Bottom Line
The five-room Tipperary House Dublin is a budget bed-and-breakfast with a homey atmosphere that’s located outside the bustle of the city center near Phoenix Park, but it's well serviced by public transportation. Private rooms have flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities -- some with private bathrooms -- while dorms have bunk beds and lockers. The rooms and bathrooms are small, however, with basic decor, and there's no air-conditioning nor elevator. A simple breakfast is included in the room rate, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout. For just a bit more, the Leeson Bridge House is a good alternative that provides a full Irish breakfast, free on-site parking, and the option of hot tubs or saunas in the rooms.

Scene
Homey bed-and-breakfast with some hostel-like dorms
Tipperary House Dublin occupies a 220-year-old building with Irish green trim and doors, its name painted across the white facade. The current owners have kept it within the family for over 45 years. A combination of a bed-and-breakfast and shared hostel rooms, the Tipperary House is a fun jumble of decorations, homey prints, and overstuffed furniture. Refurbished in 2013, it has wooden floors and hallways, a set of carpeted stairs (but no elevator), and a homey breakfast room that’s a clutter of hanging postcards, a large armchair, and wooden tables with gray-and-white polka dot tablecloths. A single gray fireplace and an antique wooden hutch give a hint as to the building's age. The Tipperary House Dublin draws a mix of budget travelers, including backpackers as well as families.
Location
Far from the bustle of the city center, but well serviced by public transportation
Tipperary House Dublin is just north of the River Liffey on the western edge of Dublin’s city center. This property has an ideal location for those wanting to be away from the bustle, but still close enough to access it by public transportation or a long stroll. It’s a five-minute walk to Dublin’s Heuston Station and three minutes to the tram line stop that runs in front of the hotel, giving easy access to the city center and such sites like Temple Bar and Trinity College (about 15 minutes via public transportation, or around a 25-minute walk). It’s a 13-minute walk to the Old Jameson Distillery and 14 minutes on foot to the Guinness Storehouse. The lovely Phoenix Park is just a six-minute walk away, where guests can also find the Dublin Zoo, about a 15-minute walk away. There are some restaurants and shops on surrounding streets. Dublin Airport is about a 20- to 40-minute drive, depending on traffic, or 50 minutes via public transportation.
Rooms
Small, homey rooms have flat-screen TVs, while dorms have storage lockers and bunk beds
This property offers private rooms with en-suite bathrooms as well as hostel-like dorm rooms with bunk beds. Some rooms have shared bathrooms. Soft colors and pleasant, vintage-like decor includes lilac walls and polka dot, floral, or plaid bedspreads. Rooms are small but well-maintained, and include tea- and coffee-making facilities and free Wi-Fi. Private rooms have flat-screen TVs, while shared dorm rooms have lockers for guests to store belongings. However, rooms aren’t air-conditioned. Though the hotel advertises triple glazed rooms, try to choose a room in the back of the building for a quieter stay. En-suite bathrooms are tiny with small showers, while rooms that share bathrooms have in-room sinks. There’s not much in the way of toiletries besides wall dispensers of hand soap. Some bathrooms look a bit worn around the edges and corners.
Features
Free basic breakfast, baggage storage, and free Wi-Fi
