comments We stay in the Kilkenny Ormonde at least once a year, sometimes with kids and other times without, and have never been dissatisfied with anything. The staff are friendly and very obliging. The rooms are clean and modern. The food is of a high standard and the kid's club is excellent. Would recommend to anyone.

comments The room was very spacious and comfotable. The beds were great and bathrrom was lovely. Powerful, hot shower. My only complaint was we had no fridge, would have been useful as our room slept 4 (3 adults in our case) but if was to include kids a fridge would have been essential. Staff were great, the breakfast buffet was generous and fresh. We didn't manage to use the leisure facilities unfortunately. Great specials on in the KO Day Spa that I'll be back for. Great hotel for all, groups, families, couples, young and old. I have reccommended the hotel since my stay and will definitely be back. Thanks a mil!

comments The facilities were great, as was the food, room cleanilness and overall attention to detail, but it really was the staff that made our stay memorable. Each person we came into contact with treated us with kindness and consideration - genuinely friendly without being overly familiar. Good old fashioned customer service!

comments I spent 1 night at the kilkenny ormond recently on a 1 night b&b plus 4 course dinner package. I have only positive things to say about the hotel: its location, the manner of the staff, the I facilities, decor etc., but most of all I would like to compliment both the restaurant staff and the meal they provided. As aremany guests when booking an inclusive deal, I was sceptical of the standard of the meal but I can genuinely say now that I would return without hesitation and have already recommended it highly to many friends. The managers of this hotels can be very proud of the service they and their staff provide.

comments We love staying at the Ormonde, car parking is perfect, fabulous swimming pool to enjoy with the kids, rooms to suit our family, staff are always so pleasant and helpful, their is lots of variety in where and what to eat between the restaurant, and the 2 bars and last but not least the kids have wi-fi in our room! The hotel is situated right in the heart of the town - walking distance to town - park the car and dont see if until our stay is over. Love this hotel!

comments My sister, myself and our two children had a really good time in Kilkenny during the mid term break. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our children spent a lot of time in the swimming pool, whilst my sister and I availed of the sauna and jacuzzi. Our children also attended the kids club, which we had trouble taking them out off. We are hoping to return. The food in the restaurant and the breakfast were first class. We hope to return sooner rather than later. Many thanks.

comments hi we stayed as a family of 4 recently as as usual the hotel was fab! Very clean rooms, friendly staff and great location! Was not as keen on the delay in having food brought in the bar - 1 plate finished before others came but this was acknowledged in a reduced bill. Reception is very helpful both on check in and departure and the breakfast buffet was wonderful = given the reasonable rate this hotel is great value and in a great location = did not need to drive at all!

comments My husband and myself with our little 2 year boy stayed at the ormonde hotel in Killkenny for two nights and we had a fantastic time. it was really child friendly. our little boy had a great time in the swimming pool and he kept calling the hotel his holidays. we went down for dinner on the first night and could only stay about 5 minutes because a 2 year old does'nt sit for long. The restaurant staff were fantastic when I asked them could they bring it to the room and they served us every course just as if we were in the restaurant. a great holiday and we will dinfinately be returning in the near future.

comments Thank you for our lovely stay at the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel. We stayed with our two children and having the pool as well as the Kiddies Club was such a huge benefit as it gave me and my husband some time to ourselves. The staff on reception, the leisure club, the breakfast room, even those we met in the corridor were extremely welcoming and helpful. Location was perfect and parking convenient. We will definitely stay at the Kilkenny Ormonde again.

