Very pleasant, the breakfast selection and staff at Fahrenheit is something you shouldn’t miss!
Pros:

Beautiful property filled with history and amazing works of art. The staff was wonderful and attentive.

Cons:

The only drawback was our dinner to celebrate my daughter’s birthday in Knights Bar. They were super busy so the service was a bit slow and the Maitre de didn’t pass on the information that we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday.

Nice but an expensive hotel for a small (deluxe) room, a long way from Dublin centre.
Pros:

Very good buffet breakfast. Staff in the restaurant were very helpful and attentive. Car park was a good size and we were able to park on arrival without difficulty. Rooms were small but clean and had a large bed, TV, kettle. Bathroom was shower with no bath.

Cons:

Very expensive compared to the other hotels we stayed in while in Ireland. It was also the smallest of all the rooms we experienced.
Restaurant was also very expensive. A one course meal for four with a couple of drinks came to just under €200….

Pros:

10 out of 10!

We stayed here for one night with breakfast to attend the Bon Jovi concert at Croke Park as part of my birthday weekend, and everything was absolutely perfect.

The service was great and very welcoming, especially at the reception desk during check-in. Our room was clean and very tidy. My husband had requested the rose petals and champagne package for an additional price, which was beautifully set up.

In terms of location, you can easily walk to and from the city center if you enjoy walking like we do. If walking isn't for you, taxis are readily available as an alternative option. After the concert, we walked back to the hotel from Croke Park. It took about 50 minutes, but it was a safe and pleasant walk. Many other people did the same, which makes sense given that 90,000 people needed transport!

The hotel even gave me a complimentary gift because we stayed exactly on my 45th birthday, which was such a lovely gesture. As for the hotel itself, what else can I say? Just book it and see it for yourself, folks! The architecture and design will absolutely blow your mind.

We are definitely coming back to celebrate more events in the future. I also forgot to mention that the car park is free of charge, and they even have charging stations for electric cars. This is incredibly convenient for anyone traveling by car.

Thank you for this lovely experience and making my birthday special 💕

Kindly customer

Cons:

I have no complaints—it was a lovely stay.
