Disappointed, reviews mislead me to stay
Pros:

Very nice staff. Always with a smile. Nice location with pretty much everything you would need close by.
Bed comfy and nice pillows.

Cons:

Room dated and not like pictures on site. Cigarette burns on furniture and very tatty room repairs.
Bathroom was dirty and sink plug hole full of hairs and scum. Towels worn out.
Bathroom was so outdated and tiles and fitting cracked and broken everywhere.
Shower and bath dirty.
I have pictures to justify my review. As many times, we are fobbed off with a lame response from establishments.
I work hard and self employed so I pay for my stays.
This was supposed to be executive suite. It is certainly not.
Hotel response will be we are updating rooms and refurbishing. Doesn’t matter I should not be charged almost £150 for a poor quality room/stay.
Breakfast was cold and poor quality. Left most food and had toast and sausage.
Unfortunately could not do anything when I told reception.

Really disappointed with this “hotel”
Pros:

Car park was empty. Always good for a guest.

Cons:

Room advertises a TV with satellite channels. No signal for the duration. They tried to tell me it was a tv provider issue. They didn’t know is that I work for that provider and this was NOT the case. Just fobbed off. Had friends staying, one had signal the others didn’t. The room was freezing. Could smell cigarette smoke going to the lift. Room 222 is where I stayed. Radiator not working, freezing room. Was offered a drink for my son and I in the restaurant because of no tv. I don’t drink, and my son is 15. Based on my experience here I decided to dine out of the hotel. I would not stay here again if it was free. €189 per night , I feel robbed.

Lovely Get Away
Pros:

We had a lovely stay in this hotel this weekend. We stayed in a lifestyle suite and it was so clean. Some finishes could be updated eg. Sealant around the back and paint on the bottom of the doors flaking but a grand 3 star stay. The staff set it aside from other places we stayed. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food in off the bone was delicious and so reasonably priced. The staff in there were fabulous to. Breakfast was delicious and there was great selection. There were some works going on near our room but no disturbances.

Great meeting space
Pros:

Recently stayed for a business trip, was facilitating a conference being held in the hotel's meeting space.

Great parking for the attendees and guests, Off The Bone lovely for dinner, conference facilities are nice and modern.

I stayed in a classic room and could do with a little updating but service throughout the hotel was lovely, breakfast was tasty and room so clean.

Marta that looks after meetings was very helpful with AV set up. Overall a nice stay and very convenient for conferences.

An excellent stay for a group booking
Pros:

We had a great experience from start to finish last weekend in the Great National South Court Hotel. We booked this hotel as they were able to accommodate a large group (43!!) of us travelling for a university dance competition. Tara from Bookings was excellent to deal with, and made everything so easy for us. The staff at reception made check-in smooth and seamless, and were prepared for us when we arrived. The rooms were spacious and clean, and breakfast was a big hit with everyone travelling. The stay was great value for money, especially as a large group. There was a lovely calm atmosphere in the hotel. The location was great with multiple restaurants available on site, as well as nearby shops and a bus stop taking us straight to UL.

A massive thank you to Tara and all at the hotel for making our stay so enjoyable and stress-free!

Pros:

Nice hotel, great staff & very convenient to the city & suburbs.

Cons:

I booked through booking.com & paid €159 at the hotel on check in. I liked the 12 midday check out which was one of the reasons i stayed there. Unfortunately i was woke up by a team of builders who were doing building renovations on floor 3 where i was supposed to be getting a good sleep. I checked out early & complained at reception about my whole stay being ruined by these renovations that neither booking.com or the hotel informed me about before i paid. The reception staff were very helpful & gave me a refund of €19. I wasn't hapoy with such a paltry amount but didn't want to create a fuss. I like the hotel & the staff are always very helpful but to give me a refund of €19 after my nights break was totally ruined was a tad insulting to be honest. I look forward to your reply.

I would 100% stay again
Pros:

Lots of parking. Spacious room, clean and comfortable, Brilliant Staff, nice breakfast.

Cons:

The walls are quite thin and you could hear people turning on the switch in their room.

However the staff are great there was an issue at 2am where a bunch of ladies thought it would be a great idea to sing and dance around their room for ages. Once I called the down at 3am and informed them of this they came up and sorted the issue and they settled down. (Normally I wouldn’t have been too bothered however I had my daughter with me and they kept waking her up and she had a concert performance the following morning)
