A charming, villa-like townhouse in a quiet Dublin neighbourhood, the Maples wins visitors over with staff who remember your order and ask after your day without it sounding rehearsed, a kitchen that accommodates dietary restrictions at breakfast and dinner, and a warmly lived-in atmosphere that feels a world away from the glassy anonymity of larger hotels, though those booking a Friday or Saturday night would be wise to ring ahead, as the function room below can make sleep a distant prospect.
- Dublin, Éire / Ireland
A short walk from Galway city centre, this freshly renovated B&B wins consistent praise for its spotless rooms, friendly host Al, and a standout cooked breakfast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon among the highlights, though compact bathrooms and the occasional cold room remind you this is an honest, no-frills townhouse rather than a polished hotel.
