IVEAGH LODGE, Dublin

The property sits on Talbot Street in the city centre, putting Trinity College (13 min walk), Croke Park (2 km), the Irish Whiskey Museum (1 km), and EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum (800 m) within easy reach. Dublin Airport is 8 km away; direct bus routes 16 and 41 stop nearby. The Luas tram line is also a short walk away. The surrounding area includes a variety of restaurants and cafés within 0.5 km. The immediate street is busy and can feel less secure late at night, particularly north of the river, so sensible precautions are recommended.

Bedrooms in the Victorian building vary in size and condition, with some recently refurbished rooms offering modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. All rooms include free toiletries, an electric kettle, hairdryer, and flat-screen TV. Some double rooms have a tiled or carpeted floor. The property also offers family rooms and an apartment with a lounge, kitchenette, and washing machine (located across the road with check-in at Abbott Lodge). No rooms have a balcony. Upper-floor rooms involve climbing narrow stairs. The overall feel is basic and functional.

The only in-room refreshment option is a kettle with tea and coffee. There is no on-site dining of any kind. A wide selection of restaurants, cafés, and takeaways is within a short walk, including Murray's Bar, The Celt, Le Bon Crubeen, and 101 Talbot Street - all within 0.5 km. For breakfast, guests can visit nearby bakeries such as Sunrise Bakery (0.5 km) or other cafés. Planning meals and snacks in advance, or using the surrounding area for food, is essential.

Wi-Fi is available free of charge. The 24-hour front desk can store luggage for early arrivals or late departures. Cots can be provided on request. Pets are not allowed. No parking is available on the property. The nearest paid car park is Q-Park on Marlborough Street. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Maestro, and MasterCard. The building has no lift and the staircase becomes narrow on higher floors, which may be challenging for guests with mobility issues or heavy luggage.
