Top Donard Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay staff was lovely will be alot better when the spa has completed its renovation"

Glashaus Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a flying visit. I like the convenience of the parking and the Luas outside the door and the shopping centre across the road. A shame hotel pubs close so early. I got back just after 11pm a drink would have been nice to finish off the day but the bar was closed. There was a time when residents could get a drink late into the night, that no longer seems possible. I was just looking for a night cap, not a drinking session."

Killashee Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have to give this property a 10+ rating. The property is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Marie at the front desk was amazing, friendly and extremely knowledgeable! We enjoyed everything about our stay and highly recommend. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and the bar staff were extremely friendly and made very good drinks. Will definitely stay again if we make it back to the area! Thanks for the great hospitality!!"
