Dublin’s embassy-belt postal district, taking in Ballsbridge, Sandymount and the Aviva Stadium, a short DART ride or walk from the city centre.
Dublin 4 covers the southside districts of Ballsbridge, Donnybrook and Sandymount, a mix of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick streets close enough to the city centre to walk in on a fine day, but quieter and greener than the centre itself. It is best known as the home of the RDS showgrounds, which has hosted the Dublin Horse Show since the 19th century and now stages concerts and exhibitions year-round, and the Aviva Stadium, the national home of Irish rugby and football.
A B&B in Dublin 4 puts you in one of the city’s most established residential areas, with a large number of foreign embassies giving Ballsbridge in particular a settled, international character. It suits visitors who want easy access to the city centre, Trinity College and the main shopping streets, all a short DART ride or a manageable walk away, without staying in the middle of the city-centre bustle.
Sandymount, on the district’s eastern edge, adds a proper seaside dimension: Sandymount Strand is a long, flat beach with views across Dublin Bay to Howth and the Poolbeg chimneys, and a popular spot for a walk at low tide. Herbert Park, between Ballsbridge and Donnybrook, gives a large, well-kept green space with a lake, tennis courts and a café for a quieter morning.
The area is also well connected for onward travel, with Lansdowne Road, Sandymount and Sydney Parade DART stations all serving the district, giving quick access up the coast to Howth or south to Dún Laoghaire and Bray, as well as into the city centre in a few minutes.

Booking Pembroke Townhouse direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Pembroke Townhouse holds a 4-star guest house rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
