What guests think

Travellers describe Midlands Park Hotel as central with friendly staff and standout breakfasts, offering comfortable rooms and leisure facilities, though expectations should consider limited air conditioning in most rooms and some noise from traffic, the bar, or other guests.

The pool, spa and gym are appreciated, but several reviews mention late opening hours, refurbishment limiting access, and a cool pool temperature for children. Parking arrangements vary, from free external options to paid multi-storey spaces that can feel tight. Suites are spacious and popular, while some standard rooms feel dark or a bit dated with limited in-room amenities. Overall, a comfortable stay with solid facilities and a few caveats to confirm in advance.

Very comfortable rooms, we had pur granddaughter with us and the room was nice and spacious. Nice swimming pool area although there was refurbishment work on-going at the time of our stay. Breakfast was efficient, staff very friendly, plenty of choice on the buffet but cooked breakfast was too salty for me.

No kids club, No air conditioning, elevator to pool didn't work on any of the days we stayed, staff all gave different information when asked the same question, pool doesn't allow children after 6.30pm, very difficult to get served in the restaurant. Very little for children close by. I would not stay again.

The booking site should make aware that the leisure centre is undergoing refurbishment and some facilities are not available. 16 euro/ night parking in the adjacent multi-storey car park is expensive, why no reduction for hotel guests?

Overall stay was fine, friendly staff, we were staying here to visit family so essentially just need to stay here and sleep. Car parking is free but external. Staff friendly. Room was basic but did the job. The gym was good and they even had classes which I wasn’t aware of in the time that I would’ve liked to enjoy.

Lovely stay at the Midlands Park Hotel - this is over 2nd visit as we come over to watch the Champions Racing at Leopardstown and the Curragh - we use to stay at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin but this Hotel is so much better, cheaper, cleaner and only a 35 min train journey from Dublin - we are all very satisfied with hotel x6 will defo return next year - the very only thing I would like them to do is change the opening hours of the Pool and Gym - they should really be earlier than 9.00am

on a pris une chambre dans cet hotel car nous y allions pour un anniversaire . l'ensemble est correct mais nous avons payé assez cher et le rapport qualité prix n'y etait pas vraiment. L'espace piscine est en renovation et ca fait tres chantier même s'ils ont fait l'effort de la garder accessible ce qui est appréciable. On était au 3e etage, un temps ensoleillé de Mai il faisait tres chaud dans la chambre.

Ok I haven't been to Europe in some time and never to The Midlands Park Hotel. All in a nice stay in a nice facility. The rooms were modern and clean as was the Hotel. Water pressure in the tub could remove paint but that's not a complaint but no ice machine, vending machines or room fridge threw my American expectations for a loop. The restaurant was great if a bit disjointed in service. My lamb was fantastic but unfortunately Ireland and the US being separated by a common language caused some hiccups. My request for butter yielded a knife and napkins are evidently dispensed sparingly. As is Ketchup. A request for toasted bread on a late night sandwich order was a bridge too far with the night manager explaining it was cold sandwiches only. Hmmmm. But I know, not the US. . The lobby acted as a daycare center and was quite loud... always . St. Patrick's day weekend probably didn't help! All in the best bet in a busy Dublin burb. Go

We stayed here for a long weekend while attending a confirmation. A lot of places around Kildare/Newbridge/Nass were booked so we booked here. It was a really nice hotel, tasteful decor throughout, nice bar restaurant at reception, linked to Kellys which we had a great dinner in, breakfast was really good quality and selection (their fruit was fresh!), comfortable beds, big rooms, great pool/spa facility with steam, sauna, plunge pool, hot tub, exp showers (tastefully done, no public swimming pool feel). Few points to note, no hair conditioner in rooms, swimming pool closed at 6.30pm on the Saturday which is very early in my book. We were looking forward to using it before dinner which we couldn't do so beware. No dressing gowns in rooms. Hotel was hot at night but you can turn the rads off and the windows open.

It all looks ok from the lobby but our room was not nice. Overlooking the roof and the railway line it had no air con and was super hot at night. The bathroom was so brightly lit it was like a torture chamber in Guantanamo Bay. No toilet brush 😱 and no working extractor fan. the walls were paper thin so we heard everything when our neighbours had 3am visitors. The restaurant was fully booked but in the end they relented and let us eat in the bar. The food was ok actually and the staff were sweet. The gym didn’t open until 8.30am in the morning. So not able to use it.

Overall good experience, convenient room, great choice of breakfast. The only thing I didn't like was that room had dark wall colour, so it was rather dark even during the day or in the morning. Same applies for the corridor. If have something small in your bag and need to find it, well be patient, very patient, because it rather dark.
