What guests think

Across recent reviews, Rochestown Lodge Hotel is praised for friendly, accommodating staff, clean and comfortable family-sized rooms, and handy on-site leisure facilities including a pool and gym, making it a reliable base for relaxed breaks outside central Dublin.

Breakfast and bar meals are frequently praised, and the on-site restaurant and lounge are convenient. Common drawbacks include no air conditioning and warm rooms in hot weather, pool rules such as mandatory swim caps and earlier closing, and some dated or small leisure areas. The location is outside the city centre, with bus links and free parking, but journeys into Dublin can take time and taxis add cost.

I wish the pool and hot tub were open later. And if you plan on using the pool, make sure to bring a swimming cap or they charge you to get one there.

Mixed between some lovely staff and poor overall experience due to not allowing kids access to hottub and making us buy shower caps for a quick dip in the pool before kids ejected early (soon after we check in). Gym had no decent equipment, property was old and dated, sauna area was smelly and overall not what we expected at especially paying so much and so far from Dublin centre.

Staying with a teenager for a sailing competition. Room had a double and a single which were comfortable, although the quilts were a bit heavy for the time of year. Great shower enclosure. Big TV, so the evening were sorted. Two good evening meals, burgers then the Rib Eye Steak. Went with chef's recommendation to have them medium rare. Pepper sauce was amazing. Also a well equiped gym in the basement.

A bit disappointed that the pool was closed at 8:15 on a Saturday night. Also, no water in the rooms to drink. We were told we could go to the bar and ask for a glass. Room very hot, no a/c and no fans were available.

Great hotel with wonderful breakfast. Perfect location just outside of Dublin, close to coast of Dun Logaire. Clean rooms, good workout facility. The weather was unusually warm and really needed a fan but none were available.

Wir haben eine Nacht in diesem Hotel verbracht und waren rundum zufrieden. Das Familienzimmer war geräumig, sehr sauber und ruhig – perfekt für eine erholsame Nacht. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das höfliche und aufmerksame Personal, das jederzeit freundlich und hilfsbereit war. Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut mit einer vielfältigen Auswahl und warme Speisen, z.B. Rührei mit Bacon, wurde frisch durch die Küche zubereitet anstatt stundenlang am Büffet warmgehalten zu werden. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und können das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen

Great service from the front desk and the people in charge of breakfast. Service in the restaurant during the night was not good, uninterested in taking our order and asking if we wanted more drinks, just an overall bad experience. Cleanliness in the room could’ve been better but overall ok. Nice pool-area.

We started out with a very nice woman checking us in but the family room was on the third floor with an elevator up and then a flight of stairs Down to our hallway. Very difficult with luggage and two elderly parents. One bed had a dirty sheet or blood stains and when we called down to the desk a gentleman answered and told us he wasn’t housekeeping and hung up? With no line to housekeeping we called back and the gentleman told me if I wanted a new sheet, I’d have to come to reception to get it myself. I went down and he gave me what I thought was a sheet but turned out to be a duvet cover. The toilet was also detaching from the wall and felt unsafe to sit on considering it is anchored to the wall above the ground.

We had a lovely stay at Rochestown Lodge. The staff were very helpful and the hotel itself was clean and quiet. Breakfast was great. A couple of things would have improved our experience- firstly, the hotel was very warm, which was nice but made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. Secondly, there was no fridge in the room; we would have appreciated one so that we could have had cold water (or even a refill station or something would have been good). Overall a great stay, though, and we plan to return.

Staff were great, rooms were clean but important to note that while this is a hotel in smart condition it doesn't have air condition. Initially I was in a ground floor room with no air conditioning and no security clips on the windows so couldn't leave them open overnight as entirely possible for someone to climb in. Complained and was immediately moved to a first floor room. Lovely place but not for hot nights in Summer - impossible to sleep on the ground floor safely.

Lovely hotel just outside Dublin. Staff was very helpful. They guided us on how to take a bus into town, which is right outside the hotel. They are very accommodating. They have a bar and restaurant which seemed like a good menu but I only eat the seafood chowder, yummy. They let me take my chowder and a bucket of ice back to my room.

La chambre est propre et de belle grandeur. Le personne très accueillant. La piscine est vraiment super chaude et un beau format pour nager un peu. Attention, casque de bain obligatoire sinon il faut l’acheter sur place. L’emplacement est un peu loin du centre de Dublin. Prévoir 45-1h pour s’y rendre en bus avec la 7 ou la 7A. De l’aéroport, prévoir près de 2h de bus.

A nice hotel with the bonus of a health suite and pool. Evening meal was average but expensive and the cooked breakfast was delicious. The place could probably do with an update but overall it was good and I would definitely return although I would eat out for the evening meal in a nice restaurant as the price would be similar.
