This hotel has been my favorite while visiting family in South Dublin. It’s right by the pier and Sandy Cove, great walks to get fresh sea air. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Also near the DART station. Traditional rooms are very small though. I like their executive room with a sofa though the shower is better in the traditional room. Many rooms don’t have a view. If they decorate the inner building area it would look more pleasant. Tea room is always crowded and Hardy’s bar is popular in the evenings.

Nice stay at this hotel - overall the decor is a tad dated and could do with an uplift but hit said not take from the overall comfy and cosy stay and experience. Quality of bedding was excellent and I have to commend all and every staff I dealt with from check in through to breakfast staff and evening ba staff ( Harrys Bar) - everyone was super helpful, professional and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. Truly!
