Excellent hospitality, delicious breakfast, stylish but comfortable rooms in a convenient location. This was our 5th visit and we'll be back.

We were extremely pleased with Number 31. The owners were very personable and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfasts were delicious and very filling. We didn't need lunch! We received a personal touch that you don't often find when traveling. Upon arrival, we were greeted with coffee,tea and cookies while waiting a short time for our rooms. the rooms were large, comfortable and nicely appointed. The price was a little more than I am used to paying but well worth it. Our visit was great.

Delicious breakfast. Nice garden.
Gerardo Lopez on 18-Apr-2012:
One of the best stays we've ever had while on vacation. Our only regret is that we couldnt stay here longer. If our travels take us back to Dublin, we will definitely be booking at Number 31 again!
Marsha Meyer on 18-Apr-2012:

You couldn't ask for a nicer breakfast or more friendly host!
Leland de la Durantaye on 15-Apr-2012:
it is a lovely place run by lovely people. ideally located and beautifully appointed. this is often mentioned in its reviews but is worth repeating--the breakfasts are amazing. could not more highly recommend.
Philippe Nowak on 9-Apr-2012:
I spent a fantastic week end there. The owner and staff are very welcoming and I ate one of the best breakfasts in years. From the very first moment, everything was done to make me feel like at home. Good location too. If I ever go back to Dublin (hope so), I will definitely be staying there.

We were very pleased with our room, bed, and the attentive services of the staff. An interesting and fun place to stay, convenient to St. Stephens Green and Grafton Street.

