Room was very comfortable. Probably a bit dated at this stage. TV etc, disappointed with the old fashioned type hairdryer in bathroom but overall a very comfortable sleep. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially a young man Paul who was at reception today and went out of his way to help an elderly relative. Breakfast was standard buffet. Expensive i felt but probably standard rate for hotels these days.

This hotel has been my favorite while visiting family in South Dublin. It’s right by the pier and Sandy Cove, great walks to get fresh sea air. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Also near the DART station. Traditional rooms are very small though. I like their executive room with a sofa though the shower is better in the traditional room. Many rooms don’t have a view. If they decorate the inner building area it would look more pleasant. Tea room is always crowded and Hardy’s bar is popular in the evenings.

Clean spacious room but was executive. Staff most of them friendly and helpful. Bathroom door stop was just by sink and I kept hitting it with my foot - not good. Should have alternative coffee to coffee machine as had kettle to make tea. Should have instructions on how to use coffee machine. It was easy to knock off as kept going red on me but very helpful member of staff showed me what was wrong

Évènement sur place lors de notre nuit, musique, à fond, beaucoup de mal à pouvoir dormir. Je conseille de prendre la vue face mer sinon vous êtes face à un parking, qui éclairait toute la nuit. Et qui traverse la chambre, c’est comme s’il faisait jour.

It's a great location if you are visiting Dun Laoghaire and there are stunning views. However, some of the balconies in one of the newer builds are concrete, meaning you can't see the view when sitting down, and there is no outdoor furniture. The rooms are pretty tired and in desperate need of a refurb. Beds are very comfortable and the room we had (Executive Sea View) was a great size. Service in the lounge is very slow but the staff are pleasant and helpful.
