“This property strikes me as a solid choice for travelers who appreciate an authentic Dublin experience without sacrificing comfort. The location, near the Samuel Beckett Bridge, allows for easy exploration of the city center and the vibrant quays. I think its biggest draw is the popular pub housed within a historic building, which provides a lively atmosphere alongside well-maintained rooms.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ferryman Townhouse is often praised for its prime location near the Samuel Beckett Bridge and its appealing river views, especially when the lights are on at night. Many guests find the rooms clean, tidy, and well-equipped with private bathrooms, TVs, and tea/coffee facilities; the bathrooms are also described as spacious, with extra-large showers. Being above a popular Irish bar adds to the atmosphere, though some guests have noted noise from the bar and the street.

River View Bliss!

river viewfine viewhelpful staffgreat atmosphere
I was so lucky. I got a river view room. The view was fine. The pub below had a great atmosphere and I listened to it all night! The staff were helpful as they stored my bags before I checked in. The pub had lovely beer, and the atmosphere was amazing.
The stairs were a little difficult to navigate, especially with luggage. Though I managed.

Acceptable Stay Near the River

clean roomgood locationquiet atmospherehard bedno air conditioningno room service
The location is quite good. It is right on the river.. The room was clean and the facilities seemed nice. I liked that the rooms are above a lively pub, yet quiet.
The room did not have air conditioning. I found the bed to be uncomfortable and hard. I woke up with pain in my shoulder since I sleep on my side. No room service was offered.

Mixed experience due to noise and smell

The room was quite modern, bright, and clean.
My room had an unpleasant smell. The smell seemed to permeate my clothes. A VERY strong air freshener in the stairway did little to improve the situation.

Charming Stay in a Lively Location

convenient locationpublic transportquiet roomfriendly staff
The location is FANTASTIC. Many attractions are within a short walk. Public transport links are easily accessible, especially Dublin Express stops for airport access. The room was quiet despite the lively bar downstairs, a HUGE plus. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room lacked air conditioning, making it a bit warm, and there was no fan provided.

Acceptable But Underwhelming Stay

loud musiclacking room service
The noise levels were definitely a problem. Loud music came from the pub below every night. This made it hard to sleep, especially since the room had no air conditioning (it was quite warm). I only received fresh towels one day. There was no restock of tea or any room service .
