Bathroom covered in black mold. Toilet doesnt flush. You can tell they don't update or maintain this hotel. Everything is out of date. The bathroom seems like an after thought. Getting in and out of the shower is super unsafe. Not worth the price at all.

The rooms are quite small but the view of the sea makes up for it. Plus, who is spending time other than sleeping in such a beautiful town? The hotel was very clean and the receptionists were great with communication. The restaurant was very lively and served fantastic food. It is very close to bus stops that take you right into dublin and a grocery store. Had such a wonderful stay here, would recommend for the view and proximity to the beach itself!

The staff could've been friendlier when we arrived. They seemed distracted. The hotel in general was disappointing to be honest, very expensive given breakfast wasn't included. The hotel itself felt a little tired.

Two nights older couple.
The rooms seemed newly refurbished, except for one bed, which made noises when sat on, or turning over. Nice bedding and plenty of pillows.The TV system was minimal (not connected to internet so couldn't use smart TV features or apps). The room was spotless, as was the bathroom. The tub/shower combination could use some wall installed hand holds for those of us that are older and stiffer to increase safety. Rain showerhead was nice. Good hot water flow. We didn't avail of the restaurant or bar.

Will stay again when in the area
Lovely staff. Pub was nice and had lots of seating. Seafood chowder for dinner was excellent. The room was big and had an ocean view and a lovely seating area looking out to it. Very comfortable bed.Only one tiny complaint. The toilet is jammed right up against the bathroom radiator so its difficult to sit on it properly as the radiator digs into your left leg. Other than that its perfect.
