We thought the breakfast was underwhelming and over-priced. For a 4 star hotel I would have expected better than cheap packet marmalade (and no other preserves available unless requested).

Hôtel agréable pour son confort et l'emplacement

Très belle surface pour la chambre familiale. Boissons chaudes à disposition très appréciables. Bon emplacement pour visiter Dublin et retourner facilement à l'aéroport. On aurait pu se passer des couettes sur le lit. Ajouter une brosse pour les toilettes. Trouver une solution responsable pour gérer la chaleur de la chambre familiale. Ajouter un détecteur pour l'éclairage du couloir ?

It was very nice establishment and easy to get to and from the airport. Parking was difficult to find on the property so be prepared to wait or go off site. The hotel and staff were very nice and helpful, except that they made a mistake on our reservation and told us we did not book the breakfast which we did and paid for. There was no resolution to this. Would recommend the hotel, just don't prebook the breakfast option.

Restaurant was fabulous! Taxi service prompt. Lift was efficient. Good use of space in room. I would suggest larger rubbish containers in rooms. Also, I didn’t see any rubbish containers in lobby or outside of the hotel. I picked up a wrapper on the ground and couldn’t find a container to put it in.

Nice property and rooms, staff is very nice. We weren’t prepared for no AC in the rooms. It would have been fine if there were a ceiling fan but we only had a small desk fan and even with the high of only 69 it was still quite warm in the room. Everything else was great. Quieter area but still walkable to several dining options and bus very close.

Every thing is great with the staff and property in general but this is the second time I have stayed in the summer and it’s way too hot in the rooms as they don’t have any air con and give you a inadequate fan for the room Sweated my head off over night causing real lack of sleep unfortunately
