Roxford Lodge Hotel

A superb hotel with great friendly, knowledgeable staff, great value for money in Dublin. A sauna in your room is too good an opportunity to miss.

I'm a Dubliner by birth but have left the old sod for pastures new. Trust me, this is my fall-back B&B when I'm in town sans wife and drinking my way back to my youth with my buddies!
Not that this isn't perfect for a couple too. It is.
It's just the best run and cleanest B&B that I've ever stayed in. It's the perfect locale, safe and quiet but a 5 minute bus-ride into the heart of the action.
I invariably walk back (circa 4am!) to the hotel and it's a nice refreshing and safe walk indeed.
Cleanliness seems to be the first thing on the agenda and although the rooms can be very cramped they're just perfect for the traveller who has other things on his mind than staying in!
I will come to this place forever and would love to buy it for when Landsdowne Road gets going again. It's literally 10 leisurely walking minutes away from the hallowed turf.
There's a lovely full Irish breakfast which I've had once as I'm usually too hung over and it was dynamite. The owner is a very pleasant lady and is helpful when asked.
Couldn't recommend it enough and in fact I won't 'cos all you people will show up and ruin my little treasure!

Lovely staff, fun stay, good location, if a little old-fashioned.

The Roxford Lodge was a very good hotel....The AeroBus from the airport stops very close by (ask for the School House Hotel stop)....and the local bus stops right outside the Hotel - numbers 4, 7, 8 and 45. You have to either buy a Dublin Pass or buy individual tickets on the bus with the exact money - usually 1.05 euro@ to go into the city.
We liked the fact that the Hotel served a FREE tea/coffee tray on demand!
We got a much reduced room rate - 99.9 euros@night - for our stay in half term week at the end of October 2008 through LateRooms.The room was very pleasant - had a jacuzzi bath and sauna in the room. All the staff were extremely welcoming.
Whilst in Dublin we would recommend....The Literary Pub Crawl...Bewleys Tea Rooms ( They do lunchtime plays + soup and a roll for 15euros)...The city tour from Trinity College...The Wild Wicklow Tour and of course the Guiness Factory!!! Avoca shop is worth a look (good - but pricey cafe for lunch...unless you just stick to the soup!)
Dublin is not cheap....one of the more expensive cities we have visited...we would recommend O'Neills (close to the tourist centre) for evening eating...a really good plateful of Irish Stew/Beef in Guiness costs about 12 euros. The tourist centre is very helpful!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Roxford Lodge Hotel. We arrived a couple of hours before check in time, but they had a room ready for us. It is very conveniently on the same road as the stop for the airport coach. They offered us tea and coffee each time we got back to the hotel and were very friendly. We booked this hotel because it advertised it had a sauna in each room, which it does, however, they are not Finnish saunas, but infra red saunas. It was like a little wardrobe with heaters and the air is very dry in it. The one in our room was also at the opposite end from the bathroom, which meant the floor got wet when we moved between the shower and the sauna. Even so, very impressed to find a hotel in this part of the world with a sauna in each room. The bed was king size and very comfortable and the jacuzzi bath tub was a nice extra. Overall, we were very happy with the hotel. We did not eat in the hotel, so cannot comment on the food.
