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!

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.

Nice hotel, staff on training!
The hotel was nice, but there was a serious lack of experienced staff in the evenings and night times. Bar staff were mainly 'being trained', and so it was very difficult to get a drink or any other order. The service was slow and poor. I got a glass of water in a glass which was cracked and chipped. The senior/managerial staff were good, but they were few and far between.