Ein Kleinod! Die Zimmer im Georgianhouse sind neu renoviert (inkl. "natürlicher Belüftung" aufgrund der typischen Fenster), die Lounge könnte eine kleine Überarbeitung vertragen, aber alles wunderbar herzlich und angenehm. Wir habe uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Hotel Guest on 26-Oct-2011:
Fabulous breakfast, excellent location, very helpful, welcoming staff and host.
Stephan Schneebeli on 4-Oct-2011:
Very friendly staff. Reports of defects are accepted. Great choice for breakfast. If coming back to Dublin, we'll certainly choose Number 31 again.
Hotel Guest on 5-Sep-2011:
Our stay was absolutely wonderful, aside from the beautiful room and delicious breakfasts the hosts were amazing. We ended up getting stuck in Dublin because of canceled flights and they were so accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Dublin. Only a short walk to St. Stephens Green too!
Angela Brown on 10-Aug-2011:
Lovely property to spend the night in. Also so nice to be able to leave the car and walk into the city. Breakfast was very good.
Hotel Guest on 30-Jul-2011:
Our first two nights in Ireland were spent at Number 31. What a fantastic entry into a country as a result. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and generous and his staff were cheerful and more than willing to go out of their way to make our experience top notch. We agree with Rick Steves comment in his 2011 Ireland travel guide, that Number 31 is worth breaking the bank and booking a stay. It was a fabulous entry into the country and we couldn't have been happier! Signed: A Seattle couple celebrating their 36 and 37 wedding anniversary by staying two nights at Number 31.
David Wright on 30-Jul-2011:
Everything was fine especially the breakfasts, the friendliness and helpfullness of the staff and location. Unfortunately our room was on the top floor which made access a little difficult for us but we coped and kept fit as a result. It was the most expensive guest house /hotel that we stayed in during our holiday and on balance given its location the room facilities, and the brilliant breakfasts, just about worth the extra.
Sandy Adzick on 26-Jul-2011:
Number 31 is a wonderful find! Love the warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. It felt like Noel had invited us into his home. He and his staff greeted us each morning as we enjoyed our delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, our favorite. It's a lovely 15 min. walk through St. Stephen's Greens to Dublin center. It was just perfect!
james campbell on 20-Jul-2011:
The staff is friendly. The host is charming. And both are helpful. The architecture of the townhouse where the bedrooms are is beautiful. The interiors are clean but a bit spare and the lighting and layout of the modern and expensively fitted-out bathrooms could be better. The breakfast each morning was generous and delicious. This is not really a bed & breakfast or a hotel, but the best of both. The location is just outside of the town center and price was reasonable.
Carolina Ramazzina Van Moorsel on 20-Jul-2011:
When we are living far from home, or even when we're traveling abroad, there are times that we need to feel at home. That's the reason why not only we chose to go to Number 31, as it is the reason why I will recommend it for all people that I know that are traveling to Ireland. We found in this guest house all the hospitality and the warm that we needed. Not only all the staff that received us was awesome, making us feel as we could and should feel at home, as the breakfeast, the organisation of the bedroom, the location, etc, made us have a great time at Dublin and a perfect rest. I shall recommend that place not only as a good guest house, but also as a great place to recover the charges when we are in need. We hope to be able to get back soon to have a taste of the greatest red fruits and pottage we have ever had.
SHEILA BREMNER on 20-Jul-2011:
What a fabulous place with the warmest welcome I have ever known and the breakfast really is the best! Perfect in every way.
Hotel Guest on 20-Jul-2011:
The stay was wonderful. The room was comfortable and well maintained. The wi-fi service and quality of the shower far exceeded other similarly priced hotels in Europe. I appreciated the advice on tourist hotspots. Breakfast was always a highlight. Your coffee is wonderful. Thanks for making my stay in Dublin a pleasure.
mary dowd on 18-Jul-2011:
We enjoyed our accomodations at No. 31; our superior room was spacious, clean and comfortable; thje garden courtyard is lovely; the breakfast dining area, particularly the sun room, is charming; breakfast was very good. The architectural history of the building is noteworthy. Linda, the property manager, was helpful and knowledgeable.
Jay Stone on 16-Jul-2011:
We arrived at Number 31 just after 10 a.m. after a gruelling overnight flight from Canada, and we were greeted with warmth, a room (it was ready!) and an offer of breakfast — the first of many delicious breakfasts we enjoyed in this architecturally delightful hotel (old Ireland meets modernist design). I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
Melanie McLennan on 15-Jul-2011:
Very comfortable rooms, excellent choices for breakfast and the friendliest (and most helpful) staff I have encountered in a long time. As a middle aged woman travelling alone, I felt very well cared for. Thank you very much!
sandro marchesan on 15-Jul-2011:
Ottimo tutto sotto ogni punto di vista. Eccezionale la prima colazione, l'accoglienza, la cortesia del personale e la pulizia della stanza. Arrivederci a presto.
Vivienne Kwong on 15-Jul-2011:
One of the best boutique hotels I have ever stayed at. The rooms are fabulous; the breakfast is the best; and service is superb!
James O Arnold on 13-Jul-2011:
