Just outside of Dublin's city center, Waterloo House is the perfect place for a quieter, mature crowd. Extended over two adjoining Georgian houses, it's very charming, from the winding hallways to the 17 stately rooms. Best of all, its rates are well below the average for a hotel of this caliber.
The yellow walls and rich blue carpets of Waterloo House's entryway first appear fussy, in what we might assume is an effort to coordinate its interior with Ranelagh, the posh residential hood outside its walls.
But the rooms themselves aren't quite of this mold. They are straightforward, decorated in pleasing neutral tones. Yellow walls and dark carpeting set the tone. A few splashes of brighter color can be found in chair upholstery among other places. Furnishings will remind Americans of Ethan Allen, in a period reproduction kind of way.
On balance, Waterloo House is a business category hotel, with charm to spare. The back garden provides another draw. Its picturesque little gazebo invites summertime lollygagging. We defy you to resist its charms.
