Leeson Bridge Guesthouse

Accommodation did not contact us that 40 plus male asylum seekers living in tents directly outside our window looking into our room or loitering directly beneath our window definitely not safe we left no apology not safe for women AVOID !!!!

We stayed here two different times. First was 3 nights, May 16-18, 2023 and again May 29, 2023 for one night. We enjoyed everything about the stay and had a room with a balcony both times. Both rooms had a fireplace (just for looks), a table with two comfy chairs and a king size bed. The walkout balcony was great for fresh air. The staff here are all wonderful, helpful and friendly people. The location is very nice right along the canal and very easy walking distance to St. Stephens Green and attractions. What is not top notch is the simple continental breakfasts, the elevator does not go to all floors. There is no AC in the rooms and they can get quite stuffy. We had to run a small table fan the entire time. Finally, the bathroom shower is quite small and when pulling the shower curtain, the sink is inside the shower... I know weird. If you have a car, parking is very limited (about 5 small cars fit). We did not have a car, so that was not an issue for us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

The photo is misleading! There is no breakfast - at least we found a room that had been locked previously and in the morning (but only after 9am) there was a kettle with tea and instant coffee and a couple of dry biscuits. This was hardly a breakfast. Very disappointing. We arrived around 8pm and no-one to welcome us (room key in an envelope on front desk which any guest could have taken). Fortunately no-one else was in reception area otherwise I have no idea how we would have got into the locked hotel. Room v small. Bed v small. V noisy due to street below.
