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.

Nice stay at this hotel - overall the decor is a tad dated and could do with an uplift but hit said not take from the overall comfy and cosy stay and experience. Quality of bedding was excellent and I have to commend all and every staff I dealt with from check in through to breakfast staff and evening ba staff ( Harrys Bar) - everyone was super helpful, professional and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. Truly!

The room wasn't ready when we arrived so we had to wait 90 minutes from about 2pm to 3:30. The room was clean, but dated with stains on the carpet with a splitting seam in one corner, quite a bit of silicone caulking in the bathroom which had a very small shower stall for a suite. Biggest issue was finding the toilet lid up and urine in the toilet when we returned to the room after it had been cleaned. We always put the lid down and flush so someone else had used the toilet. That same day the replacement small carton of water was on its side on the nightstand instead of in the small room refrigerator so it felt like someone was interrupted while cleaning and didn't quite finish. Since we weren't in the room much it wasn't worth raising an issue, but we'll likely try another hotel the next time we're in the south Dublin area. A minor annoyance was the in-room coffee replenishment wasn't consistent. It started with four tubes of coffee (caffeinated) and we used two a day. Sometimes they would replenish one, and other times none. We had at least two tubes but

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.

We spent three pleasant days at this hotel. Rooms are updated and well-laid out. Bed is super comfortable for those who just arrived on a flight from the US! Staff was competent and friendly enough. We tried to check in about 1-2 pm, originally they said could check in at 4 and store our bags, but a room immediately came free, which was very appreciated. Buffet breakfast and food in the cafe outside the bar were pretty good. All in all a good stay. Thank you!
