It's a great location if you are visiting Dun Laoghaire and there are stunning views. However, some of the balconies in one of the newer builds are concrete, meaning you can't see the view when sitting down, and there is no outdoor furniture. The rooms are pretty tired and in desperate need of a refurb. Beds are very comfortable and the room we had (Executive Sea View) was a great size. Service in the lounge is very slow but the staff are pleasant and helpful.

We spent three pleasant days at this hotel. Rooms are updated and well-laid out. Bed is super comfortable for those who just arrived on a flight from the US! Staff was competent and friendly enough. We tried to check in about 1-2 pm, originally they said could check in at 4 and store our bags, but a room immediately came free, which was very appreciated. Buffet breakfast and food in the cafe outside the bar were pretty good. All in all a good stay. Thank you!

Covid reduced service's in place

As per the title. Needed TP. etc. Not clear on how to get it. So I went to receptionist to source. Should be a better system in place. The beds were fabulous. Slept like a log. No noise at all. Beautiful property. Convenient to transport, ocean & walks. Would stay again.

Une nuit romantique royale

Une superbe nuit dans ce magnifique hôtel, juste en face de l'océan donc très pratique pour de jolies balades à toute heure. Le personnel était accueillant et les autres commodités telles que le spa et la piscine étaient très agréables. Un séjour romantique garanti !

Nice hotel, staff on training!

The hotel was nice, but there was a serious lack of experienced staff in the evenings and night times. Bar staff were mainly 'being trained', and so it was very difficult to get a drink or any other order. The service was slow and poor. I got a glass of water in a glass which was cracked and chipped. The senior/managerial staff were good, but they were few and far between.

Pretty view from the main room, but very dated rooms. Our mini fridge was broken but the light was on. Some things we put in there were spoiled. We told front desk. They said sorry. But a few bucks off for the rotten food in the fridge would’ve been the fair thing.

Room allocated was of a poor standard and very small. It was a standard type of room which I have stayed in many times but this one was in the the original building and by far the worst.
