“A plasma wall mounted TV, but not a decent lamp or ceiling light!”

Fitzwilliam Townhouse

1 of 5 stars
Washington, DC
Jun 24, 2008

For $200 US, the stay was equivalent of a substandard, ill-appointed "midwestern" hotel, not that of a capital city, only one block from the home of Oscar Wilde! The reception staff was surly and un-responsive when I arrived on a rainy night after a long drive from Galway. He wanted to give me the worst room of choice--across from reception on the street level. When I inquired about a choice of a second, he told me that he had no responsibility to give me another option, when in fact one was available and I had to insist after an unpleasant conflict. That typified the two day stay. Most disappointing was that there was no decent reading light in the room. Literally I had to turn the tiny lamp on its side so as to get a light on to a written page. The ceiling light was a bulb and a chinese balloon shade--cute in the hippy days, but in a Dublin Georgian Townhouse? The place has the potential of being so great and nice, but falls terribly short. Of the 10 days in Ireland, tthis was the worst hotel or B&B experience-- which included a stay Donegal, Sligo, and Galway.
Galway being the finest accomodations. I was happy to leave the Fitzwilliam and would rather spend much more just to have a better experience.

“Cant wait to go back”

Fitzwilliam Townhouse

May 13, 2008

Hi this was our return trip to the guesthouse and we stayed for 5 nights in total and had a great time. It was being painted whilst we were there and was lovely and clean. The rooms were all recently done up, painted, new carpets, flat screen tv's etc. we couldn't fault it at all. Staff were great, and remembered us even though it was a few months since we were last there, and they couldn't do enough to help us. We will certainly be back, hopefully sooner rather than later.

“Repair, repaint and clean and it'll be a great place”

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed here for a few nights and can agree with all the other reviews, the location is brilliant and allows good access to the city, but (and it's a big but) the guesthouse is dirty, with peeling paint and a general air of disrepair.
Sorry to say, I won't go back and won't be recommending it.

“Home from Home”

Fitzwilliam Townhouse

5 of 5 stars
Manchester
Apr 21, 2008

I was very impressed with the overall ambience of the premises. On arrival I met a charming young lady who made me feel at home straight away. Very central for my touring around Dublin, beds very comfortable so good night sleep. Felt good sleeping in such an historic building. Big Irish fry-up in the morning and I was ready for the day. It has free wireless access which I didn't expect from a small premises in Dublin.

“Quiet Comfort in Dublin”

Fitzwilliam Townhouse

4 of 5 stars
Philadelphia
Apr 6, 2008

My husband and I were on the fence about staying outside of the bustling Temple Bar area, but we were ultimately very glad to avoid the noise and crowds by staying just off of St. Stephen's Green at Fitzwilliam. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean and warm. Even in our street-level room, noise was minimal. The staff was also quite helpful and accommodating.