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Number 31. Every detail of our stay was seen to by Noel and his wonderful staff. Any return to Dublin will include a stay at this charming accommodation!
Hotel Guest on 12-Jul-2011:
Great personal service and lovely breakfast. The location is good, nice & quiet but close enough to the centre
Hotel Guest on 12-Jul-2011:
Fantastic hospitality and breakfast. Request a quiet room if traffic noise is an issue, Dublin doesn't sleep! We'll return.
Irene and Markus Boyer on 8-Jul-2011:
It was our first meeting with irish people and we were so surprised about the warm welcoming with a big pot of loose tea (one of the only, we got during our 3 weeks stay in Ireland), all the explanations about where to go in Dublin were very helpful. The breakfast was just delicious and we enjoyed the possibilities to talk to different interesting people. We will recommend the Nr. 31 to all our friends. Thank you very much Irene and Markus Boyer, Switzerland
Hotel Guest on 7-Jul-2011:
Number 31 was a really good choice. The Rooms are clean and look really nice. For the breakfast you can choose between different options and the food was excellent.
Catherine Cavanaugh on 6-Jul-2011:
My friend and I stayed at Number 31 in June 2011. It was my first trip to Ireland and I wanted a "gentle" first few days in Dublin while enjoying the city's "Old World" ambience. Number 31 gave us all of that and more. I was greeted warmly by our host whose friendly and generous attention continued throughout our 3 day stay. The hotel staff were equally warm and attentive. Our room was very comfortable; large, open, airy with a cosy sofa and easy chair to relax in after a long day of exploring. An additional lovely touch was a full breakfast in the conservatory. A Great way to start the day. Even in the rain I enjoyed the courtyard garden. Noel and his staff provided exactly the easy entry into the delights of the city that I was looking for and I appreciated being within easy walking distance of so many main attractions. I recommend Number 31 highly. Thank you to all at the hotel for making my introduction to Dublin so pleasant.
Hotel Guest on 29-Jun-2011:
Location very good. Rooms clean and nice. Breakfasts outstanding. Owner friendly and efficient. A small haven in a bustling city. Two thumbs up!
Michael Hayward on 27-Jun-2011:
I can honestly say N0 31 was extremely nice, very friendly, helpful and a wonderful place to stay. I rate N0 31 as the best we have stayed in for many years. Will certainly come back in the future
Joachim Wehner on 24-Jun-2011:
This is it - look no further when searching for a place to stay in Dublin. The house and the rooms are wonderful, the breakfast is magnificent, and the staff are very friendly, efficient and go the extra mile. In one word: perfect!
Dominique LADRETTE on 24-Jun-2011:
We really enjoy to stay at Number 31. People are very nice and take care to any of your request. Rooms are comfortable and decorated with beautiful furnitures. Thank you Number 31!
Maria Teresa Destro on 18-Jun-2011:
This was my 2nd stay at Number 31, and again I loved it! They are so warm, so helpful and always in good mood! Thanks guys for everyting!
james brooks on 18-Jun-2011:
To arrive at 10:30 am from an overnight flight and be offered a delicious breakfast while our room was made ready, was wonderful hospitality. My only criticism is that our first floor room was a bit noisy being next to the entrance door the Fitzwilliam street.
Hotel Guest on 16-Jun-2011:
Best breakfasts on the sweetest sun patio, host is welcoming and helpful,our room was on the street with traffic noise a bit on the loud side but just bring earplugs to solve that. We liked being on the neighborhood side of St Stephen's green. Great little cafe around the corner for dinner(rec. by inn owner) Bus to airport and everywhere else nearby. Perfectly lovely.Great start to Dublin sightseeing.
Hotel Guest on 14-Jun-2011:
I cannot say enough about Number 31! Noel was so welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Rooms were immaculate and well-maintained. Very charming hotel. The breakfast was delicious. Definitely one of the most enjoyable stays I've ever had.
KATE GUITTON on 12-Jun-2011:
Number 31 was a great find, we were charmed by the warmth of the welcome and hospitality we received during our stay, and impressed by the high standard and originality with which the hotel is decorated. I would definitely return on my next trip to Dublin.
James Dolan on 11-Jun-2011:
Staying at Number31 was excellent, truly a pleasure. The owners and the staff made us feel very welcomed and nothing we asked for was too much trouble. The room was nicely furnished, large and quiet. We definitely plan to stay there on our next trip.
Hotel Guest on 5-Jun-2011:
Our welcome was warm and personal, the room was fabulous and the breakfast was lovely. Noel gave us a map and tips for walking around to see the sights and fun places for dinner. We had a great time.
Tom Vetterlein on 2-Jun-2011:
Wonderful greeting on arrival with relaxing coffee and cookies while preparing for further installment in room. Extremely relaxed and familiar atmosphere. All guests feel like part of a family away from family. Breakfast was great, especially the porridge. If you want to stay where you get to meet the other guests and feel like a member of the family, this is the place in Dublin!
William Scannell on 2-Jun-2011:
Noel was so gracious and hospitable as was all of the staff. Breakfast was outstanding! Would highly recommend for anyone traveling to Dublin.
Jane Mathews on 31-May-2011:
We had a great stay. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. The guest house was wonderful and the breakfast delicious -the best we had in Ireland and Scotland.
