Pros:

I love this place. I used it when in Dublin for the College Football, as Dublin gets booked and expensive. This is a short train ride from Dublin, though Balbriggan itself is a lovely town. The hotel staff are friendly, they have a great bar and restaurant and the breakfast is excellent. The room was huge.

Ok for a one night stay but definitely not 4 star
Pros:

It was in good location and had car parking . Staff were friendly and breakfast was satisfactory.

Cons:

It’s definitely not 4 star . Bedroom was big but dated and smelt of must . No screen curtains on window in bedroom or bathroom that was completely over looked by building opposite it .

sehr netter Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die angebotenen Speisen im Restaurant bzw. der Bar waren wirklich gut und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war stimmig.
Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam
die kostenlose Tiefgarage am Hotel ist ebenfalls positiv zu bewerten, da wir täglich mit dem Auto unterwegs waren.

Cons:

Frühstück leider etwas einfältig, jeden morgen die gleiche dürftige Auswahl.
