On arrival we thought that this hotel was in a good location, within reasonable walking distance of main visitor areas of Dublin. The communal areas of the hotel (staircases etc) were shabby and not very clean. The room itself though was clean and there was plenty of tea and coffee. The biggest issue was noise, particularly late at night and... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Glen for one night. When we made the booking we requested a room on a lower floor, due to difficulties with stairs. However, on arrival we found we had to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to our room, and when we commented on this to the man at the desk he... more

We stayed in a room out the back in the purpose built block. The room was small but clean and the bathroom was lovely - the shower was amazing. The only mirror was in the bathroom so impossible to dry your hair with no mirror. Breakfast was served in a dining room that was too small - we had to... more

My wife and I stayed at the Glen Guesthouse for 2 nights. Good value for the money for a centrally located hotel. Something to keep in mind: 1.Rooms are not equipped with the following items- alarm clocks, hairdryers and irons, because staff kept losing them to previous guests. But they may have them at the front desk. However, rooms are... more

We booked it and thought it was good value for money THEN read the reviews and wished we hadn't. HOWEVER we were pleasantly surprised, we stayed in the back block and the room was fine, it was cleaned and tidied every day we were there, towels changed, bedding made, tea restocked. The room wasn't the largest but the was room... more

We have just come back from a short stay in Dublin and all I can say about this guest house is that it was OK. We stayed in the new block at the rear of the building which is still in the process of being built. I am not convinced that the fire alarms were working properly as there were... more

The last time I stayed in Dublin, it was in a wonderful B&B that was about 15 minutes bus ride from the city centre. This time around, I wanted somewhere centrally located. The Glen Guesthouse is a 5-minute walk from the city centre and has pretty nice views of the city from the 5th floor bedroom windows. But that is... more
