Located next to the Aviva Stadium, in the leafy suburbs of Dublin’s Ballsbridge district, this beautiful Victorian house offers stylish bedrooms and a sumptuous breakfast menu.

Over the years, Ariel House has become my 'Go To' Bed and Breakfast address in Dublin. In fact, if Ariel House is full, I would prefer to change my travel dates than to try to find alternative accommodation. I particularly like that it is situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood with a mix of gracious, tree-lined Georgian streets and pretty Victorian terraces. And only a short stroll from the Aviva Stadium and a DART stop and walking distance to the RDS and Dublin City Centre - if a walk appeals on a sunny day. Often being a solo female traveller, I feel very much at ease and safe when I venture out in the early evenings to dine in the nearby restaurants, or meet up with friends in a local pub. I really love the attention to detail and the quality of the interior decoration as well as the views over the garden to the back of the buildings. The dining area is very pleasant with some window tables enjoying views over the gardens and there is an abundance of choice of foods from both the buffet and the menu that offers different courses and vegetarian options. I have always found all the staff to be extremely attentive, welcoming, warm and friendly and they go out of their way to help out in any way they possibly can. Ariel House has become a home from home to me and over the years I have gotten to know some of the lovely staff.
