tracy

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It's a great location if you are visiting Dun Laoghaire and there are stunning views. However, some of the balconies in one of the newer builds are concrete, meaning you can't see the view when sitting down, and there is no outdoor furniture. The rooms are pretty tired and in desperate need of a refurb. Beds are very comfortable and the room we had (Executive Sea View) was a great size. Service in the lounge is very slow but the staff are pleasant and helpful.

We spent three pleasant days at this hotel. Rooms are updated and well-laid out. Bed is super comfortable for those who just arrived on a flight from the US! Staff was competent and friendly enough. We tried to check in about 1-2 pm, originally they said could check in at 4 and store our bags, but a room immediately came free, which was very appreciated. Buffet breakfast and food in the cafe outside the bar were pretty good. All in all a good stay. Thank you!

Covid reduced service's in place

As per the title. Needed TP. etc. Not clear on how to get it. So I went to receptionist to source. Should be a better system in place. The beds were fabulous. Slept like a log. No noise at all. Beautiful property. Convenient to transport, ocean & walks. Would stay again.

Une nuit romantique royale

Une superbe nuit dans ce magnifique hôtel, juste en face de l'océan donc très pratique pour de jolies balades à toute heure. Le personnel était accueillant et les autres commodités telles que le spa et la piscine étaient très agréables. Un séjour romantique garanti !
