“Maples House Hotel struck me as a particularly welcoming Dublin option, located as it is in a leafy residential neighborhood near the Botanic Gardens. The fact that it's family-run no doubt contributes to that attentive atmosphere, and the Edwardian building has been renovated to highlight its original charm. I think this could be a good choice for travellers seeking a quieter, more personal experience close to the city center.”
