7.6/10

Staying on the 1st floor was excellent for us since my husband faces challenges walking long distances. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, offering both a bath and a shower. However, the view was disappointing, the TV was small and far from the bed, and there was no seating on the balcony.

The hotel had lovely rooms with all the needed facilities, overlooking the pier and seafront, making for a comfortable and super clean stay. The service, though a bit inexperienced, was attentive and supportive throughout the night. The location was beautiful with a fantastic sea view from the bedroom window, offering a great seaside getaway. The dining experience was mostly positive with fresh buffet options, but limited choices for those dairy-free. Overall, a nice stay with some minor drawbacks.

I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and roomy with a very comfy bed, but the service could use some improvements in terms of politeness. The location is great, just a short walk down to the pier and Dun Laoghaire town. The dining options were good, but some quick food choices can be enhanced.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious with a great view, making me overall very happy. However, the room was very small and restricted, plus the windows looked out onto walls with no sea view, which were the major negatives for me.

The hotel location was ideal for my requirements, very central for all areas of the town. Although the rooms were smaller than expected and a bit noisy being in the older part of the hotel, the service was exceptional with kind and thoughtful staff. The dining experience was not up to par with cold and unappetizing meals, but the facilities were well-maintained.

The hotel had a lovely surprise in its rooms, even though they appeared dingy with old upholstery. The service was brilliant, with some minor hiccups during my stay.

The hotel offers a great sea view from sizeable and clean rooms, although the ones above the banquet room are preferred for their nicer ambiance.

The hotel's location was superb, just a short walk from the train station and close to all the shops and restaurants. The rooms, although sparkling clean, had a strong fresh paint smell that was quite overwhelming, leading to a less than ideal experience for me and my children. The service provided by Nigel and his team at the reception desk was sympathetic and accommodating, including a room switch to a sea view. Despite the positive aspects, the dining experience fell short of expectations with limited choices and cold food, impacting the overall value for money. However, the beautiful seaside walks and proximity to the ocean added charm to the location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location is top-notch, right in the heart of the vibrant coastal area of Dublin, but the room situation was a hassle. While the staff was a letdown, the air conditioning was a plus. The extra charge for a clean room, stained fold-out bed, and lack of proper pillows or blankets were a disappointment. The air conditioning, however, was a welcome relief. Rating: 6/10 for rooms. Although the staff at the hotel fell short in various ways, including a cringe-worthy incident at the bar, the service did leave something to be desired. Rating: 5/10 for service. The hotel's location couldn't be better for soaking up all the activities and amenities in the area. Whether it's strolling on the pier or enjoying a local treat, the central position is a key highlight. Rating: 9/10 for location.
