Fodor's Expert Review Charleville Lodge

There's a slightly funky feel to this Georgian wonder. A short commute (15-minute walk) to the historic Phibsborough area of Dublin's Northside will transport you to the Victorian 19th century and to this lodge comprising a row of completely restored terraced houses. Rest awhile in the lodge's residents' lounge, with its antique-leather lawyer's chairs and working fireplace. Upstairs, guest rooms are simple but brightly colored, with hints of silver and purple, wide, and have high ceilings. As for the commute, Bus 46A takes but five minutes, and it's an easy walk in good weather.
