We had a great stay in Rathmines, and the location was perfect. A short bus ride into Dublin City centre ( make sure you have correct change for bus). Some lovely shops right on the door step to pick up any essentials you may need. The room was perfect for what we needed, very clean and a great spot. We did struggle to find parking at first but this was because we travelled late at night so made it more difficult to find. Would highly recommend if you don’t want to be too far from city centre but also want to be a quieter spot. Thanks for a great stay
