The bathroom in our room was dated and very worn. At busy times the hotel seemed short staffed. We found this in the Malpas restaurant, the hotel bar and at breakfast one morning. This leads to the staff being under pressure and stressed and service suffering. When not overworked the staff were excellent.

The room was spacious, breakfast very good. Local area and location were great.

Getting food was confusing. Not clear when we could eat where.

Kiddo really enjoyed the pool. Nice decore and helpful staff.

Loved it all, Cosmetic maintenance needed in the Bathroom

The bedroom was fantastic, it was in the old castle part of the building and had great charm, fabulous bathroom and very comfortable bed, the work area, dressing area and coffee area were most appreciated, loved the window seat ! some cosmetic maintenance is needed on the tiles in bathroom but overall fabulous charming room. The dungeon bar had great ambience and great food, service was exceptional and it was very cosy with the fires etc. The pool area is great, ended and started my days in the hot tub. Very nice and great to access it directly from main hotel. The reception area and cocktail bar reminded me of a cruise ship, old school charm and opulence, great background music and great hospitality. The breakfast was fantastic, huge choice and the staff took great care of me, there was two men servers, Dublin accents, gave exceptional service. I was staying here as I was working close by, but would love to return with my parents and grandparents, they will love the hospitality and the service and the whole atmosphere and feeling of the place.

Overall noisy; would’ve liked to sit and read my book somewhere but the lobby is a café. Was told not to sit in certain areas and there was nowhere to relax. Room was extremely hot, even when temperature outside was cold - needed to sleep with the fan on.

Great location, walking distance from Dalkey’s high street.

Room was small

Beautiful hotel with great service. Wellness center was good and breakfast was lovely. Hotel is somewhat pricey but suppose that's how hotels in Ireland are. Sauna was nice!

The only thing I would say is that as guests we sometimes struggled to get a table in the main lobby/bar for a quiet bite to eat. Just feel that guests should get priority for this.

Very friendly & accommodating from everyone,breakfast had a great selection,facilities great.

Table location at breakfast

Breakfast was pretty ok, but we were out at a table right next to the buffet where our chairs were kicked accidentally quite a bit.

The meal in the restaurant down stairs was below par in my opinion for the price they charge the courses .

Staff were lovely , the room was spacious and very clean . he atmosphere in the building is nice and homely and the entrance/ reception area with the open fire is very welcoming .The breakfast in the morning was excellent also a nice selection to pick from and fresh from the kitchen . The location is lovely and really enjoy our walks to the village and up the hill the following morning for our yearly walk around the park .

The warm friendly ambience of the hotel, the excellent staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Our very pleasant room with a view of the bay. Food a good standard perhaps a different choice after 2 nd day.

Our room had a poor view and was quite dark with poor lighting.

Staff, location, food and comfort were perfect.
