EuroCheapo review print this page

The Grafton House Dublin is hip and smart: the perfect mix of "something old and something new." Situated in a brick building that was once part of a Victorian-era shopping complex, this 16-room guesthouse is close to all the Temple Bar action, but far enough away to keep the drunken revelers at bay.

Though gothic style reigns on the building's exterior, the interior offers a nod to contemporary design. Each of the Grafton's 16 en suite rooms (including one apartment) is decorated individually. Splashy '70s vintage-inspired wallpaper livens up just one wall of each room and has earned them nicknames from the staff, such as the TV room and the Aloha room. Funky lamps and modern art add to the contemporary feel, while fresh flowers and the occasional fireplace offer a touch of old-fashioned refinement.

Though not a full-on cheapie, we think the stylish Grafton is a cut above many of its peers. Plus, the central location can't be beat. And a note to vegetarians (or just those who prefer not to start their day by consuming blood sausage): the Grafton offers a meatless breakfast option.

About the Grafton House neighborhood

Bars, crowds, drinks, Irish music, bars, beer, pubs, drinks, Irish music, more people, more pubs. This is the place where tourists party in Dublin. Young and loud, Temple Bar is a raging place. Just south of the River Liffey and just west of the road leading to O’Connell Street, the Temple Bar area is smack-dab in the center of the action. Trinity College is just east of the expansive bar scene.
