The home is central which is good for tourists.
Beautiful house, lovely rooms.
Breakfast needs improvement, cereal, toast, jam, fruit, yogurt and cheese. A nice coffee machine.
Breakfast table is cluttered with a bunch of antique dishes and such, when all you really want is dishware, coffee cups and cutlery.
A very small area to place used items, gets messy fast. Host nowhere to be found, rings more like a self serve home not a Bed and Breakfast
Sitting area outside is small but comfortable.
Not a 10 but a solid 8 better than a hotel.
The host was quick on the messaging system to answer my questions and very kind during the stay
Good continental breakfast and great coffee
Tv with various active streaming services
Free parking
The room was spotless. Excellent quality bed and bedding. Great coffee machine and homemade brown bread and homemade marmalade. The offering of continental breakfast was second to none with fresh fruit yogurt’s cheese and pastries. Great location and very relaxing environment great nights sleep. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
The room was beautiful and very clean. The host was there to greet us and showed how everything works. Breakfast was great also. The best thing about Avoca House were the friendly owners who helped with everything and made us feel very welcome.
Avoca House is tastefully done and well-managed. The host was extremely helpful when I arrived, giving me details about the house and the area. My room was nicely appointed, quiet and very comfortable. I highly recommend this property!
The property was nicely located between Drumcondra and Glasnevin area with access to busstops at both, easy buss access to the airport, and also a Budget Avis car rental at a walking distance. Self serve breakfast with options, willingness to make accommodations for allergies and intolerances, and couple of decent pubs within walking distance for dinner options.
I spent two nights a this b&b. You get to check in early and are meet by the most lovely host. I got the top room with is lovely BUT if you mind heat this roome is not for you. Its very hot! Good breakfast, all imøn all as expected 👍🇧🇻🇮🇪
Lovely place. Well maintained, friendly staff. Quiet and safe location.
Two minor things to keep in mind. The location is a 10 minute walk to public transit, so if its raining or bad weather, you'll be out in it for a bit before you can hop on the bus.
The other thing is that the single bedroom is a converted loft. It's well-done and comfortable, but cramped, especially the bathroom. If I was a larger person (I'm 5'11", 190lbs), the toilet would have been a real challenge to use. Keep that in mind if you're larger than me. I've knocked off a star because of the bathroom. That said, there's not much they can do without changing the roof line.
But otherwise the house was lovely, the back garden is wonderful, and the staff was great.

Avoca House was a great balance to the busy center of Dublin. Being near the Botanic Gardens made for a nice walk interval after arrival on the red-eye flight and nap time! The bed was wonderful. When we awoke, we were refreshed enough to get the bus (7 minute walk from Avoca) into the Temple Bar area for dinner and a stroll through the high-energy neighborhood. The taxi home was under 20 euros.
Breakfast was VERY satisfying with many coffee options.
The host, Jack Turner, was welcoming and informative.
Jake and his family are just amazing -incredibly helpful and friendly. We were in a difficult situation when we arrived as our daughter's accomodation in a different part of the city ( for 3 months) turned out to be a nightmare. Thanks to Jack and his family's support everything is fine now and our daughter is safe and sound in a lovely flat. We can't express how thankful we are!!!! Thank you so much!! Our room in Avoca house was absolutely tidy and very cosy and quiet!!! We immediately felt at home. Apart from that, breakfast was included in the price and really good. We are looking forward to coming back soon.
Highly recommended. Jack and Audrey are lovely, friendly people. Bonus was their dog Chilli. The house is beautiful and well maintained.
Our only niggle was a water pump that ran quite a bit. We could hear it in our room. We stayed in room 1. It didn’t bother my heavy sleeper husband but was a challenge for me the light sleeper. We mentioned it to Jack and he was going to take care of it.
Breakfast was serve yourself which was really convenient.
Heads up. No hair conditioner is provided. Bring your own if needed.
Avoca house was really nice, beautifully decorated, comfortable bedding, I think that was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in ... gorgeous table setting and friendly owner. Everything shouts quality and comfort. We really enjoyed our stay and thank you Avoca house for having us.
Jack and his side kick Teddy (cutest fur baby) were fantastic. The photos in their advert were accurate but didn't convey how peaceful the space was. Convenient to some excellent pubs and the bus as well. Great room, excellent host.
Lovely stay at the Avoca house at the start of our trip! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and the area was very peaceful. A nice walk into Dublin center (about 30 minutes), perfect to feel close to the city but in a quiet oasis just outside!
