What guests think

At CityNorth Hotel & Conference Centre, travellers highlight spacious rooms and generally friendly staff, plus an on-site restaurant and bar, though experiences vary, with some noting impersonal service, mixed food quality, and cleanliness problems like bathroom mold or unclean linens.

The location is handy for Dublin Airport and the M1, but it feels isolated with little within easy walking distance, and motorway-facing rooms can pick up traffic noise. Facilities cover the basics with straightforward parking for drivers. Overall, expect a convenient stopover with comfort, value, and some inconsistencies.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The bed was very comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant and bar, where the live music was a highlight. However, one area that could be improved is the customer service. Unlike many hotels I’ve stayed at in Europe, there didn’t seem to be much of a focus on warm greetings or friendliness toward guests. From arrival through to check-out, I didn’t feel particularly welcome, and the interaction with the receptionist felt a bit impersonal—“just ok and next” summed up the attitude.

Room was modern and very comfortable.Excellent reception staff and check in process. Nice view of the coastline in the distance. More attention could be paid to cleaning the bathroom as around the shower and bath hardware had a lot of soap residue and other dirt. Room service menu wasn’t accurate and the eventual chosen evening meal was reminiscent of a school dinner🙁.

We were looking for a 24-hour desk because we weren’t sure when we would arrive. Check in was quick and easy. We were somewhat mystified by the gate when we drove in. You need a code to leave the lot and the code is posted everywhere. The room was huge with a large walk through closet and plenty of seating. Everything we needed was there, hot water kettle, coffee annd tea, and a safe. The kettle didn’t work but this was fixed after I told the desk. Bottled water was provided. There was a gas station nearby and the hotel was near the highway but very quiet. Breakfast had a lot of choices, although with a gluten free, dairy free diet, choices were limited. There was gf bread and a separate toaster but on the second day, there was no bread at all. I would recommend this hotel; we didn’t use the facilities but this is closer to what we’re used to.

Stayed at hotel as a good location for Funtasia waterpark in Drogheda. Only 12 mins away so great spot. The hotel is off the motorway with nothing else close by. If you want an evening meal you will either eating the hotel or drive into town. Nothing walkable. We had three people with special dietary needs and all we're pleased with their evening meal which is a rare occurrence!! Hotel is clean, modern and staff helpful. My only concern was the air conditioning. Our room was very hot as the AC didn't work. We were on the motorway side of the hotel so lots of car noise with the windows ajar. Top tip....make sure you get a room facing the car park rather than the motorway and check your AC works as soon as you check in.

Paid for breakfast without realising that flight was in the morning, one was flying out another missed breakfast and got no refund althought staff thought they were being helpful by calling in manager on request to have linch instead he them said breakfast isnt transferable to lunch and they can not issue out a refund. Thats when i asked about a discount and was given a business card and told to email next time i decide to stay at the hotel again, which is when i then asked how he will know its me and he said he'll tell by email and he'll remember. Would of rather had refubd or had lunch instead. Mind u that 2 x 12euro thats 24euros

The hotel was pleasant but not exceptional. The exterior of the hotel could use some minor renovations. The front desk receptionist I spoke with when checking in had no personality and was not friendly. The restaurant was very lively and the waiters/waitresses were attentive, but the food was mediocre. I ordered a Bailey’s coffee and it took 3 attempts for them to finally prepare it correctly. Our original waitress I placed the drink order with prepared me an Irish Coffee (which uses whiskey), instead of the Bailey’s one I asked for. We flagged down a supervisor and requested it be remade; she admitted that the drink did not look correct as well. It took 2 more attempts of remaking to receive the correct drink. I ordered a burger meal, which the patty was absolutely flavorless and the fries had no seasoning at all. I had to flag another waitress down to request sauces. There were no sauces on the tables and when they take your order, they do not bother to ask if you need any nor do they offer any napkins; we had to ask. My fiancé ordered a pizza which was primarily thick greasy cheese and hardly any sauce, it was like just eating straight cheese. My mother ordered the seafood chowder, which was all seafood chunks and almost no soup.
