O'Donoghue's offers a iconic Dublin experience, situated above the famous O'Donoghue's Bar and near St Stephen's Green. Guests often appreciate the modern, clean rooms with comfortable beds and tea/coffee facilities, and some rooms even include a fridge.

fresh linenfriendly staffcomfortable bed
The hotel location is great. It's close to many things. I like fresh linen in the room. I also like the free toiletries provided, they smell good. The traditional music was a highlight for me. It played at the bar downstairs. The bar staff was super friendly to us. I liked the helpful people I met. My room had good block out curtains. The bed was very comfortable. Being close to things was a plus.
The shower sometimes had cold water. Closing the window was good to keep out noise. Then, the room became very hot.

Traditional Irish Charm

I enjoyed live Irish music in the pub each night. I was able to sit close to the musicians. The atmosphere felt authentic and the staff was cute. It was a nice experience because the pub has rich musical history.
The street-facing room let in considerable noise late at night.
