Pros:

This was such a cute hotel. The staff was super friendly and the pub had great Trad Music, food, and atmosphere. The hotelmis definitely older but the voww of the beach and extra large room more than make up for it!

Pros:

Only stayed one night, fell over the plinth that the bath stood on in my room and cracked a rib - so a painful experience. Would have liked breakfast to be provided for the price.

Pros:

Very quaint hotel. Dining on site for lunch and dinner; walking distance to coffee shops and other breakfast choices. Lovely, warm and courteous staff. Eager to please! We chose this place as easy to access from Dublin while getting used to left hand side driving and it allowed us easy access to Wicklow area which is beautiful!
The bed in our room could do with an upgrade, both otherwise very pleased with our stay!

Pros:

Very cute location! Pub & hotel is decorated very cute! They give you cute little cupcakes as a gift! There is no AC on 3rd floor rooms and when we mentioned we were hot, We were promptly given a fan! Wish they had mini fridges & microwaves since we stayed a week. Is a cute & nice old little place!

Nice during the weekdays noisy during the weekends
Pros:

Too high costs with too few staff: it seems that the hotel’s management is experiencing or experimenting with staff shortages, particularly at reception. No breakfast. No parking (you need to look around, it was problematic during the weekend).
The staff makes miracles: all were attentive and helpful (Amalia is exceptional). But the number of emails before check-in (and even before the check-out) is excessive: when you are on holiday, the last thing you want to do is read all those automatic messages from the hotel – you really need to reduce it.
It was very noisy during the weekend. The staff is honest with you about that – we were informed. After we booked the room already (no cancellation possible). And when I say “noisy” it means that you literally sleep above the open bar with people drinking and laughing until 2am. No noise at the last Sun-Mon night.
The rooms are greatly decorated. Nice embankment to walk or run, a nice beach to swim – but the one in Greystones (not far drive) is better.

Pros:

Asked for an early check in and Amelia(?) made it work. Even took our luggage to the room while we went for a walk around the neighbourhood as we had to wait a short time. All staff members are friendly and helpful. Would stay at the Palm again

Hundvänligt och strandnära
Pros:

Vi hade med oss vår lilla hund och hon var så välkommen, även i restaurangen. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Hotellet har bästa läget utmed strandpromenaden.

Although the property is old and the facility is not upgraded to a standard but the serenity of the sea and courteous staff overshadows the negativities.

Pros:

The hotel room was spacious and beautiful, and had wonderful old world amenities, but in a newly upgraded way. I love the fact that at night you could hear the ocean waves crashing across the street. Additionally, the staff was helpful and super pleasant. What a great place to stay and in a beautiful area!
