Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a delight. Our room had a balcony overlooking Dublin Bay, perfect for evening drinks. The accommodation was spacious enough for four, each with a comfortable bed. The service from the friendly Irish staff was impeccable, making us feel right at home. The location near scenic spots like Killiney Hill and Dalkey added to the charm, although being away from Greystones could be a drawback. The dining experience, though fantastic with a generous buffet, was somewhat overshadowed by arriving late. The facilities were exceptional, enhancing our overall stay.
The hotel rooms were quiet and beautiful, with generous size, but lacked a mini-fridge or microwave, offering a typical hotel room experience with a nice outside look. The service was professional, friendly, and very helpful, but missed an opportunity for a discount or a complimentary drink. The location was incredible, conveniently close to a beautiful town and within walking distance to must-visit spots. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a mix of great aspects and a few disappointments. Facilities were well-kept, maintaining a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel offers large and well-appointed rooms, immaculate staff, and delicious meals. While there were some delays with room readiness, the reception area provided a lovely lunch spot to relax. The rooms seem to be undergoing some work as they were makeshift, but overall clean with all the necessary amenities for a stylish travel experience.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, offering a beautiful balcony overlooking Dublin Bay where I could relax with a drink at night. However, I was a bit disappointed when my reading glasses went missing in the room, and housekeeping couldn't locate them. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive team that worked hard to ensure a professional and pleasant experience for all guests. The location was stunning, overlooking Dublin Bay and conveniently close to Killiney Hill for lovely walks. The dining experience was fantastic, especially the morning buffet with a great continental selection. The hotel facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms could use some refurbishment and lack sufficient sockets near the bed side tables, but they offer amenities like a coffee machine with biscuits and bottled water. The location provides good access to public transportation and beautiful natural surroundings, although it is a bit far from immediate points of interest without transport. The service is pleasant with helpful staff, despite occasional lapses in the freshness of food items. The dining experience offers a nice selection of fresh dishes, whereas the overall facilities are average, and improvements could be made. The price is reasonable considering the quality provided.
