About

Talbot Street Guest House

Talbot Street Guest House is a small, 9-room property set right at the doorstep of the General Post Office Compact Museum, placing you in the middle of Dublin's historic district. The guesthouse offers straightforward accommodation with city views from several rooms, and a choice of shared or private bathrooms depending on the room type.

The location is a practical springboard for sightseeing: George's Street Arcade is a 14-minute walk, and St Stephen's Green is 18 minutes away on foot. With a modest overall guest rating of 6.9 from 338 reviews, it's a functional option rather than a destination in itself — a decent pick for travellers who prioritise location and value over frills.

  • Prime location by the GPO — The guesthouse sits right at the doorstep of the General Post Office Compact Museum, with George's Street Arcade 14 minutes' walk away and St Stephen's Green 18 minutes away.
  • City views from several rooms — Both the Shared Bathroom Quadruple Room and the Family Private Bathroom Double Room offer views over Dublin, adding a touch of atmosphere to the stay.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed overall value — With an overall rating of 6.9 out of 10 and a value score of 7.0, expectations should be tempered — this is a basic guesthouse, not a luxury retreat.
  • Facilities are minimal — Facilities score just 6.0, and the amenity list is short: heating, Wi-Fi, and no smoking on site. No air conditioning, parking, or pets are available.
  • Shared bathrooms in most rooms — Only the Family Private Bathroom Double Room has an en-suite; the other room types rely on shared facilities, which may not suit all travellers.
  • Dining options are limited — The dining score of 6.8 suggests the guesthouse doesn't excel in this area, and there's no on-site restaurant listed — you'll need to venture out for meals.
