Edgeworthstown Holidays

advertises airport shuttle but it’s misleading as it’s not part of the booking

Great hotel at a great price

I booked this by accident and didn’t realize that it was a room, but it worked out well. It was convenient to the airport. The room was spacious and comfortable. The thing that caused me concern was that it didn’t have a private bath, but that was not an issue. We were able to use the facilities at will with no wait or inconvenience. I hadn’t stayed in a place like this before, but I would consider staying again. We had privacy. I wasn’t able to make tea in my room, but I didn’t ask for help either, so, not a big deal.

I'm not sure if I was trolled by this property. I had asked for a "quieter" room on the top floor in my booking request and was told pretty quickly that it was "approved". Unfortunately, when I arrived (within 30 minutes of the opening of check-in time) I was given a room on the middle floor, directly across from the elevator and stairs for the entire property. As expected, it was loud, from above and both sides and from people coming to and from the stairs (like, had to turn up the TV to hear it over the noise kind of loud). I am unsure if all the rooms are this loud because I can only review what I was given. The rugs were taped down on the edges with masking tape, and were pretty dirty - it was a shoes-on kind of place, but otherwise it was clean and adequately sized with dated/damaged decor. The walls are thin, there was a family with small childern next to me at one point, and the housekeeping routine noise in the AM does not allow for any kind of "sleeping in" in the morning. Reception never actually had anyone present at any point when I came or went from the property. The property itself is well-located if you're needing something near UCD as I was. There are few options this close to UCD, but I'm not sure I would stay here again given my personal experience. I'd say good value for money if you're not as annoyed with the same kind of issues I encountered.
