The parking area was really safe. The room was excellent and the evening meal was really good. The breakfast was ok but the bacon on both mornings was not good as it had been kept hot and gone hard. All cooked items on the second morning were very greasy so not so enjoyable. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The room was really good too.

Nice hotel , wasn't advised to book dinner at reception as I was only looking for bar food , bar area is pretty small so lots of people were standing around waiting for tables , seems they chose design over practically when it's such a big hotel . Didn't bother me too much but quite a few people waited a very long time to be seated and then fed .

The good: staff was very friendly and good was good. We won't stay at this hotel again.

AC waa broken in our room and we asked multiple times about it to be told it was not working in our room. We were moved after the 3rd time asking about our AC to a room on the same floor to only find this rooms AC was broken as well. Went back downstairs for them to then say the problem was the whole floor and moved us to another room that finally had wifi but now we had to sleep in a double and we are both very tall people and it was still uncomfortable. This was for our honeymoon and there was no effort to make us more comfortable and we were treated as an annoyance and not paying customers . Very disappointing.

The room that I booked was different from the one I was given. The site description said the room had a separate bath and shower, however my room had only a bath/shower combo. The room felt like the walls were super thin, we could hear every door closing in other rooms and at times felt like someone was coming into our room as the noise was so loud.

Where to begin. From the moment we checked in, I knew we had made a horrible mistake. After a three week European adventure, we wanted to stay in a four star. To be honest, I would only give it one for the kind and compassionate housekeeping staff. The front desk staff and managers are rude and inconsiderate. They ignored multiple requests to fix air conditioning (which they admitted to knowing was in need of service) and refused ti bring us a fan for over 24 hours. Being in the hospitality industry, they should reevaluate how the guest is the focus of their work. As nothing about our experience made us feel welcomed. The ignorant and rude check out was the cherry on top of a horrible experience. Don’t waste your money, stay somewhere else.

Michelin should give the chef at the Urban Kitchen 5 stars. The haddock in white wine in parchment was divine. Fresh vegetables with a mashed potato you have to eat to experience tastebud bliss Outstanding and compassionate waitress. The manager was old world elegance and I could have talked to all evening. I was shocked to find a hotel this elegant within a short taxi ride from an airport Perfection

Good hotel. There is a bus right outside the hotel that will take you to Dublin center (ride is 45 minutes, but it is way better than trying to drive into Dublin). Only ding on the stay is that the staff didn't fill us in on payment for the bus. Be sure to ask. Fortunately, the driver was very friendly and forgiving.
