The three-star, 22-room Anchor Guesthouse, which is situated at the south end of Lower Gardiner Street's hotel hub, features a subtle nautical theme. It's most definitely a well-run ship with a convenient location and a friendly staff.

While the Anchor's exterior is late 19th-century brick, the interior is à la today, with cheerful yellow walls and modest wood furniture. And like many of the Georgian house-hotels in Dublin, the Anchor is comprised of a more than 200-year-old building in the front and a separate, newer "purpose-built" building in the back. The pros and cons of each are pretty self-evident. The newer extension has an elevator and is accessible by car from a back alley. There's no ramp to the original home, and windows are quaintly original, read: not soundproofed. Many of the hotel’s rooms also offer views of the back parking lot (and not much else).

About the The Anchor Guesthouse 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.
