Butlers Townhouse

Lovely stay, close to the city centre. would stay here again.

We telephoned ahead to check our booking only to be told that they had no record of us! This was the last night of our honeymoon and we thought we were going to have to sleep in the car! Once she was convinced our booking existed Cecelia, the duty manager, put herself out to find us a room. Even relocating a corporate client to the hotel next door. We were not charged for coffee when we arrived not for early morning teas and loved the place. Penny & Ian

The hotel was very peaceful and close to the DART station in Landsowne Road.

This is a fabulous little boutique hotel. Stayed three nights and it seemed extremely well run with many personal touches. Our room was lovely and the bathroom both spotless and elegant. They have a snack menu all day and we had sandwishes on arrival which were very good. Coffee and tea is available all day for free (*) and the breakfast were fabulous. Personally, I was thrilled to stay somewhere that served leaf tea from a teapot, rather than teabags. And the final pièce de résistance was the homemade bread.
This is the perfect place for a Dublin weekend. It is also very close the the Dart rail line into the town centre.
Two very slight negatives: most of the staff are non-native English speakers and particularly at breakfast it was hard to make ourselves understood. I felt that when we ordered, the very sweet and polite staff simply guessed at what we were saying. We never had exactly what we wanted; and asking for brown sauce, or extra water for the tea was more difficult than it should have been. The all day free coffee and tea seemed a nice touch but on the occasion we had it, it took a long time to arrive. Also I found myself inhibited from asking for tea in the room after an afternoon nap and would have preferred the kettle!
