The Leeson Lodge
Tucked into the quiet Georgian streets a short stroll from St Stephen's Green, this unpretentious lodge wins visitors over with disarmingly friendly staff, Karen at reception among them, clean, comfortable rooms with the odd historic touch, a simple continental breakfast of toast, fruit, and filter coffee, and the rare Dublin bonus of a private gated car park, all of which makes it a reliably decent, well-priced base, though those expecting polished finishes should note that some rooms show their age in patchy paintwork and worn fittings.
