Loved by Schoolhouse Hotel guests
"The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built."
"Our room had a beautiful view of the garden and it was amazingly quiet despite being in a city."
"On the Aircoach route to the airport which stops outside and is only €20 return( took 50 minutes due to traffic on our return on a Sunday afternoon )"

“The Schoolhouse Hotel, once a literal school, retains a charming, slightly quirky character that clearly extends to its staff; its location is superb for reaching the Bord Gais theatre or exploring the city center. I particularly like the blend of historical architecture and modern comfort, and the garden terrace sounds like a rare find for Dublin. It would be my choice, too, for a return visit.”
