We had an unexpected layover in Dublin so this was a last second booking & I was super impressed. The girl has everything including an amazing restaurant & bar as well the pool there is really nice. The highlight of the hotel is definitely its staff.Everone from the reception desk to the bar to the pool attendant were unbelievably friendly & helpful in a way i have not experienced in a long time. Highly recommend this place!

Nice hotel, near Dublin airport. We stayed 1 night as our flight left for the US the next morning. Did not experience the restaurant or bar, but they looked nice.

The leisure club attached to the hotel was a great addition, plenty of equipment for any serious gym goers and a nice steam room, pool and jacuzzi to wind down in. The sauna was out of action. The bar the previous night was also spot on, a decent offering on the rail, friendly engaging staff a decent Guinness on draft as you would hope and expect. The room was cosy and comfortable and the bathroom even had a bath. The USB points weren’t all working but I used the power points instead. Will definitely come back 👍

I had a great stay at this hotel. The property was clean and exactly as pictured online. The staff were incredibly friendly and always helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel offers two restaurants, a well-equipped bar, and attached spa, pool, and sauna facilities, which were a nice bonus. Public transportation to both the city center and airport is very convenient, with services running every 15 minutes. I’d recommend getting a TFI Leap card to save on transport costs—it made getting around even easier. The only suggestion I’d offer is for the hotel to consider some updates or renovations to give the property a more modern look. However, overall, I had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