comments Both myself and my daughter availed of your package for 199 euro. First of all we found your reception very welcoming because we were before 4pm and we were given a large comfortable straight away. The spa treatment was very enjoyable and good value. Dinner was most enjoyable, but perhaps it would have been nice not to have been tied to the early bird before 7pm as we could have spent more time in the shops before dinner and taken our time getting ready. All the staff without exception were very friendly. We took advantage of room service which arrived very hot and tasty so all and all very good. I deducted one point fro early bird dinner till 7 pm and perhaps parking could have been part of the deal as a leaflet for another offer had been on the reception desk which included parking? The location of your hotel is excellent. Regards

comments Had a very enjoyable stay in the Ormonde hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we managed to get an early check in which was most appreciated. The room was spacious, quiet and comfortable and had all the conveniences we required. The swimming pool was well maintained and had lane swimming which was good as it also catered for children. I also enjoyed the steam room and sauna. On the afternoon we were leaving, we both had a hot stone massage which completed a very relaxing break in Kilkenny. We also dined in the restaurant and the quality of the meal and service was very good. This was was included in a two night special with one evening meal. It was the ideal chill out afther Christmas and I will definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the staff in the kilkenny Ormonde for a lovely stay.

The quality of the food in the restuarant was superb and the service was exemplary. Our children were extremely well catered for in the "Kids Club" which they really enjoyed. Overall we had a fantastic break and would definately book a break away in the KIlkenny Ormonde again.

comments We had a great 2 nights here, the room was quiet and lovely. The location was ideal and the staff very pleasant. We had dinner included one evening and I was very impressed with the quality of food. We did notice some other guests complaining there was no huge portion of potatoes (chips) but if you are used to eating in high quality restaurants you cannot fail to be impressed. Breakfast was excellent with a fantastic selection available. The only issue we had was the very poor hairdryer in the room! A great stay, highly recommended!

comments What a great experience at the Ormonde Hotel! The friendly helpfulness of Lorraine and Shoshanna to track down a babysitter for our Lily at the last minute exceeded expectations immensely. Without their commitment to superior customer service, we would not have been able to attend our friends' wedding, and we were so much more comfortable knowing that our Lily was in Breda's safe hands, and in such a great room. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

comments I really enjoyed my stay at Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel. I found the staff to be very professional and attentive. - I have stayed in a few hotels in Kiklenny and have found the Ormonde to be the best. I especially found the reception staff to be very professional which is a breath of fresh air. Our stay was a surprise for my sister who was on holidays and she was extremely happy with her stay. The rooms were very clean and well presented, the breakfast was also very nice and again the staff were excellent and were always on hand and checking to see if you had everything which was great as 1 in our group was a veggie. The only thing I would say that would is I found the bar slightly un-inviting. I will most defiantly be staying in the Kilkenny Ormonde again.

As parents traveling in a foreign country, we value nothing more than a safe place for our children to play so we really appreciated your leisure activities. Please continue to maintain and develop that part of your hotel. That has put your hotel above the others in our view. We will be back in 2 years and will certainly come back and will recommend your hotel to others. Thank you

comments I stayed in the hotel with two friends for two nights in a family room. I was very happy with my stay here. We went swimming in the hotel and we were impressed with the facilities. We found all the staff at the hotel to be very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is great for going out and shopping, it's very central. We had dinner in the bar on one night and it was very nice, I would recommend the sirloin steak. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay at the ormonde.

comments I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel but before my arrival to make a booking I could never reach the front desk and when I was booking I was informed that any offer available on the internet could not be availed of over the phone this is difficult as I travel a lot with work and not always is internet access available. Besides these minor points my stay was enjoyable the staff friendly and rooms clean.

comments I stayed in the hotel a few years ago a number of times and it was lovely - it still is in fact and very reasonably priced. My only complaint is that I didn't have to get up until 9 a.m. but housekeeping knocked at my door at 8 and 8.10. Surely housekeeping should just work on the rooms that have checked out etc.

comments Hi there - our stay was very good - just a few observations - we were paying in cash and we were requested to pay the full amount for the room that we had not seen or stayed in - I thought this was poor as I would think that a deposit would suffice. Also I would say that the room was very comfortable apart from the pillows on the bed - I would have to say that they were the most uncomfortable hard pillows that I ever slept on and were very disappointing - I ended up having to sleep on the cushions that were on the bed. Apart from that the stay was very enjoyable and the childrens club was really good for the children and would be a major draw for return visit.

