Décevant et mauvais rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Lits confortables
Grande chambre et frigo

Cons:

Nous avons payé une chambre triple a 300euros la nuit sans petit dej ce qui est excessif par rapport aux autres établissements irlandais du même standing.
Vue sur les poubelles.... avec rangement des poubelles tot le matin énorme bruit qui réveille.
Rideau cassé noccultant qu'une partie de la lumière la nuit.
Carrelage de la salle de bain fissuré.
Pas de après shampoing/ lotion pour le corps / shower cap.
Accès a la piscine limité sur réservation créneau de 46min idem pour la salle de jeux des enfant.

Top class from start to finish
Pros:

We had a brilliant stay from start to finish. We travelled with our two small children and the hotel was very well suited for families.

Dinner was excellent. The kids were given crayons and colouring books, there was a kids’ club that evening, and their food was brought out straight away, which was a great touch. The food for us was top class too.

The next morning we booked a slot for the pool, and there’s also a small playground for the kids.

Overall, we couldn’t fault the hotel. Great food, lovely staff and excellent service. Would definitely recommend, especially for families with young children.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The hotel was big and spacious. Hotel staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were.comfy, clean and very spacious. Lots of room to store bags and move around the room. We had 2x beds as were sharing with 2 little kids. The restauarant down stairs had great staff, service, food and drinks. They have plenty on if your staying with kids. Each night had an activity until 9pm. There was a quiz night the night we were there. The swimming pool we didnt get to but you can allocate a time you would like to use it. Breakfast buffet was great. Lots of different options with tea and coffee. Parking was great. There was outside seating and a small playground for kods to run off extra energy. Very close to Tayto park which is why we stayed. Would stay again for sure.

Cons:

Nothing

Cons:

On Friday evening when we arrived the swimming pool was closed. Then on Saturday morning when we went down to breakfast we were told that breakfast wasn't included for the price we paid for the stay we were shocked. And the money the hotel charged for breakfast was expensive. Also during our stay the elevator s were acting up with one of the two fully out of order so for the majority of our stay we had to use the stairs and with young children this wasn't easy as we where on the third floor

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, rooms were clean and spacious and the location is excellent

Cons:

Only issue was that both lifts were out of service on both days, therefore had to carry heavy suitcases up 4 flights of stairs.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful

Cons:

I didn't like that we were charged an additional €50 refundable deposit. Were in our 40s with 1 kids and I thought it was unnecessary. If we were young and with no kids fair enough but not as mature adults with children
