Cosy, intimate traditional Irish pub with great staff, food, drink and music
Pros:

We spent the evening in the Armada Hotel bar and had a really outstanding time. The old pub forms the foundations for the much newer and bigger hotel buildings. It's a cosy, intimate and very friendly place with lots of old-style charm and atmosphere. The menu had limited vegan/vegetarian choice - it could do with more options - but the food itself was delicious, well-cooked and generously-portioned. The music was excellent, Tony Benn performing gems from over the years, getting the pub singing and clapping and taking requests - it was like having a personal jukebox. The staff were friendly, had a great sense of humour and seemed to really want you to enjoy your experience at the pub. We'll definitely be going back.

Poor 4 star hotel
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had good variety, bed was very comfortable.
Unfortunately we were in a family room with no view which was small. The room was extremely warm during the night, we opened the window and subsequently awaken during the early morning with kitchen staff talking outside and making noise. No communal area to sit and read, we had to go back to the bedroom. Poor selection of food in the restaurant, very good if you like fish otherwise not good.
In comparison with other 4 star hotels I do not understand the Armada receiving this rating.

Initially disappointment but management made it right - overall a great stay
Pros:

We were initially disappointed with the room we were given (#193). (Parking lot view, minimum sea view. it was not what we expected or hoped for. The hotel management handled it incredibly well. The next day, we were moved to a room with a total sea view, and was dramatically better - an unexpected upgrade that I felt they went above and beyond to make us happy and make things right.
Our whole experience turned around and we were truly able to enjoy our stay. I really appreciate how seriously they took our complaint, and how generously they resolved it.
The food and location are excellent. A great stay, and we would happily return, AND REQUEST ROOM 266

Pros:

Well the cead míle fáilte is alive and kicking in the Armada! From check-in to check-out, what an experience. Gorgeous, comfortable room with seaviews. Friendly, helpful, efficient staff. Excellent food and service throughout our 3-night stay. Live music every night in Johnny Burkes pub with open fires and a friendly barman. Would highly recommend

Spectacular setting. Amazing staff.
Pros:

My daughter’s wedding was fantastic on every level; spectacular setting, beautiful venue, food quality, service level etc.

However, the loveliest aspect was the culture and values reflected in each member of staff. They are hardworking and genuinely committed to supporting each other in making sure guests are looked after.

What an occasion!

Wonderful!
Pros:

Clean, great food and drinks choice. Perfect for a few nights stop after a busy schedule

Cons:

Not that I didn’t like it, but it would have been great to offer smaller cutlery for the younger guests. Everything else has been considered
