County Dublin Golf Vacations

Loved our stay - staff were wonderful, breakfast was very good - lot of variety, free parking (although limited), Mespil Rd offers free parking on weekends, which was great.

Beautiful hotel, disappointing service The hotel itself is beautiful, with lovely grounds and a very comfortable room. I was genuinely sad to leave early. Unfortunately, the service really affected our experience. The receptionist who checked us in was unfriendly and seemed annoyed when I tried to ask questions. I requested chamomile tea for the room, but it never arrived. I had also requested hypoallergenic sheets, which were not provided, and I experienced terrible itching. The Wi-Fi did not work properly and reception was not helpful when we asked for assistance. The Tonic Health Club is also very small and was constantly full of children, making it difficult to relax. Earth & Vine was closed, so we ate at 22 Bar & Restaurant. Prices were very high and the menu differed from the one online. However, the waiters were lovely and my partner really enjoyed his steak. On my partner’s birthday, a lovely waitress offered to help with his cake and asked the manager if they could sing Happy Birthday. His negative reaction happened right in front of me, which was uncomfortable, although they eventually did it. A gorgeous hotel, but sadly the lack of warmth and helpfulness from some staff really lets it down.

The location is pretty good, a block from St Stephens Green. The hotel is good but I think that the 5 star rating doesn’t do it any favors because it is not comparable to other 5 star properties in the city. It is a good hotel and that is it, nothing special about it. The breakfast is okay but the service is pretty bad. Lots of waiters trying to hard not to make eye contact so they cam avoid taking your order. Stuff we ordered just never arrived on a couple of occasions. The bar is very nice with good service. We didnt try restaurant for lunch or dinnee because there are many options available close by.

Great location to airport and super public transportation to City Centre.

I dont usually write reviews, but I think it is important for others to be aware of potential shortcomings of this property to make an informed decision about future stays. This hotel was fine if you are looking for a cheap, no-frills hotel(/motel) experience, but it falls woefully short given the price and continued use of the descriptor "luxury." At its heyday, I am sure this was a stunning property. However, it is clear that not a THING has been updated or improved in at least 25 years, including the awful mattresses and flat pillows, inoperable room refrigerators (that have been left in the rooms with notes inside that say something like, "this is not a refrigerator"), lack of outlets in the bathroom, moldy drywall and peeling caulk in the bathrooms, heavy and cumbersome corridor doors, and antiquated decor and furnishings. Further, my initial experience checking in was bizarre, as I was made to sign an agreement of sorts that, among other things, prohibited the "consumption of any 'take away' food on the premises." When I asked for clarification about this clause, the receptionist insisted that it referred to food deliveries to the hotel (and in the same breath, offered to make dinner reservations for us that night in the in-house restaurant). However interpreted, trying to strong arm guests into exclusively eating at the on-site restaurant is wild and yet completely in line with the gaslight-y nature of how this hotel has been advertised. Exercise caution when booking!

Super clean hotel with great staff. Breakfast was awesome too.

A great location for two golf courses and a stroll down the beach.

Let down by the size of the room and also that the TV Channels were very few. Staff attended the room but offered no explanation or meaningful help
