Clifden HouseEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Clifden House benefits from an aesthetic consistency. The B&B, located adjacent to Upper Gardiner Street, never underwent a dramatically modernizing renovation, and as a consequence the building’s original Georgian pedigree remains virtually untouched. This translates into ceilings that stretch into the heavens and preserved period detailing.

Fifteen rooms, very simple furnishings and a homey atmosphere give the Clifden House a scrappy vibe. All rooms have private bathroom facilities, along with a TV, telephone and tea and coffee making facilities.

The low rates, which rival the least expensive guesthouses in Dublin, are a huge plus, as is the friendly staff. Additionally, the Gardiner Place location is great for visitors hoping to obtain a sense of a less touristy, more contemplative Dublin.

Rates do not include breakfast. There is a charge for Wi-Fi and there is no elevator here. Guests who experience trouble with stairs should request a ground-floor room.
