Worth it.
The staff was friendly and accommodating with someone greeting you upon entry. The room was clean, well maintained and restocked as needed. Simple and adequate, a good value. I would return here again

Good value for money
Only 5 minutes walk from O'Connell Street, but still fairly quiet. Inexpensive place to use as a base if you are an out-and-about type. Rooms are small and basic, but clean and worked well for me.

We had a great stay at Parkway Guesthouse B&B. The owners and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. It was like staying at your friend's place. You get a key to the front door and to your room. It is a B&B and there is no front desk per se but there is always someone in the lounge. It is a no frills place with a "lived-in" charm, but it is clean, efficient, and has everything you need. The location is ideal, you can walk to many places and it is near where you catch the tour buses for day trips and hop-on-hop-offs. My husband and I booked a double room, but we were given a family room because one was available, so we had plenty of space. Thank you for this nice upgrade! The family room has a double bed and a bunk bed. We were quite comfortable. Housekeeping came everyday and we returned to a clean, made-up room and bathroom with fresh towels everyday. The breakfast that was included in the rate we chose was very good. It is not laid out on a buffet but cooked as you order, so it is always hot and freshly made. The dining room is very pleasant. We enjoyed our visit to Dublin and our stay at Parkway Guesthouse B&B certainly added to that great experience.

Perfect place to stay if planning a trip to Dublin
Stayed in this lovely guesthouse for 2 nights. The staff were very helpful, friendly and as a female travelling alone, put me right at ease. Fab breakfast and the best coffee I've had in the longest time :). Also, its less than 10 min walk to O'Connell street, so a perfect location.

There was actually nothing really wrong but it's just not worth to pay the price. There were problems with hot water and the internet connection was really bad. The room was also not really clean and I also would not call it a roomservice what they did. As already said price and offer just don't match.

Nice B&B; Highly Recommended
We found the Parkway to be the perfect B&B for our visit to Dublin. Shaemus the owner was gracious and very helpful. The location is central to the many sites and experiences of Dublin. We found the room to be neat and clean. The room and bathroom are on the smaller side however we spent very little time in the room itself. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast is made to order and could be characterized as a tradition Irish breakfast.

Nice B&B close to Dublin attractions
Seamus and his staff were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They provided a power converter (we brought the wrong one) and hair dryer. While the room wasn't large, it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was large and filling and delicious. Seamus provided a dinner recommendation, right around the corner, and it was a great place! It was nice to be within walking distance of the things we wanted to see in Dublin. we would definitely stay here again.

No Hot water in shower, breakfast was in plastic containers sitting out for daily breakfast. Narrow stairs had 40 lb lugagge a 60 year old had to bring to her room. Called first night and spoke to owner explaining I would be leaving Wednesday Was given a hard time, told he was losing money since I booked for 1 week. nAfter looking I found a hotel with excellent living conditions and left at 6 am Wedneday was forced to pay for the third night, although not staying there. Owner very rude and condesending. Explained I had to leave 1 day earlier and should not pay for the room, he did not budge.

We enjoyed our story at Parkway Guesthouse. Our beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! The location was good for us because it was just far enough away to avoid the late night partiers but still be in walking distance to all of the sites. The owner Seamus was very pleasant and helpful.
