Glenmore House

This place is so far, the best bed and breakfast I’ve been to.
I was looking for a cheap place next to the airport to take an early flight in the morning, this is how I ended up at Glenmore House. I first was afraid of finding again something very cheap and nearly disgusting like it was the case in one of the bed and breakfast I have been to. But in fact, this place was very nice!
My room was big, very clean and quiet even if it’s only 5 minutes bus from the airport. I had the luck to be next to the reception so I had wifi even in my room. The bathroom was obviously pretty new. The beds were very confortable and the place very welcoming.
The only two points I didn’t really like about this place was that the curtains weren’t thick enough. I like to sleep in a very dark room so it took time for me to fall asleep. Also, as usual in B&B, the floor was made of carpet floor which I find not hygienic, but this one was alright tho.
The staff was very welcoming too and helpful.
I would definitely recommend that place to someone who has an early flight in the morning.
Also, the place is a bit far from everything but there are buses leaving from right in front of the hotel, I took it from there and I went in the center of Swords in a few minutes, and in Malahide in ³⁰⁄₄₀ minutes, so I guess it’s a choice to be closer from the airport than the city.

This place is cheap. In fact, it was the first non-​hostel accommodation I found online when I sorted all Dublin hotels by lowest price. However, you get what you paid for. In fact, I think I got less than what I paid for. But in any case, here are my problems with the place.
1 — There was barely any hot water during my last two days of stay there.
2 — The free wifi only covers like 5 of the rooms.
3 — The staff was hit or miss. Sometimes they were very friendly, sometimes not.
4 — When they say «20 minutes from Dublin city centre» they mean it’s 20 minutes if there is no traffic and your taxi driver disobeys speed limits.
5 — There are no restaurants, etc. within walking distance. The only thing really is a gas station.
6 — To get to the B&B from the bus station you need to cross a 4 lane highway with no lights/​crosswalk. That, or walk to and back from a traffic light that was rather far away.
7 — Buses only run until 11PM on the weekend. Enjoy spending 20 euros on a taxi if you want to experience the Dublin night life!
Honestly, it probably would have been cheaper if I stayed at a more expensive place and didn’t pay the bus/​taxi fares I did to get to/​from this place. Oh well, lesson learned.
