Top Rathmines Hotel Reviews

The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service and free upgrades of our room!"

The Grand Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Fine place to stay, the rooms were a bit small / cramped e.g. found myself having to maximise use of available space to iron a shirt, but overall it was comfortable and staff were helpful. We did have an issue which the staff sorted out excellently and quickly so definitely good service. Would stay again for a place to sleep, less so to spread out. But that also may have been that we got a smaller room."
