Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered fantastic views over the golf course and the rooms were beautiful and spacious, but a bit different than expected. The service was very attentive overall, with a few mishaps. The location on the outskirts of Dublin was relaxing but not as stunning as in photos. The dining experience had good options, although a bit pricey. The facilities were alright, but some improvements needed.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The room, though lovely with a nice view, fell short for the price paid. The service, however, was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, even if they were a bit loud outside my door. The location was convenient and easy to reach, despite being close to a loading bay. Dining was a mix of amazing and disappointing, with fresh and tasty options but some dishes needing improvement.
The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not ideal due to loud music until late, making it hard to relax. The fan couldn't cool the room, leading to a restless night. However, the staff was exceptional and accommodating, extending the voucher duration. The location had a good buzz but was unexpectedly loud due to an event. Dining was hit-or-miss with excellent variety on one occasion and poor service on another.
The hotel offers very large and modern rooms that are usually quiet, except for possible noise disruptions like a wedding nearby. The overall experience is positive with some drawbacks to consider.
The hotel offers beautiful views over the golf course and provides nice extras like chocolates and a balloon in the room. The rooms are of good standard, offering a fantastic stay. However, some disturbances occurred with loud knocking on the door during the stay.
Despite being above a potentially noisy area and facing some room temperature challenges due to the HVAC unit, my stay at the hotel was surprising. The friendly and attentive staff provided numerous services, including a pep talk in Polish, enhancing the overall experience. The location was convenient, although there were issues like a malfunctioning steam room. The dining experience offered a lovely selection, with staff willing to go above and beyond, yet missed on certain details like missing condiments.
The hotel offers a mixed experience. The rooms, although nicely finished with added perks like a Dyson hair dryer and entertainment options, were a bit scruffy for an Executive Double Room. The service, while friendly, lacked the attention to detail that was provided in previous visits. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
