Reviews of Number 31
Dorit Wiedemann on 1-Nov-2011:
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

What a fabulous place with the warmest welcome I have ever known and the breakfast really is the best! Perfect in every way.

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.

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.

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!
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.

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

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.
Hotel Guest on 30-May-2011:
I liked the atmosphere and the house and garden very much. Everything is very tastefully arranged. Breakfast was very good, and especially nice in the winter garden room. Everybody was very attentive. I would certainly like to stay in number 31 again.
Jessica Boka on 30-May-2011:
Number 31 was recommended to me and I will be recommending it to everyone I know! The customer service was out of this world, the food was amazing and the property was beautiful! They go out of their way to ensure your stay is the best and it was! Thank you Number 31 for making our trip wonderful!
Kym Neville on 30-May-2011:
WOW! Such unexpected hospitality at Number 31 Leeson Close. Noel, Linda and their staff always ensure the best possible service and always with a smile, a laugh and a 'no problem' attitude. Perfectly located within a 5 minute walk to St Stephen's Green, a 10 minute walk to Dublin's City Centre, public transport around the corner and some lovely eateries around the corner. I highly recommend Number 31 and when I return to Dublin I will be staying here again. Thank you Noel and Linda :)
Katie McKelvey on 23-May-2011:
We had a wonderful stay at 31. Noels welcome was fantastic, the breakfast was everything it promised to be and the hotels proximity to Dublin Centre was ideal. A very smoothly run ship - we will be back!
Hotel Guest on 23-May-2011:
I wish there were such a lovely place in every town I travel to! Comfortable, cozy, quiet... just perfect!
Denise Fox on 22-May-2011:
What a wonderful experience upon reaching Dublin! Noel, the owner, is a gem and goes completely out of his way to make sure you are so welcome...helpful, funny, charming ....and ....and ...we were there for only a night, but would only stay there when we return! The room was fine, but the ambience is the best!...super breakfasts...Deidre, his wife, is a doll too...we adored all the other guests as well...tea in the afternoon and a fire waiting for us when we returned from a hard day of sightseeing...oh my...it was simply delightful...Noel is also a wealth of information on the entire country and was helpful in making sure we did all the right things while in Dublin and on our way to our next stop...a gem of a place!
Mario Mizzi on 17-May-2011:
My wife, Connie, and I very much enjoyed our stay at Number 31, Dublin, and would go there again. The bedroom in the Georgian House was very comfortable, breakfasts were lovely (especially the forest fruits) and Noel, our host, was always very helpful and charming. Moreover, it is central and only a very short walk away from St Stephen's Green, one of Dublin's lovely parks.
Hotel Guest on 11-May-2011:
Everything was perfect, from the hosts to the room and the breakfast!
Simon Gray on 4-May-2011:
A wonderful experience staying at Number 31. Excellent hospitality, all the way down to providing a fully cooked Irish breakfast to a weary jet lagged traveller arriving on the doorstep at 9 am.
Kevin Murphy on 4-May-2011:
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at your hotel. Everything was fabulous from check in to check out. The breakfast was great. We really appreciated the information about Dublin.

Julie Cutler on 30-Apr-2011:
Luxuriously appointed room, great location, very helpful staff and outstanding breakfast.
Douglas Kline on 29-Apr-2011:
We spent a wonderful weekend at Number 31 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our room was stylish and welcoming, as were the lounge, breakfast room, and garden. Breakfast was terrific, and our fellow guests were a real pleasure. Noel was a gracious and informative host, and the entire staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.
Hotel Guest on 28-Apr-2011:
The location was terrific--almost everything is walking distance and there was a bus stop right on the corner. The breakfasts were beautiful. The hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating.
Cynthia Millen on 28-Apr-2011:
Number 31 is my home in Dublin. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else, and I always drag my friends there. Of course, they fall in love with it too and want to stay there each time they come to Dublin. Noel and his staff truly care about their guests in the most lovely Irish way. There is nothing they won't do to make you feel welcome, comfortable and at home. Thank you Number 31. Until the next time I am home, take care!
Hotel Guest on 20-Apr-2011:
Enjoyable experience. Noel made us feel at home. Rooms were comfortable and homey, not like a typ. hotel. Breakfast was great. Would definitely consider staying here again when in Dublin next. Thanks.
Hotel Guest on 15-Apr-2011:
It was fantastic; Noel greeted me and put me immediately at ease. Comfy room; great breakfast. I will come back.
Anne McCall on 13-Apr-2011:
We stayed here for the last day of our Honeymoon, the breakfast was great! Everyone was very nice and the place seemed very casual like you were one of the locals. It was secluded from the other hotels in Dublin, which is what we were looking for. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Hotel Guest on 12-Apr-2011:
awesome place. would and have recommended to others traveling to Dublin.
Hotel Guest on 1-Apr-2011:
Dear Noel and Linda, Thank you for your warm and sincere hospitality. Every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. Both of you went beyond what is typical to meet all of our needs and wants. Noel and Linda, both of you should be teaching classes to hotel managers and hotel management students.
