About
The Leeson Lodge - Dublin
The Leeson Lodge is a two-star guest house on Upper Leeson Street, a quiet residential stretch just south of Dublin's city centre. It's roughly a 15-minute walk to the Irish Whiskey Museum and about five minutes on foot from The Gerard Byrne Studio. The neighbourhood is well placed for exploring St Stephen's Green and the shops on Grafton Street without the noise of the busiest tourist streets.
The property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi in all areas, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles and free toiletries in every room. Room types range from a compact Single Room up to a Double Room with a sauna and bathtub. Check-in is between 3pm and 8pm, and check-out from 7am to 11am. Guests consistently mention the welcome and the breakfast as the reasons they'd return.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central, walkable location — Guests repeatedly called the location a highlight, with quick access to St Stephen's Green, Grafton Street and the stadium.

- Supportive, friendly staff — Multiple reviewers mention helpful staff who provided tips, directions and even printed a boarding pass.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Tight check-in window — Check-in is restricted to 15:00–20:00, so arriving outside those hours needs advance planning.
- Small bathrooms in some rooms — One guest described the bathroom as the smallest they had ever seen, so if bathroom space is a priority, it's worth asking at booking.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may rule it out for travellers with animals.
- Inconsistent staff warmth — While many praised the staff, one guest noted that some employees came across as unpleasant, so the service experience may vary.

8Verified guest“The location was the big draw – right in the centre, and the room came with coffee and a kitchenette just as promised.”
8Verified guest“Everything we needed was in the room, including coffee, fast Wi-Fi and two windows. Having a Jacuzzi in the private bathroom was a nice bonus.”
8Verified guest“The breakfast buffet was a pleasant surprise – a hearty spread that meant we skipped lunch.”
8Verified guest“Rooms felt modern and practical, with a bathroom, kitchenette and kettle. Service was spot on, and even though a few staff came across as quite rude, the stay itself was really enjoyable.”
8Verified guest“The rooms had the smallest bathroom I've ever seen, but the location next to the stadium and close to St Stephen's Green and Grafton Street was ideal. Bloom Brasserie nearby is a great spot to relax.”
8Verified guest“The reception team was lovely and gave useful tips. Our room was spacious with a small balcony – perfect for a bit of morning air. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and I slept brilliantly.”
