We recently stayed two nights at Aberdeen Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone at Aberdeen is exceedingly helpful and friendly, particularly Pat, Bernadette, and Ann. The detailed maps given to us of the area were of tremendous use, and the restaurant recommendations were perfect (particularly the Merrion Inn -- we miss it already and only wish we could have brought it back to NY with us!). I've been to Dublin twice before but never to the Sandymount/Ballsbridge area; I will now never stay anywhere else. It's a beautiful neighborhood to walk around, and only a very short DART ride right into the center of the city.
Our room (#20) was large, as was the bathroom (with the wonderful shower with particularly good water pressure). We were offered tea or coffee each time we arrived back at Aberdeen, served either in the guest lounge or in our room. Breakfast was also wonderful, with both a buffet of cereals, fruits, and pastries, and a menu of cooked selections to choose from.
There's plenty of off-street parking available, which was one less hassle to think about. All in all, a wonderful place in Dublin and one we'll certainly revisit.
