We had a family party in the afternoon in Hardys bar and it was fantastic, the staff were fantastic, the food was lovely, the room was fab (as always). Super clean and tidy.

What reception did not tell you was there would be thumping dance music until 0030hrs downstairs at a function. My cousin who was also staying with her family said it had been every night since they arrived. I only stayed one night and did not get to sleep until nearly 3. I had to be up at 0600hrs so not the greatest stay. I LOVE this hotel. Its my go-to when I come to Dun Loughaire. The hotel, the staff, the food, drinks - I love it. But this was not acceptable. Tell me and give me a chance to change room/location/hotel, not ruin my stay that I had saved up for (I had family I could have stayed with but thought a little "treat" was in order).

Breakfast was excellent, the room was very comfortable. However the view from the room was disappointing. The leisure facilities were excellent and the swimming pool is a real good size. Central location with access to an amazing library and some fabulous restaurants. The dart is also just a five minute walk. And the air coach drops you off at the bottom of the road to the hotel.

Everything is expensive

Staff were so good. The food was perfect. Lovely bed. The garden around it was kept lovely. Great spot.

The building needs a lot of attention. The plaster work so bad in the front hall. Paint work needs seeing too. Classic room it was not . Very boxed. The room we got had no view whatsoever. Just walls and windows. I was disappointed. The price just for the room only was 398euro . That's all you got for the money a room. As I said disappointed 😞

As always I really enjoyed staying hotel. We look the look and the feel of the hotel.

Checking in at 3:50 only to be told to come back in 15mins by a very surely receptionist by the name of Maria. When I reminded that the hotel guaranteed a 4o’clock check in she told me they were busy. Didn’t even offer to hold our cases. Really put a dampener on our stay and the service just got worse. We booked dinner and ordered wine with our meal. The wine was dropped in a bucket and we were left to open and serve ourselves. The waiter was less than pleasant..! We did go for dinner there on New Year’s Eve and we did have a much better experience thanks to our waiter for that night.

Beautiful room, comfy bed, gorgeous view. Staff, super friendly.

They didn't update the late checkout (despite them being told and asked about it twice...whcih they confirmed) so I cldnt get into the room after my spa treatment, had to go all the way back down to reception... then while I was showering, room service came in to clean.! Kettle was leaking. I called for room service on the Saturday night and the person who answered cldnt see what I cld see on the menu. He didn't understand English very well and he ended up hanging up on me.

The location of this lovely big hotel was perfect for access to Dublin as the Metro was a few blocks away and we did not wish to take our car into Dublin. The car park at the hotel was free with validation. The restaurant and bar at the hotel were excellent and the interior of the hotel was beautiful and well kept. Our room was quiet and the bed so comfortable. Of special note: the manager of this hotel was involved with the guests of all ages enquiring about their stay and interacting with them. Very impressive! He was also very much a presence in all areas overseeing that employees were keeping the guests happy as well.

No rain on our first night there! All was excellent.

Location was great. Rooms were comfortable. We were just there for one night so didn't get the chance to use the pool or spa. Free parking was nice. Bar restaurant was good. Ate at Vanilla Pod across the road for breakfast which was fantastic! Sly Fox pub also great and a short walk. Drove to 40 foot for a quick, icy dip!

Building looks very run down on the outside, and used the handicapped entrance as it was the only ramp to bring luggage up and it was very run down - felt like a service entrance - so not a great first impression. Inside was nicer - felt like a throwback to grand hotels. Confusing to find the room as there were many elevators and sections but the check in desk didn't give any directions so we wandered around wondering why the room numbers stopped just shy of our number. Had to go all the way back down and ask only to be told we needed to go to an entirely different area. Should have been told that when we got the keys.

The manager and all of the staff were helpful, courteous and friendly, in particular the 2 male servers in the lounge on Friday evening … This is an old hotel and can use some upgrades, the tubs are awkward to get in and out for seniors, walk in showers would be great. The food was excellent! We did not eat breakfast at the hotel as it is not included, but chose a small restaurant across the street. As said, the staff are all very accommodating. Our room had an oceanview and the windows can be opened for those choosing fresh air. I would recommend this hotel.

The carpets could all use a good shampoo, particularly the halls.

Parking was free - you take a ticket on entry and when you check out they will give you a validated ticket. Staff were so approachable, friendly and also so helpful for all our needs. Bedroom was amazing - small balcony looking out to the sea was so beautiful! Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was modern and had a fridge with free water. Bathroom was also modern with a great shower!

Unfortunately we didn't have a great experience with food in Hardy's bar. I had the fish and chips thinking it would be really fresh due to the hotel location. Fish and chips were not fresh and the chips were just from a frozen packet. Did explain my disappointment to the waitress who said they would say to the kitchen.

Mostly everything was perfect. The room was great, the hotel itself is lovely and the location is perfect for walking to anything in the town. The gym and pool is class and the price for a Saturday night was good.

It is a bit of a maze so make sure you know where you are going when you go to find your room! We booked to eat in the bar nice and early at 6pm as we had a show next door at 8pm. We just about got a main course in that time before we had to rush to pay to get out. Staff weren’t attentive to that. Although the food was pretty good.
