About
Butlers Townhouse
Butlers Townhouse is a 4-star guest house on Lansdowne Road in the leafy D4 area of Dublin. It's a short walk from the Aviva Stadium and the RDS, making it a go-to for event-goers, yet it sits far enough from the main traffic to feel quiet. The period-style interiors and a homely lounge give it the feel of a private residence rather than a conventional hotel.
With Wi-Fi throughout and free public parking on site, it's practical for drivers. A full Irish breakfast is served in a sunny room, and the staff are repeatedly noted for their friendly, accommodating service. The DART station is about a 5-minute walk away, and Grafton Street is 15 minutes on foot.

8.2Verified guest“The room had a bath, which was a nice touch.”
8.2Verified guest“Everything was good here – I had a really comfortable three nights. I loved my room, which was warm and big, with a library. The in-house restaurant for food and other essentials was a great bonus.”
8.2Verified guest“The staff were very accommodating. There was a mix-up about the size of our party – we'd requested an extra bed for our daughter but Booked.net hadn't passed it on. They rearranged rooms and put us together at no extra charge.”
8.2Verified guest“The room looked lovely and was a decent size, with a bedroom and a bathtub. The location was fantastic, close to a bus stop.”
8.2Verified guest“The staff were so friendly and made us feel very welcome and at home. It's an ideal spot for the Aviva and RDS stadiums, both within walking distance. It's also a 15-minute walk to Grafton Street. I'd definitely stay here again.”
8.2Verified guest“A very pleasant stay. The staff were extremely helpful, especially when we had delays because of the ash cloud – they let us use a computer and phone, including for international calls, to rearrange our plans. Breakfast had plenty of choice and we dined in a comfortable sunroom, which was included in the stay. A quick walk to the DART, about 15 minutes to the hop-on-hop-off bus, and probably 40 minutes to Temple Bar. The neighbourhood felt very safe. Overall, a clean, quiet base for a day of sightseeing.”
