Lynden Bed & Breakfast

I stayed here with a friend 30 years ago and it was such a welcoming weekend it brings up fantastic memories. Our bed was turned down and tea was waiting by the time we walked there from the tourist bureau. I know that there may be many owners since but just found the bill while looking through pictures. It was 8 pounds 50 per night per person.

I have stayed in Lynden B&B on numerous occasions. Once I found Lynden I never stayed anywhere else in Dublin. It's an ideal distance from the town, bus, and DART. If you're looking for a homely place to stay and extremely welcoming hosts here is the place for you. Maria and Steve were very quick to help in any way they can, from breakfast requirements to local recommendations. Wish to be back soon for a Staycation post COVID19!

I stayed at Lynden b&b once a week while studying on a part time course nearby. It was very convenient for me location wise, good price & breakfast was nice. I’d been staying there once a week for over 2 months when i had a horrible experience with the land lady. My breakfast was always at 7.30am, this one morning I’d slept in for college and only woke up when Maria knocked on my door at 8.30am. She gave out to me for missing breakfast, said that she gets up at that time just for me, I’d completely wasted her morning and that I was an inconsiderate person. I apologized and said I’d slept in and was actually going to be late for college, I really didn’t mean to miss breakfast, to this she walked away from me. At this point I should mention every single time I’d eaten breakfast there was a least one other person being served so this was an exaggeration. I also felt that if she felt comfortable to knock at my door then why not do it earlier, I wouldn’t expect this service but if she was so annoyed then why not? I paid her husband that morning and went to college. The following week I returned, when I went to pay I was told there would no longer be a room for me as someone else needed that room on the night I’d selected. I was then given a 5 minute lecture from Maria about how young people -I was 23 at the time- don’t understand the working world, how we don’t appreciate everything that’s done for us & the hard work older generations do. I found this extremely insulting, I was working a full time job waitressing while studying a part time post grad in Dublin which is 2 hours away from me! I understand hard work!! It was human error, one sleep in (which I apologized for) and I was treated that way. I was glad not to return and found another b&b with a very nice & understanding land lady.