Thanks to the receptionist for organising it. The breakfast had a great variety and was also very nice. The only downside was the cost (€202). I would like to get a triple room for €150. Any deals please let me know.

comments When we tried to get food in the Bar, the first waiter I met was very rude, informing me I needed a reservation. When I talked to the barman, he was very helpful and we eventually got something to eat. It's not very clear that most of the Bar operates like a restaurant, although you have another restaurant as well. Other than that we had a lovely stay in the hotel and really enjoyed the Leisure facilities!

comments Having travelled worldwide over many years we found the staff to be extremely friendly and excellent at customer service. The only negative point was that there was no fridge in the room and we found it very inconvenient from a health and safety point of view that my wife had to leave her medication in a fridge in the kitchen area. We would suggest that maybe you should consider connecting up the existing fridges in rooms.

comments Hotel was nice, room was tidy and spacious. Staff were helpful upon arrival but any queries I had after check in seemed to have gone un-noticed. Internet was advertised in the room, a very small request, was not expecting to use it all the time but to be able to check my emails once a day. They said they'd send someone to fix it the next day and didnt. Location is great, right beside the town. Restaurant (O Reilly's) was a bit 50/50. I had a pretty awful meal the 1st night but had a nice meal the 2nd night it just depends on what you order... there are some dishes which should simply not be on the Menu (Game Terrine etc) Spa was nice, pool... jacuzzi and fitness club all very useful. Parking lot outside the hotel with a ton of spaces available so no need to worry about where to leave your car and at 5 euro a day, pretty reasonable prices. Overall I gave a 4/5. It was a lovely Hotel and for the value we paid, we were very happy. The only issue was with the internet (very minor) and the food which I suppose could be deemed unlucky. Otherwise, great hotel... would visit again.

comments My friend and I stayed at the Ormonde in February 2011 and we had a fabulous time! Reception staff very friendly on arrival and during our stay recommending pubs and clubs! Our spa treatments were amazing-relaxing rooms, friendly staff and value for money. Just one small quibble - mini pedi not real worth the money, a soak and foot scrub should be included but this is only minor point. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and again all staff very friendly and helpful. I would definately recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a central location in Kilkenny with friendly and helpful staff. I will be returning to the Ormonde soon I hope! Service was great!

comments The toilet in our hotel room was not flushed so had been not been cleaned prior to our arrival. THe restaurant performance was very poor, while the food was very tasty the service left a lot to be desired. One of the guest had water poured over her shoulder, and an apology or acknowledgement only came about where the waitress was tackled on it. Also my mother ordered fish and was left with steak cutlery to eat it, surprising for a four star hotel! The staff in the leisure centre and spa however were lovely and very professional

comments OUR ROOM WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING AS THERE WAS COOLING EQUIPMENT RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW, BLOCKING ALL LIGHT AND ANY VIEW. WE COULD NOT OPEN THE WINDOW DURING THE NIGHT AS THE NOISE FROM THE SAID EQUIPMENT WAS TOO MUCH FOR SLEEPING. SHAMPOOS ETC. IN THE BATHROOM WERE VERY SPARSE. BREAKFAST SEENED TO HAVE DIS-IMPROVED SINCE WE LAST STAYED THERE. A DISAPPOINTING RETURN. UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN GOT SICK SO WE HAD TO RETURN HOME AFTER ONLY ONE NIGHT. WE HAD ALREADY ASKED FOR A CHANGE OF ROOM BEFORE WE MADE THE DECISION TO GO HOME.

comments My family and I stayed in The Kilkenny Ormond for a few nights over the New Year. We all found it very homely and relaxing. The bar food was lovely and the meals we had in the restaurant were first class, there was also a good selection on the menu. Bedrooms were very spacious and the bed was comfy. The drink prices in the bars were similar to pub prices which was a nice surprise. Also it's really centrally located for shopping and sight seeing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone heading to Kilkenny for a holiday.

