What people say
When I arrived at the Marian Guest House, I felt like I was visiting
my "new family ". The atmosphere it's awesome,
Catherine and Brian will host you like a member of their family, and
you'll have everything you need to have. They are special and
their breakfast it's one of the best I've ever tried in my
life! Excellent position from the city centre, very well connected to
the airport. If you want to feel like home and be a new member of
this wonderful Irish family, you shouldn't loose this occ. all reviews »
The lady in the reception is just amazing. She offered me immediately a
discount and apologized when realized that the room I booked was not the
one I saw in the site. I had a shared bathroom but definitely is a very
clean place to stay and somehow you feel that you are in home. She is
very helpful too, giving information on everything. I do not have rich
experience of guest houses and B&B but this is really good. Value
for money +++. and the owner just perfect.
Excellent place with extremely friendly & Helpful owners who made us feel very welcome throughout are stay, and also very accommodating to anything we may needed.
The Big Breakfasts will have you energized for the day ahead. The city centre attractions and Connolly train station are well within walking distance (10-15 mins).
Would stay again whenever back in the area.
Thanks Brendan & Catherine for your kind hospitality.
We stayed altogether five nights at the Marian Guest House and felt like
home from the first encounter onwards. Our first stay was three nights
and then we went away for other parts of Ireland for two nights and were
being offered (before we ourselves asked) the possibility to store some
of our luggage there whilst being away. The host couple are just so
friendly and nice and good-hearted people!.
Catherine is just so lovely she was very accommodating to my mum and I .
Very friendly and helpful for all directions even allowed us to stay for
a cuppa after check out time and looked after our luggage . Excellent
breakfast great location and very clean. I would recommended this house
to anyone and we will definitely be staying here every time we go to
Dublin thank you Catherine.
The staff were nice, the breakfast was nice, it was clean and situated right in the inner city. It was one of the cheapest places I could find and it also included breakfast. When I got there the staff were very nice and accommodating. It was enjoyable and a worthwhile stay.
This is a family run b&B. They are a fantastic couple and its a very
quaint clean comfy place. The best of 5 places I stayed on a 3 week
trip. The only place from letsbookhotel.com that provided what they offered .
you're so heartily welcomed to the Marian Guest House that you feel at home from the first moment onwards, and what more can you ask from your stay? staying in a B&B like that guarantees a succesful holiday.
This guest house is great value for money in a good location. The lady of the house was very helpful and friendly and it felt like a home away from home. Will definetly stay there again when I am back in Dublin.
Catherine couldn't have been more helpful in sorting parking and finding our way around Dublin. Everything was clean and tidy. Breakfast was lovely. Location within walking distance of so many attractions.
Really friendly owners. Great location with a short walk to the centre of the city or use the bus stop just up the road. Easy access to/from the airport using either the AirLink or public bus network.
Very friendly welcome. Good communication before the visit and arranged for a slightly later arrival. Very good value for the position which is walking distance of the centre of Dublin.
the guest house is in a good position within walking distance of all amenities
Catherine was brilliant and good to have the Craig with and always willing to help you in any way!.

The Location.
Very friendly welcome.
Sometimes it was noisy as it is an old renovated house ...but nothing is
perfect in this life.
Unfortunately the neighbourhood was not that great which is sad because the B&B has such a good location. Also rooms were small but for one night that was not a big issue but would be for longer nights.
Would prefer tea/coffee making facilities to be inside the room rather than communal.
nothing.
nothing.
nothing to dislike.
bathroom in room very small but not end of world good water pressure shower.
Shower was very small.
The double bed mattress must have had a hole or a dip in it for half my body went into it...Not much room to move about but we were there for 1 night only so it was fine...
I stayed in the single room. It was fine but needs a major update - it was like stepping into the 1970s. The room was quite cold at night too.
It's a bit far from the touristic center if you don't like to walk.
location is not very convenient. for the fist time is difficult to find.
There was no place to sit down outside your room. We weren't allowed to eat food in the room and the breakfast area was off limits in the afternoon, so we had to stand in the sink area to eat our take-out food (which wasn't really a big deal though).
Very small ensuite facilities.
I did not like to go down for making coffee or tea in the common place. It would be excellent to have an electric kettle in the room.
it is not ırish breakfast ;cholesterol bomb but ı am sorry ı ate.
Only climbing the three flights of stairs with a bad knee.
Parking could be problamatic.
Tv was in a strange place and not very good.
Nothing - a great place to stay...
I reserved a place in the parking, but I had to park on the street because there wasn't no place to park my car.
Nothing to dislike.
