Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were comfortable and spotless, but I ended up with bites all over my body after a three-night stay. The lack of heating, air conditioning, or access to cool outside air made the room incredibly warm and uncomfortable, especially without the wall heater on.
The hotel was cozy and offered a variety of breakfast options, though some were undercooked. The room itself was comfortable despite occasional noise disturbances. The warm ambiance made up for the lack of room service and availability of water after midnight. I would consider staying here again.
The hotel was quite noisy due to its proximity to reception, and the rooms could use some maintenance. It was warm with no control over heating, and slightly overpriced for the distance from Dublin.
The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable, although lacking the promised bathtub. The price seemed overpriced for the area, and the rooms tended to be too warm, possibly due to their size. It may only be my choice if necessary.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, which was solely for wheelchair access, was tiny and overpriced, lacking basic amenities like water. The location by a busy motorway was inconvenient. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
I had to request a fan for the room as it was very hot and felt a bit on the cold side. I've stayed in many hotels in the area, and this one feels overpriced. I might only book it again if necessary. The rooms are too warm, probably due to their size, and lacking air conditioning, so windows need to be left open, but the hotel is located on a busy dual carriageway.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, but suffers from a lack of cooling options and water availability. The service is friendly overall, with some hiccups in communication. Its location provides easy access to nearby retail outlets and the city center, but noise from the adjacent motorway can be disruptive. The dining experience, while serving a substantial breakfast, falls short on some dishes. Additional amenities contribute to the overall value of the stay.
The hotel's location is superb, ideal for accessing the City Centre and surrounded by local retail outlets. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although the shower setup was unconventional. The service was mostly generous, with a hiccup on the second day. Dining was tasty, offering diverse breakfast options. The hotel is in Lucan, a charming area, but transportation timings might vary from the official estimates.
The hotel was a good value for money find, though the rooms were a little dated and got too hot even with the windows open. The service was efficient and friendly, with some staff going above and beyond. The location was convenient with efficient transport options, though a bit hard to find. The dining experience was satisfactory, but with some areas needing improvement.
