My husband first took me to Dublin for Valentines Day in 2001 and we've been back every year since. We love the place and always seem to be able to find new places to stay, dine and visit. Our stay in the ElizaLodge was during our 2003 visit to Dublin and it was certainly one of the best.
The ElizaLodge is described as a luxury guesthouse at the foot of the Milennium Bridge. This is a fairly accurate description of the place, although I would argue that there are a few more luxury places to stay including The Morgan, but that's for another review. The accomodation consisting of 18 guest rooms is situated above the Eliza Blues restaurant which serves absolutely superb food and employs friendly and efficient staff. You can book a table in the restaurant via a direct phone line from your room, which I would definitely recommend ...
Advantages: Very cheap, very friendly, excellent breakfast, quirky Disadvantages: Bathroom
Situated on Lower Gardiner Street, Abbott Lodge is the ideal base from which to launch a short, cheap break in Dublin.
Officially rated as a two-star affair, Abbott Lodge boasts many facilities one would expect from a more expensive establishment within the confines of a converted "Georgian" building.
My wife and I have just returned from a very short break in Dublin, and we chose Abbott Lodge due to its close proximity to the Central Bus Station and relative adjacency to the other sights in Dublin.

Another important consideration in ...
Advantages: Absolutely splendid food, very friendly and efficient staff, good prices, great wine Disadvantages: None
As a frequent visitor to Dublin (my husband and I have been every year since 2001), I feel like I've eaten in most of the restaurants in the city centre, but every year we make at least one trip to the Eliza Blues restaurant.
Every time we've been here we have been seated in a different place - ranging from near the window to on the slightly raised platform a the back. Each location has been wonderful for different reasons and we've had no complaints in that respect. Each time our waitress has introduced herself promptly and offered us a pre-dinner drink from the extensive menu. They have an excellent selection of wines, beers and spirits as well as liqueurs for after dinner. We have sampled a number of their bottles of wine and have never had a bad bottle, always thoroughly enjoying our well-priced choice.
The food has ...
