Great hotel option outside of high price Dublin. Park and take the train or bus into the center. Great spa and pool facilities, ample breakfast if you choose it and great village full of restaurants a short walk away.

Lovely staff and hotel with lots to do

We had a lovely one night stay gatecrashed by my 6 year old who keeps asking to go back. Staff were helpful and friendly, the pool was lovely, we had a fabulous meal in the hotel and my son was a fan of the pancakes at breakfast. We'll be back!

Hotel was lovely but the rooms had no towels in them which was strange. Had to ring for towels to be sent to room. Also no heating and had to get a heater.

We love hotel hopping. This place blew our expectations.. Staff were amazing, food was that of a, Michelin star restaurant. Unreal find for us. One of our now favourites. Can't believe how, amazing restaurant, bar and even breakfast was. Kids had a ball. So relaxing. Amazing value. Will be, back soon. Sarah on reception was so kind and professional. A must for anyone

Whole experience

Amazing, very comfortable but very warm. Kids loved the pool and the sauna steam room and hot tub were great. Dinner was lovely and served very quickly. Gym had a good range of machines, nice vibe and the whole leisure experience was lovely.

Family stay at Christmas

The hotel is in a wonderful location for a family holiday. Maynooth is a bustling town with plenty going on.The hotel swimming pool is lovely. The staff barely look at you. There's a great playground across the road from the hotel. We were disappointed with the kids club. The toys are broken or missing batteries and the activities weren't very engaging. The girls working at the kids club were very inexperienced and appeared bored. Trying to host a movie night by showing Jungle book on YouTube is less than adequate. The breakfast is wonderful, although the breakfast room spilled over into the bar and service was patchy. The restaurant is overpriced for what you get for dinner. However, there are an abundance of beautiful restaurants in Maynooth and a number of establishments delivering via Justeat. We're unlikely to stay here again as an enjoyable kids club is a priority for us.