comments We had quite a late check in and front office personnel were expecting us and called us by our names, which is very nice to hear as we knew we were about to be cared for during our stay - my partner and I both come from the hospitality industry and we did notice these small things immediately. We were offered to order some food that was quickly brought up to our rooms. Breakfast was always fresh and the staff were friendly too. Compliments also to the housekeeping department as they always cleaned our room to the highest of our expectations. During our stay we also asked for some information to the FO staff and they helped us too. Well done to all and we look forward to joining you again some other time!

comments Our hotel room did not meet the four star standard that we expected. Our ensuite bathroom was not clean, tissue holder was empty&only 2 bath towels were provided between 3 guests. Bedside lamp&refridgerator in bedroom were not working. The foyer was very messy on night of our stay with empty glasses&rubbish around tables&floor. On a positive note staff in pool&spa were very friendly/helpful. I found stepping into gym with loud music after leaving KO spa dispersed any feelings of relaxation&tranquility I had from my treatment. Receptionist who checked us out was on telephone call while dealing with us which did not afford us the opportunity to give her feedback on our stay.

comments The ormonde was booked for a special occasion, however it failed to live up to our expectations, staff were most friendly but breakfast on both mornings was a disgrace quality wise for what we were expecting from a hotel in this price category. Our evening meal which was included on one evening.. dinner in the savour restaraunt,,, was served in what was a part of the bar area, meal was fine, atmosphere none, and there were people around us complaining about delays. We left a complaint document when checking out, no feedback as yet....

comments We - two elderly ladies - stayed at the Ormonde in early October. Our room was in perfect condition, though we had some trouble with the lighting. Staff immediatly dealt with this. Our room on the second floor at the back was very quiet and we never heard a thing at night. Food at breakfast and in the dining room was excellent. Staff were smiling and helpful at all times. Thank you again to all.

comments Our stay was just for one night (excellent offer - cocktails, 4 course dinner B&B for 2 people €139) but it was very pleasant. The Hotel, staff, food, leisure centre & room were very nice. We had just two minor issues - the room was extremely warm even though the radiator was turned off and (while the breakfast was very good) when I asked for yoghurt I was told that it was not provided (it says organic yoghurt is part of breakfast on the menu - but I didn't know this at the time). These were minor issues and we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

comments Myself, Vincent , and his 2 daughters stayed with you for a spa break on Monday 20th September 2010. We had an absolutely superb time. I gave my positive comments and compliments on check out to the reception area. I am delighted to have the opportunity to formally compliment the staff and the hotel on the fantastic service that we received while in the Kilkenny Ormonde hotel. We booked a spa break for myself, my partner Vincent and his 2 daughters for 20th September. On booking I mentioned that it was Vinny's 50th Birthday on Monday 20th and as he was working in Kilkenny on 20th and 21st we decided to 'bring the mountain to Mohammad' and join him there for the night to celebrate his 50th birthday. On booking I mentioned that it was Vinny's 50th Birthday and immediately we were upgraded to a beautiful suite with a balcony. In addition there was a lovely box of chocolates left for us on arrival. I must especially compliment and thank David for this as it was really appreciated and made the evening very special. The spa treatments were lovely and the staff excellent- very professional with personal attention. The food in the Steakhouse was gorgeous and despite the steakhouse being very busy the waiters even brought a desert with a candle on!!. As Vinny works on regular occasions in Kilkenny, we will indeed visit again, and we have no hesitation in recommending the Kilkenny Ormonde to friends, family and colleagues alike- Indeed we have already done so. Thank you to all the team in the Kilkenny Ormonde and well done to all Mary Cannon

comments We enjoyed our stay in the Ormonde Hotel. The room was lovely and ready when we arrived. Check in was quick and the staf were all very pleasant. The hotel is in the centre of Kilkenny and we could walk everywhere. The only negative was that it rained that evening and a leaking/overflowing gutter outside our bedroom window kept us awake.

