The Ferryman
The Ferryman is a small hotel in central Dublin overlooking the River Liffey with traditional stone architecture and restored character. Its fifteen guest rooms are simply furnished with flat-screen television, tea and coffee facilities, and free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.
The building was carefully restored in 1998, preserving its original character while adding modern comforts to serve contemporary guests. The family ownership has maintained its role as a landmark connected to Dublin's river commerce heritage.
The Ferryman takes its name from the boatmen who once worked on the nearby river, ferrying people across the water. This maritime connection remains part of the hotel's identity and links guests to Dublin's past as a working river city.
The hotel has no elevator, but staff readily assist with luggage and other needs throughout your stay. Breakfast is typically included with your room, and the location puts you within walking distance of bus stops and train stations for traveling around Dublin.
The hotel is popular for marriage proposals because of its historic and intimate setting that adds meaning to special moments. Its small size and traditional atmosphere make it a hidden favorite for those seeking something more personal than large modern hotels.
