Great location for us as we were catching the ferry to the UK early the next morning. Great food at the Croft restaurant

Consistant with other Hotels we stayed at, there is no fridge in the room, more milk for coffee would be good and maybe a complimentary snack like biscuits to have with coffee

I gave 10 to the hotel to balance some very bed reviews that this hotel got, that are not deserved in our experience. For example, I knew there was a leisure center but I thought it was a fake: something external to the hotel and not really freely accessible to guests. Instead, it is inside the hotel, completely for free (put your swimming cap in the trolley, otherwise you have to buy one for 3 euros - that is the only cost we faced), and very nice. The staff was also super nice: breakfast was not included, but my husband and I had to have breakfast inside the hotel once, since we had to rush away early in the morning. We were ready to pay 17.5 euros each, but since the waiter saw that we just had a coffee and a small piece of cake, she charged us 3.5 euros each, only! All the other days we went to the CENTRA supermarket (5 meters far) to by some croissants and yogurt, and we had very nice breakfasts in the room, spending just a few euros each.

The position is ok and there are many buses going to the center in 25 minutes, but you are not in the center. The two restaurants connected with the hotel close at 9PM, which is a problem if your plane arrives late in the night and you are tired...

The indoor pool was really good as well as the room. Very comfortable at a easy 24 hour a day access to Dublin center

Staff was helpful but a bit not too friendly, some would say rude rude which is unfortunate. The indoor spa although good didn’t meet the highest cleaning standards, don’t look inside the vents, and didn’t have every equipment working. Also the jacuzzi was good but not as good as others I am used to. For 15€ a breakfast I would expect something more complete although food was good!

Really great hotel especially for the price! Staff were friendly and helpful as well as the staff in the restaurants. It is directly on a bus route so getting to/from the airport and to Dublin Centre was easy and did not take long no matter the time. The room itself was really good. The bed was very comfortable but my god it was enormous! The tv had a selection of streaming services as well as regular channels such as RTE and TG4. The shower is also something to talk about because it basically has two modes: power wash or lizard tank. In power wash mode the water is so powerful it will knock over all your toiletries, you will come out looking like a lobster, and you will spend time feeling like Teresa Mannion in the “Don’t make unnecessary journeys” video. Lizard mode is the complete opposite. It is a cool mist. If you play rainforest sounds you too can envision yourself was a reptile at the Dublin Zoo as you stand in your glass enclosure absorbing water through osmosis! Other big bonus for me with this hotel was the ability to have the culinary genius of Mad Egg delivered directly to me! I recommend to everyone the Honeybaby burger, tator tots, and honey butter sauce. This meal is so delicious you will be counting down the days until you go to Dublin next just so you can have this delectable sandwich! I have 16 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes, and 58 seconds left. Anywho, hotel is really great. I recommend.

I did not expect to be dropped off at the Dublin City Mortuary every night.

Everything. It is nicely decorated. Felt very much at home from the minute we arrived except for the flowers on the railings outside. We had food in McGettigans Bar in the hotel. Food snd staff were exceptional. Barman was so friendly and the waitress Lucy is a great ambassador for her work place. Exceptional!! The room was spotless. The breakfast was perfect. Such a variety and tasted gorgeous and fresh. Can’t say good enough about the staff at breakfast. They couldn’t do enough for us. They created a great homely warm atmosphere. I would definitely recommend staying here. I will again.

+ Gorgeous hotel + Very nice and helpful staff + I asked to heat up our food that we bought in the supermarket and the guy from the bar kindly helped me with this issue, even provided plates, people and knives + Cattle, tea and coffee in the room + Nice area with 1-2 storey houses nearby + Milo's cafe 10 minutes walk away is great with very tasty food + No noise at night from the outside + Large bed + Free Netflix on TV + Bath and shower + Nice atmosphere + Perfect Wi-Fi + Soft and warm blanket + Cool chair to sit in + Perfect light control

- a bit cold because of the weather, but with the air conditioning it gets better - soundproofing of the bed, you could hear the neighbors talking - Price! € Although we choose the best price-quality option, it is still expensive (as every other option in Dublin)

We were there to celebrate my daughters birthday. We had a very relaxing time, spotless hotel and very comfortable bed really lovely sleep. The pool sauna, etc, is just wonderful staff there were fabulous also. The receptionists were absolutely amazing and welcoming they even left a happy birthday note and lots of treats for my daughter and friend in the room on arrival very nice touch. Thank you 😊

There was one member of staff, an older lady who was extremely rude to me at breakfast, which was very uncomfortable for me and my daughter. She was extremely aggressive in her tone and attitude. After the encounter, I approached the breakfast bar again and decided to ask for her name. Again, the response from her was extremely aggressive, rude, and all done in front of my daughter. Not to mention. It was also done in front of my young daughter on the morning of her special birthday. She gave me her name and asked "why" I wanted her name. I must say it was blown away by how nasty and inappropriate her tone and attitude were. I have never experienced behaviour like this in the hospitality industry before.

This fancy hotel offered several positives that made our stay enjoyable. A convenient parking space was available, and the check-in process was quick and hassle-free. The restaurant service was excellent, offering delicious meals and attentive staff. The beds were clean and comfortable, ensuring a restful night, and we appreciated the thoughtful addition of coffee and tea in the room for a cozy start to the day.

There were a few minor drawbacks that are not worth mentioning, but since I need to type something in this space, here it goes. Surprisingly, there was no outlet for the hairdryer in the bathroom, which is quite unusual and inconvenient. Additionally, we were charged slightly more than the price displayed on the booking site, which was disappointing and could have been better handled.

We had an excellent stay! We're extremely pleased ❤️ The wheelchair accessible room had everything we needed. Lowered sink in the bathroom, shower chair and safety rails around the toilet. Shower pressure was excellent!Heated towel rack was a nice surprise. Room was on a ground floor, and a good size for a wheelchair acces. Bed was very big and comfortable, room was clean and warm. Having tea and coffee facilities in the room was also nice. During our stay we had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was delicious. Staff at the reception and in the restaurant was welcoming and friendly. We loved it and we hope to stay again. ❤️

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The facilities at the hotel are good with lots of choice. And access to the city is very easy. The stay was good overall.

The hotel is going through renovations so parking was a little busy. The general feel of the hallways and shared spaces was not as clean as I'd expect. Hallway cleaning seems to be at a minimum. The spa gets very busy especially in the evenings and can be over crowded at times.
