I had recommended Number 31 to a work colleague after seeing a review of it somewhere. He loved it so I thought I would try it for myself whilst I was in Dublin on business. I was not disappointed. A very charming boutique hotel - lovely welcoming arrival - the candles are a lovely touch in the public areas. The... more

A lovely, quirky place with a warm welcome from Noel and family. Lovely rooms, super breakfast, good location, fascinating history and architecture. Only thing that could improve is the lighting, rooms moody and for women, tough to find somewhere to make-up. A wonderful base to explore Dublin. more

We recently spent 5 nights at No. 31, in a family room for 3. The breakfasts are justly praised and the welcome by Noel (with tea and biscuits) very much appreciated. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom very chic if a bit impractical (no shelving units as mentioned by other posters). The poor lighting in the room made reading difficult.... more

On our arrival I thought Number 31 would be too far from the town centre, but soon realized it was in a great location. Off a quiet lane and not on a busy street as I noticed a lot of other small hotels. Noel and his beautiful wife and daughter as well as the rest of the staff were very... more

I booked this guesthouse after doing my research on this website and I was not disappointed. Having visited Dublin a couple of years ago staying in a chain hotel on O'Connell St I was keen to experience a different side to Dublin away from the tacky Temple Bar area,even if it meant paying a little more in an expensive city.... more

This is a real find, a lovely boutique-style hotel close to St. Stephens Green and the centre, yet far from the madding crowd. It feels like a home from home, run by a charming host, Noel, and his family. The home-made breakfasts are five-star, with a choice of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, kippers, cheese omelette or a full Irish... more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights. We were expecting a very nice hotel from all the reviews we had seen. It was all we expected and more. We arrived at 9 am from a flight from the US. Noel greeted us at the door and invited us for breakfast. While we ate, he made sure that our... more

The first thing you learn about Number 31 is that you are not a stranger; Noel greets you as though you are a valued return guest -- someone whose visit has been eagerly anticipated. An early arrival meant we didn't expect to be able to check in, but we did hope the hotel could store our luggage. We were welcomed... more

Positives: 1. Great location, within walking distance of shopping/sites of interest/restaurants, but on a quiet street. 2. Lovely, warm welcome by host. 3. Fabulous breakfasts, superbly prepared, with attention to detail. 4. Nicely appointed room with large comfortable bed and nice linens. 5. Beautiful, architecturally interesting property. Negatives: 1. Bathroom not well thought out - too small, and absolutely no... more
