I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly clean and cosy, and the lady who checked us in was so nice and helpful. However, the room was extremely cold during my stay, which was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, the rooms were finished to a high quality standard.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable with a huge bath, providing a great level of relaxation. The service was top-notch, with friendly and approachable staff who really went the extra mile, especially the restaurant team managing a busy bank holiday weekend. The location couldn't have been better, perfect for getting around whether for business or leisure. The dining was good, although the breakfast options were a bit limited. Overall, a wonderful experience worth the value.
The hotel offers excellent value rooms, but some may find the noise from the lift a bit disruptive. The service is top-notch with immediate spillage cleanup and friendly staff. The location is convenient, especially for those visiting the Beacon Hospital. The dining experience may vary, but the staff is accommodating. Overall, a good stay with minor room noise concerns.
The hotel was way too hot, even with the windows open; air conditioning would have been ideal. The room did not have a proper bed but was very spacious with the most beautiful bathroom-like a log.
The hotel offers fabulous upper-class rooms but lacks soundproofing, making noise from the bar and neighboring rooms a constant presence. The service is dependable, with some exceptionally friendly staff members. The location is convenient for business and shopping but involves a long walk from public transportation. The dining experience falls short of expectations, and breakfast options may leave guests wanting more.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms, although some areas showed wear and tear. The service was friendly, but I noticed the lack of staff presence. The location was convenient, especially for shopping, but the walk from the Luas wasn't the most pleasant. The dining experience was good, with a nice selection for breakfast. The facilities were decent, although some areas seemed dated.
The hotel had beautiful and modern rooms, but there were some issues with noise from the lift and lack of power sockets near the bed. The service was good overall but had some unexpected additional charges. The location was convenient for those visiting the Beacon Hospital but not ideal for those without a car. The dining options were adequate but could be improved for a better gastronomic experience.
The hotel rooms were not what I expected for the price paid, with noise coming from the fridge all night and a nearly one-hour late wake-up call. However, the rooms were fab, definitely upperclass, massive, and luxurious with an amazing shower and bathtub, providing a quiet stay.
The hotel offers stunning views that are truly captivating, but the rooms were very small and had some concerning issues. The staff, especially Ciara, were friendly and helpful, but there were moments of disorganization. The location is great for easy access to Dublin and other areas, but certain aspects like room temperature gave some discomfort. The dining experience fell short of expectations in terms of quality and pricing. Overall, the facilities were decent but had room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was overall very good. The room was very clean and tidy, although it was perhaps a little too warm at night. The staff were fantastic and took great care of us. The location was fantastic for the Beacon hospital and couldn't have been any better. The dining experience was really good with a wide range of items available, but slightly disappointing on one morning.
