The Martello Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. The only setback was the loud music which went on 3 AM. Besides that the staff went above and beyond the call of duty."

8/10 Good
"Staff were really helpful and friendly. Be aware that breakfast is not in a restaurant but is placed on your mini fridge the night before, so no cooked breakfast. We had yoghurt granola and pastries delivered at 9am. Also a small plate of meat and cheese. Milk and water supplied. We had the twin bedroom, rather dark, but cosy and beds were comfy. Bathroom was good. A couple more hooks would be handy! Plenty of gated parking. Overall good."

Rochestown Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good
"* Staff were friendly. * The room and facilities were clean. Beds were comfortable. * The food at the restaurant was delicious. Wait staff were delightful. We were confused at check in about having to reserve (full/hot) breakfast the night before. You can still order it in the a.m. at a slightly higher rate. I am sure it is a way for the hotel to have adequate supplies. * Parking garage nice addition. * Enjoyed the pool. * We didn't use the spa, but it looked nice. * Our only issues were: 1. Noise from bar goers outside late into the night. 2. No fans or air conditioning, so needed to open windows to cool room, see no. 1. 3. Hotel is popular with tours coming off the ferry, which can come in late at night, see No. 1 and 2. If you are booking for a Friday or Saturday night in the Summer, ask for a room away from the front of the building."

Charming Newly Renovated  Barnhouse in the heart of Enniskerry

Charming Newly Renovated Barnhouse in the heart of Enniskerry

8/10 Good
"The location was not ready for our arrival. Apparently, there had been complications with a rental from another platform the night before our arrival, and the owner thought she had cancelled all further rentals, without advising us.Fortunately, she agreed to have the property cleaned swiftly for us and we could proceed with our stay as planned for two nights with a few hours delay. She apologized greatly and provided a few food items for the next morning. There was a few issues with equipment in the apartment. ie: kitchen fan not functioning properly, Nespresso coffee maker with no compatible pods provided or possibly to buy some at the store, no freezer in the fridge, no hot water the morning we left.Overall, it was a nice stay. I would simply suggest some refurbishment, and better communication protocol with arriving guests."
