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.	report this review as inappropriate

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.	report this review as inappropriate

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.	report this review as inappropriate

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.	report this review as inappropriate

I was taken to the Ariel House as a surprise birthday treat and thought it was amazing, very easily found, right outside the dart station, beautiful four poster bed, plasma tv, didn't hear an noise even though our room was very near dining room.

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)	report this review as inappropriate

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.	report this review as inappropriate

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! :)	report this review as inappropriate

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.

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.	report this review as inappropriate
