind Regards Deirdre McDonald

We had a wonderful stay at Ariel House and could not fault the customer service - everyone was always very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was also wonderful, with an amazing choice of cereals, breads, fruits, juices as well as hot meals. My only suggestion would be to get a room on the first floor instead of the ground floor as we could hear everything that was going on in the room above us. It wasn't too much of a problem as we had earplugs, but next time we would definitely ask for a quieter room.

We have stayed several times, and never had any problems. Good value, and located in a quiet enough area, with trains barely audible through the windows (at least in the rooms I've been in). Rooms are clean and quiet, and the breakfast is a straightforward buffet of juice, tea/coffee, fruit and cereal, with your choice of cooked-to-order items like full Irish or french toast. If you're close enough to reception you can pick up the free WiFi without leaving your room.

	Das Hotel ist top. Die Zimmer sind zwar etwas klein (im Anbau) aber sehr gepflegt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und der Service hervorragend. Ariel House ist ideal, wenn man nicht direkt im Zentrum sein muss (DART-Station nur 50m entfernt). Durch den Kinderrabatt erhält man ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

	the staff were great the food fantastic. The only negative was the door to our room had a dodgy handle and was very hardto open from in the room, they tried to fix it but could not,we were offered another room but as we were only there two days it was not worth it. I would stay there again.

	We have just spent the most fantastic time in Dublin, all of which was because of the excellent service and quality of accomodation at Ariel House. Would highly recommend the hotel, a little off the beaten track, but all the better for it.

Our room at the Ariel House was clean, comfortable and well-maintained. More importantly, the service from the staff was outstanding. We'd arrived from the airport very early in the morning and they provided us with an excellent breakfast and even managed to have our room ready well before the regular check in time. During our stay, they provided us with great recommendations for seeing Dublin and the surrounding area along with places to eat.

	We stayed upstairs, and the room was very nice. We stayed in downtown Dublin for 2 nights at another hotel. Ariel House was less expensive and was much nicer. It was such a treat. Even though it was not in downtown Dublin, but you could walk to downtown Ballsbridge in 5 minutes. You can walk to downtown Dublin in 20 minutes in the sun and about 30 minutes in the rain.

Staff professional, polite & friendly. As all the standard rooms were booked out on arrival I was put in a deluxe room with a 4 posted bed for the price of a standard double. Just fabulous & spotless! Prices are per room rather than per person which is much more aceptable. Breakfast included with a wide range. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there and would highly recommend it. Maura from Cork (28)

As a business visitor I found Ariel House perfectly adequate. It's extremely convenient for the RDS and for the DART station and is only a 20 minute walk from the Baggot St area, amongst other central area destinations. The room was large and well-furnished, the breakfasts excellent and the service friendly and courteous. However the condition of the bathroom did let things down a little - it could certainly have been cleaner and some tiles were hanging off. The shower was barely a trickle, though there was always plenty of hot water for the bath. I'd question the hotel's 4 star status - 3 would be more honest, though it was a relatively inexpensive stay as far as Dublin is concerned.

When we arrived, we were initially given a basement room which was rather dreary and didn't reflect what they showed you on the website or for what you'd expect for that kind of money. Especially as my booking had said 'superior room'. HOWEVER, they did move me when I asked and the second room was quite pleasant. The people are friendly and the breakfasts were good too. I would stay again, but be aware that B&B's are kind of different to Hotels in standard. They might want to compete a little more as it was similar to Jury's Inn prices I saw. I chose this because it was a little different. It was a good stay, but avoid the basement room! :)

	The staff, the breakfast, the location was excellent. The rooms on 21 and 22 June were great. I felt that the rooms , even though large during our second stay between 30 june and 3July were not as well kept. Which is why I have not given a 5 to the wonderfull place. (This review has been edited)

	If yo don'tlike noise, then request a bedroom at the front of the house as the Dart is very loud at the back!!! The staff were extremely attentive and helpful and I would definately stay there again! The television reception was not very good though, and I could only get a few channels which was a pity.
