About
Kennedys B&B Drumcondra
Kennedys B&B Drumcondra is a 3-star bed and breakfast with just 8 rooms, set on Drumcondra Road Lower in the north of Dublin. It sits within a 25-minute walk of Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, and close to the National Botanic Gardens. The B&B keeps things straightforward: Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour reception, and a bar and pub downstairs that guests repeatedly mention as a plus.
The rooms are simple and well-kept, with carpeted floors, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries. Some have private bathrooms, and the property is entirely non-smoking. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00, and check-out is by 11:00. There is no parking mentioned on site, and pets are not allowed. It is the kind of place where the staff, the atmosphere, and the location do most of the work.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed among the amenities or policies, so guests arriving by car will need to plan for street parking or a nearby garage.
- Pets are not allowed — The policy is clear: no pets. Travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- A limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:00. If you land late or arrive outside these hours, you may need to coordinate with reception, though the 24-hour front desk can help once you're in.
