EuroCheapo review print this page

Don't be turned off by the artless blue and yellow light-up sign out front. The brown brick Abbott Lodge has a pleasant, homey atmosphere inside—a cut above many of the blah guesthouses lining Lower Gardiner Street.

Two years ago, two B&Bs were combined to created the present-day guesthouse, which has three floors and 30 rooms. Though not classically "antique" or super stylish, the Abbott's rooms are definitely cheerful, if somewhat cramped, and you can tell the place is well cared for.

Vibrant colors characterize the nicely furnished bedrooms, which have sturdy-but-sweet mahogany furnishings and brightly colored walls. Reminiscent of a country cottage, the recently refurbished kitchen and dining rooms are done up in the same pleasant style.

As for location, the Abbot is right up there with the rest of the Lower Gardiner crew: it's close to shopping, the Liffey, and, of course, not terribly far from the infamous Temple Bar scene.

About the Abbot Lodge neighborhood

Gardiner Street begins just above the Liffey, shooting north from the Custom House, a behemoth of an 18th-century building just east of Butt Bridge and across the water from Trinity College. Though Gardiner Street eventually becomes residential (and a little run-down), the lower portion is populated almost entirely by hotels and bed-and-breakfasts. Though not particularly scenic, Gardiner Street Lower offers proximity to the Henry Street and O’Connell Street shopping areas, as well as to Busaras and Connolly stations, Dublin's main train stations.
