The Holyhead

The Holyhead is a quiet, relaxed B&B offering budget accommodation in the heart of Dublin.

Our doors have been open since 1804, when we welcomed sailors who had crossed the Irish Sea from the Welsh port of Holyhead.

Back then the founders of the Holyhead had no idea how convenient the B&B's location would prove for travelers in the twenty-first century. A decade before the world's very first locomotives steamed along, a century before the engine of the first omnibus revved up, when the major overland means of transport were horses, who would ever have imagined there would be a major train station and a central bus station just around the corner? Or that those few pubs on the opposite side of the river would later multiply, and become the world famous Temple Bar nightlife area?

Nowadays, two hundred years on, we offer a range of affordable rooms with a continental breakfast and wireless internet access included in the rates. Our friendly, easy-going staff will do their best to provide you with any assistance you require, including suggestions of where to go and what to see.
