Loughabor Vacations from $1,153

Check in was easy. My daughter and I arrived in Dublin early in the morning and had no issue accessing early check in. The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. The location was also great. Would definitely return.

The hotel is beautiful, with the character of the original features intact. Upon arrival the foyer/porter staff were exceptionally professional, friendly and intuitive. The updated rooms are gorgeous. Breakfast buffet was included with our stay, and was fantastic. My only criticism is a big one. We came early to the hotel due to our early flight from Canada. We were told that check-in wasn't officially until 3 pm, there was a good possibility that we could get in early, possibly in the morning, we would just have to leave our email. My husband filled out the form, and somehow his email was copied incorrectly. We waited 6 1/2 hours. We checked with the incredibly busy staff 3 times during those hours, and we were told each time "it's not ready yet, we will email you." Finally my husband asked for a manager, and when he checked into it, we were told the email was sent an hour and a half earlier...to the wrong email. The staff is very young. Mistakes happen, I get it. But this was a huge mistake that could have been easily avoided. I would suggest a different system for this. And this is the sole reason I cannot give 5 stars.

The property is only a couple blocks from the spire/needle and lots of shopping and restaurants. There are a few nagging maintenance issues that need to be addressed, i.e., diverter valves, door handles, window hardware, TV service (no audio for the main platform), etc. More importantly, the property is a half block from a street maintenance lot. Consequently, it is very noisy late night into early morning when these services are in full force. Ergo, leaving windows open leads to constant noise and closing them only slightly mitigates the noise from the near constant activity.

Even better than I anticipated, the room was beautiful and I was blown away with how nice the gym was

Great stay. Would recommend highly. Front desk staff were amazing.
