Bathroom was very small. When i booked the room it said balcony with sea view. That wasnt the vase whrn i got to the room.

Way over priced, facilites are outdated. Bathroom was very small.

The room was nice with a reasonable sized balcony, but the bathroom was very small and badly laid out. I had a bath but it was difficult to get into and the water barely covered my knees. We had dinner in the Mapas restaurant which was good but the portion size was very small with hardly any vegetables.

Nice situation, on top of a hill with stunning views of Dublin Bay surrounded by mature trees in a pleasant suburb.

Delicious breakfast and very kid friendly too. Staff went out of their way to make extra pancakes for our son

Breakfast was average and very poor selection on bar menu also waiter kept making mistakes didn't particularly enjoy the experience Also room service did not do a good job at cleaning up on second morning my five year old would make the bed better

Foyer area and pool

Stayed in April 2023

Poor condition of decor and room staff did a poor job on cleaning.

The double room was good the twin room was nothing special. General decor was in poor condition throughout the building. Breakfast was moderate.

The hotel itself is a bit old and we had an issue in our bathroom when you ran the water. We knew there was an issue with discolouration of water in Dublin but worryingly, when we ran the sink tap there was a leak onto the floor from underneath the unit. The gym was OK, but again, the handles of the cross-trainer was frayed and just looked old and used.

The hotel is impressive from the outside. The location is amazing and we had a car to get there so that made life a lot easier. This would be difficult to get to on public transport. Check-in was pretty straight forward and we were easily able to make our way to the room, which, I have to say was one of the biggest rooms I've ever stayed in! The view from our room was incredible!

i think the cost of breakfast should be cheaper.

decor, very relaxing, location. One of the best hotels i have ever stayed in the world. I would highly recommend.

It's more a recommendation - provide an information sheet for all guest with all the opening times for meals, gym etc . The reception staff tell you it all when you check in but by the time you get to your room you've forgotten most of it.

Dalkey is a commuter town so our plan was to park at the Dart station for about €5 (it’s 5 mins drive away but about 25 mins walk from the hotel - and there’s a big hill which might be a bit much for small feet on the way back after a long day in Dublin) However there were no parking spots in the long term car park next to the station and nowhere else in the vicinity to park for more than 2 hours. Taxis aren’t immediately available at the hotel either so our advice would be to book a taxi well in advance for both journeys with the assistance of the hotel staff.

Great facilities - particularly for families - our family room was so spacious - and very friendly staff. Was brilliant to have access to a pool too. Food was lovely and the surroundings were scenic and pretty with great coast walls nearby. Dalkey is a lovely historic village with lots of lovely cafes and places to eat and its heritage centre had a really entertaining tour with actors in costume where children got to make their own coins at the end - it was really interactive and lots of fun for my 8 year old son. Great fit getting into Dublin on the Dart. Also only a couple of Dart stops away from Greystones (which has great restaurants too).

We were traveling with a couple who had an issue going up steps. The steps to enter the building seemed like a challenge to them.

The check-in process was seamless! Beds are comfortable.

Stayed in February 2023

No air conditioning, the room was ridiculously hot, we had the fan on and the door to the room open to try and cool the room down, we had turned the radiators off as soon as we arrived but this the heat was coming from either kitchens below or the near by swimming pool. For the price, I expected luxury, but the wallpaper was damaged in multiple areas and the room itself was extremely dated.

The breakfast was lovely, live music was good.
