2-star townhouse above a historic pub on the River Liffey

Location

Located beside the iconic Samuel Beckett Bridge opposite the Convention Centre, the property overlooks the River Liffey. The Bord Gais Energy Theatre, home to West End hits, is 300 meters from the door. The 3Arena concert venue is across the river, and the airport bus stop is practically outside.

Guest Experience

Guests consistently praise the powerful shower pressure and comfortable beds. Despite being above a lively pub, rooms are well soundproofed and quiet after closing time. Staff are noted for going above and beyond, including helping with luggage and accommodating early check-in requests.

Highlights

Location: On River Liffey beside Samuel Beckett Bridge

Rooms: Superior King rooms with river views available

Pub: Traditional pub with own stout and Guinness

Value: Free bag storage and helpful staff

Access: No lift, stairs only

“I noted that the location is advantageous, close to the river, and some rooms have appealing views; inside, the accommodations are neat, well-maintained, and include practical amenities. The soundproofing might not be perfect, especially in rooms above the pub, and there is no lift. Overall, it's a solid base with some trade-offs.”

Feedback about The Ferryman Townhouse from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ferryman Townhouse is praised for its modern and spacious rooms, some offering stunning river views, particularly from room 4. The hotel's location is convenient, close to the 3Arena and across from landmarks like the Samuel Beckett Bridge, with easy access to the city center; although the city center requires some walking. Many guests enjoy the lively pub downstairs, noting its great beer and atmosphere, although some have mentioned noise during the night and one guest had a musty smell in the room upon arrival. The bus from the airport even stops right across from the hotel.

the location near the river was acceptable.
The room had a musty smell that transferred to my clothes. It was not enjoyable at all. a strong bathroom perfume dispenser in the stairway did not improve the situation. i found no towels in my room upon arrival.
