About
O'Donoghue'S
O'Donoghue'S is a 3-star guest house with just 9 rooms, set above a renowned traditional pub on Merrion Row. The location puts you in the heart of Dublin's entertainment district, about a 25-minute walk from the Guinness Storehouse. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and rooms offer city views.
The property keeps things simple: a bar and lounge area, a welcome drink on arrival, and daily housekeeping. There's no restaurant, but the pub itself is a draw, with nightly live Irish music that guests consistently mention. Check-in is at the bar, which adds to the character but means you'll arrive amid the bustle.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — On Merrion Row, steps from St. Stephen's Green and a short walk to Grafton Street and Trinity College.
- Live Irish music in the pub — Guests can enjoy nightly traditional music sessions without leaving the building.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — Rooms are clean but simple, with some guests finding them dated or lacking in extras.
- Creaky stairs and potential noise — The historic building has creaky staircases, and the lively pub below means some noise carries.
- Check-in at the bar — Check-in is at the pub bar, which can be hectic during peak hours, especially late on weekends.
- No on-site parking or pets — There is no parking provided, and pets are not allowed on the property.
