What guests think

Across reviews of The Lucan Spa Hotel, guests praise the friendly, helpful staff and convenient access to Dublin via nearby bus routes and the motorway, while noting the property’s traditional character and ample on site parking. Rooms are generally comfortable but dated, with many small bathrooms and no air conditioning, which can make traffic noise noticeable when windows are opened. Most find overall cleanliness good, though several mention worn bathrooms, weak shower pressure, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses. Breakfast and pub meals receive frequent compliments, though some describe the breakfast as basic and the coffee underwhelming. Expect a traditional, practical base outside the city with warm service and easy transport.

We stopped overnight on our way to the ferry. The room was clean and comfortable. The lift was out of order and as I'm a wheelchair user I was concerned but the staff were extremely helpful giving us a ground floor room and sending breakfast to the room as we couldn't access the restaurant. My only criticism is the price of drinks in the bar was extortionate. We would stay again

We pulled off the highway to a old building that looked abandoned. We were worried..... turns out you have to drive behind / to side of old building to get to the Lucan Spa Hotel. Hotel was good. Nice staff. Great breakfast included (glad because this hotel was a little pricey). When we left we drove down and it said we needed a code to exit property. Went back to receptionist who said no code on weekday and just to pull closer to gate and it would open. This would have been good to know before checking out. Overall decent stay if you have a vehicle

The semmed staff lovely, but it's the hotel's disrepair, we had damp patches in our room, curtains had stains in ten backing of them and off runners, one of the radiators wasnt even working, the furniture had digs and scarps in it, the bed runner had inground food in it on the back part, and its restaurant breakfast made us ill, and on top of that unless you know the location be warned its on top of a motorway, good for convenience but my god you heard trafiic day and night.

Ok hotel for the price. Bathroom looked dirty at first, but it was actually spots where the enamel had worn away on the tub and toilet. Bathroom needed a makeover. When they serviced our room they didn't leave any new rolls of toilet paper so I had to go ask for that. We had drunk the instant coffee and they replaced it with all decaf... At check out there was no one at the desk, no sign, no bell. I waited a few minutes and saw no one so I left the key on the desk.

Unfortunately although the room is spacious and good parking room was very close to motorway and the noise is an issue. However, if you keep the windows closed then the noise isn’t bad. For us it was hot day and had to keep windows open. Wasn’t a good night for us!!

The picture looked like it was out in the country so would be quiet but it was right next to the motorway. Thank goodness for the triple glazing cutting out the road noise. Room was too hot overnight but we couldn't own the windows because of the road noise. But the staff were lovely.

People walking into your room in the middle of the night. Chambermaid walking in without knocking early in the morning. Food not as described in the menu, shower not working. Upgraded to bridal suite when the walk-ins happened, but even this room was very shabby, bathroom door wouldn't close, dirty in places and just needs general TLC. I would not have been a happy bride.

Over all our stay was pleasant. The beds and pillows were good. There was no air conditioning so the room was kind of warm. I would not stay here in the summer when it’s hot outside (i am American and we are obsessive about our air conditioning). I did not like that we were only given one towel for every person. Normally that’s okay but the shower was not enclosed inside the bathroom. Therefore water just gets everywhere. The breakfast was about 12 dollars (ten euros) and we enjoyed it. Not a bad hotel. I would stay again. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Dublin.
