We spent two nights at The Sandymount. It is right beside Aviva if you are attending a match, but the rest of the area is mainly residential (not much for restaurants or shopping near by). It is a quiet area. The room and beds were comfortable and the shower was nice, though there is no a/c. The staff at the front desk, the bar and restaurant were all very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good, and we had a tasty supper in the bar.

my wife is a wheelchair user and the staff were so helpful especially as one of the lifts was out of order. As a result, our stay was enjoyable and comfortable.

Great hotel in a good location for concerts. Easy to get from the hotel into the city centre, and the surrounding around felt safe, with great food options. Staff at the hotel were very helpful in suggesting somewhere to grab brunch when we arrived. Hotel was modern and the breakfast was delicious! Can be noisy in the rooms, and the bedroom was very warm even with the window having been open all day. However overall a great hotel and would definitely stay here again

The light requires your key to the room to work. I’ve never experienced that before. We were on the bottom floor so with it hot, we had window open but then it was noisy. Could’ve been better

Everything was well done and our stay went well, but the condition of the hotel left a bit to be desired. The hallways were a little shabby and the noise levels were awful. You could hear everything. The rooms were nice though, and the cleaning crew were extremely courteous.

Room 363 Good sized room.Nicely decorated. Room was very warm- there was a fan in the room but AC would have been more appropriate. A walk in shower would have been easier to use.Grab rail next to bath was loose. Generous amount of tea and coffee. Friendly staff on reception and at breakfast. I thought breakfast was included with the twin room as it wasn't offered as an extra.We had to pay at the hotel.On the website you can book breakfast for other rooms as an extra and its cheaper than paying the hotel.

The property itself was beautiful, & the restaurant was delicious! Staff were friendly & room was spacious! While the area was quiet & restful, many reviews made out that the hotel was convenient to access the city. Unless you have a car, or are willing to spend 30 minutes on transit, with transfers, I wouldn’t say it was convenient to access the city. Similarly, it is not a convenient hotel when it comes to getting to the airport, unless you have a car. There are definitely places to stay that provide easier access to the city/airport, but if you have the time/money to spend making the journey, it’s a beautiful spot!
