Breakfast was ok. Could have been hotter. Sausages and bacon could have been cooked more. Our room on both mornings had no hot water and the radiator in bedroom didn’t work. The fan in bathroom did not work either. All was reported at time. Disappointing for a 5 star hotel

Just a suggestion, but the live singer in Friday 24th, who was amazing, but sang to an almost empty bar, where as, if maybe relocated to another area, perhaps the vast reception or the smaller front area bar, it would have been more inclusive..

I was going to the Steelers game in Dublin and chose to stay outside the city for a bit of quiet in the evenings. Great choice! Easy trip in (from the train stop a few blocks away). I especially enjoyed the bars and restaurants in the hotel. It's a lovely place!

We stayed here for a week. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the area was nice. We took taxi’s into Dublin for activities each day, during low traffic times the fee was reasonable but during high traffic times it can cost up to about $50 US. Taxi drivers always arrived early like 15-25 minutes but are always willing to wait.
