"Easily the worst overnight stay I have encountered anywhere in my travels. We had no working water heater the first 24 hours so none of us could shower. The floors were sticky. We killed two sizeable spiders in the unit. The whole place smelled like chemicals but I couldn’t quite place what they were. Every shower had mold and mildew (and gross amounts of caulking) and mine included a sliver of dried bar soap complete with black speck inside the soap dish. The pillows were the kind you might...

"We are a family of six, four children and myself and husband. This Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with how traditional it is. My children had plenty of fun out back in the huge garden. Most evenings we had a fire blazing in the living room. While we played board games and playing cards. This Cottage is close to groceries store and Bundoran is 20 minute drive. Plus there is beautiful beaches to spend a day at. The owners are fantastic and very...

"Absolutely gorgeous place!! They have stocked the space with everything you could ever need plus luxuries like towel warmers and a really comfortable bed. Can tell a lot of thought has gone into everything. The area is absolutely beautiful, not the main centre but we easily got taxis there and back the entire stay and it feels like a real slice of heaven sat looking out at the beautiful views. We would book here again in a heartbeat!"

"The location is PERFECT!!! The convenient store down the road was awesome and Cromaine Beach is beautiful which is extremely close. Also, not far from Killarney where most of our tours were located. The Host was very responsive and we had great communication with them. He met us at the home to go over everything and gave us clear instructions for our stay and check-out. The only thing I didn’t like was the washer/dryer (didn’t work very well), showers (were small and lose hot water quite a bit),...

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"I did not have a fridge in the room."

Clink i Lár

8/10 Good

"Property had a fun vibe and loved the downstairs cafe. However we booked the 4 room dorm with private bathroom for 4 people and surprised it did not come with towels. Bed came with sheets and blanket but no towels. We had to rent towels £20. I also booked a double room with private bathroom and this included towels. I was told at the establishment when we checked in that all dorms are this way with towels not provided. If that’s the case then Expedia should mention this for the room when you book it. I went back and checked Expedia for the room and our confirmation and no where did it say towels not included. And talking to other families that booked a dorm room like us, they also had not known they would be charged for towels. Not sure who is at fault, Expedia or the establishment. Either way should be clear when you book this type of room that towels are extra. Hoping someone sees this and updates the information."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay. The location was very convenient and my room was really nice overall. My only issues really were the bathroom. There was some mold or dark warped spots on the front of the tub portion of the shower. I assume it’s because the water leaks out of the shower, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. Additionally, the water temperature was very inconsistent, sometimes dropping pretty cold or spiking to extremely hot temperatures that make you move out of the water itself until it goes back to normal. Aside from the shower, the property was great. A little noisy at night, as expected, but I was only on the second floor so higher rooms might be a little less noisy. The staff was really kind and helpful too. I would stay here again."
