Great base for exploring Wicklow & South Dublin
Pros:

Fantastic location – walking distance to the town and so easy to get to Powerscourt by car or on foot. The food (both dinner & breakfast) was very impressive and the staff were so lovely & friendly-from the bar to the restaurant to the cleaning/reception staff. Made us feel really welcome. Lovely areas to sit & chat / have a drink & just generally a very characterful building.

Cons:

There was nothing major really. Perhaps a few extra touches could be added to the room - somewhere to hang a hand towel by the sink, a toilet roll holder & some charging plugs by the bed. None of this would stop us coming back by any means.

Stunning location, lovely breakfast!
Pros:

Beautiful setting, stunning surroundings. Summerhill House is not far from Kilruddery, our wedding destination.
Victoria (breakfast staff) was welcoming, friendly & helpful- couldn’t have done more for us. She was the ‘standout’ staff member of our whole stay! 😊
Breakfast was ample & choice was excellent. Viennoiserie was fresh & delicious!

Cons:

No in-room safe, no air conditioning. A fridge in the room would have been welcome. Lift was shoddy.
Breakfast juice was advertised as ‘freshly squeezed’ - it isn’t! It is from ‘concentrate.’ Cooked breakfast was delicious, although could’ve been hotter, as could the coffee.

Very poor value for money
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The property was dirty. I am surprised at previous reviews that say it was clean. There was hair in our shower tray, the carpets were unclean, there were dead flies on the windowsills. The bottom of the door from the breakfast room to the kitchen was very dirty, a spoon lay on the floor beside the door the whole time we were at breakfast with staff just walking past it. When checking out the girl on reception asked how was our stay, i made a face and said it was just allright, she smiled and said great, didnt ask for feedback, didnt want to know. This is very expensive for what it is, l would strongly urge people to check powerscourt before booking this hotel as you will probably find its not much more expensive. When you google this hotel ut shows a lady in a hot-tub and gives the impression it is a spa hotel, the spa is a separate building run by a different company.

Totally disappointed, don't trust on the reviews
Pros:

Only the location was good thing

Cons:

No A/C or cooling very warm in this summer weather only one fan was given on request
The room wasin the corner of upper floor, hard to reach room with doors, requested to change the room which wssy denied that hotel is full
No wifi!!!! AT ALL! despite asking still excuses had to rely on mobile internet throughout the stay, THEY DIDN'T GAVE THE PASSWORD FOR WIFI WITH GOOD SIGNAL
Breakfast not good had to ask for everything, DESPITE TELLING VEGAN STILL BROUGHT NON VEGAN STUFF AND SENT BACK
Half of the Room window was broken, OTHER WINDOW WAS NOT OPENING AT ALL
Toilet was awful very small and poorly designed. NO space to wash in sink
Definitely was a waste of money not worth it
They can't claim its 4 star, in my opinion if i have the choice i ll claim money back after this bad stay