When i booked in i was giving someone elses room key. So when i went to the room there were people already occupying it. and Then the following morning, while i was still in bed. Someone opened the my door to come it but closed it again when realizing there was someone there.

comments Hotel was very nice and perfectly located. We had two beautiful meals in the Restaurant and the breakfast was excellent on both mornings. One criticism, the carpet in the lobby badly needs replacing, it makes a poor first impression. Also, there was not enough shampoo/shower gel etc. supplied in the bathroom. (1 tiny bottle of each per room!) Other than that I would highly recommend.

comments I had read some previous comments on the Ormonde, which were somewhat mixed, so was a little apprehensive on arrival. Got the key to the room, went up, opened the door, did a double take and thought I had the wrong room - decided quickly though that I quite liked the idea of two nights in an executive suite and settled in quickly. A very comfortable room, nicely furnished and decorated, and my daughter thought she was in heaven with two tvs! Room service, breakfast, etc, were very promptly delivered and our meal in the restaurant was good value. We also used the pool every day during our stay and found it very relaxing and well laid out. Two tiny complaints: the camp bed that was set up for my daughter kept collapsing so she ended up sharing my bed (which in fairness could sleep four comfortably), and the slide out storage drawer under the bed, though a good idea, was full of dust - if something is in the room at all, it needs regular cleaning. Overall, we wished we could have stayed another night or two and would definitely stay again - can we have the executive suite again please?

comments I had 2 visits in one week for work purposes... On my 1st visit i asked for a quiet room and the ladies on reception could not have been more helpful.. the room was clean and as requested, quiet. save for the noise of the air con unit in the car park across the street.. overall very good. While checking out the following morning i said that my company had already paid however the gent on reception disagreed with me which i thought was a tad unprofessional, however upon realising his error he could not have been nicer. On my 2nd visit it was a late check in and the room was directly opposite the lift and had no remote control for the tv, I called reception and was promptly and professionally moved to a quieter room. Check out the following morning was pleasant and professional. Having stayed in about 10 - 12 hotels in the past number of weeks, I would rate the Ormond in the top 3 and would definitely stay there again and also recommend it to friends.

Otherwise I was happy overall, the breakfast was good and the hotel is centrally located. also the parking ticket for the high rise car park across the road from the hotel was validated for the whole day after we had checked out. We would stay there again.

comments I did find at breakfast time when it became busy that staff found it difficult to cope. On my first morning my tea and toast arrived after i had finished my breakfast, if a special order was put in ie poached egg it took forever. also at one lunch time my meal was finished by the time my daughters was delivered, i had to request silvereware and and had to request drinks on 2 occasions. I did mention my disatisfaction and was given my meal free. On a more positive note the bedroom was great good size for a family, the kids club was a blessing in disguise, leisure facilities and pool were good (weights area could do with some improvements). Great location and staff were good.

comments I did have a late arrival and early departure so I didn't use the facilities of the hotel with the exception of 2 of my children having a swim. We found the beds too hard and the pillows were like rocks. This meant that none of us slept right and as a result we got up late although we did enjoy our breakfast but the purpose of our stay was a good nights sleep between two 200 mile journeys and we missed it. Would recommend staying as the hotel is lovely but would check the bed, pillows etc to ensure a good nights rest. Many thanks John

If there was one thing I would comment on is the lack of air con in the room which was extremely warm at night but as this is Ireland it is likely something that won't bother us too much. Thanks again, we had such a great time, I will be back there again next week.

comments We really enjoyed our stay. On the whole the staff were very friendly and helpful - it was nice to find chatty staff - makes a big difference in terms of friendlyness - this is what the Irish are good at - making people feel welcome. The staff in the kids club were great - and we got a lovely babysitter for two of the nights. The only slight critisism I would have is that the breakfast varied in quality and quantity each of the three mornings - luckily it improved rather than disimproved as the days went on. Generally I would recommend this hotel to families with children - ours had an absolute ball there. The bouncy castle in the kids club is a nice touch.

comments The hotel was in a perfect location, very central. It was a lovely hotel, staff very friendly and helpful and food very good and plentiful, however the delux room for a family off 4 was a bit tight. The 4th bed was a small camp bed which was sufficient for our 4 year old but wouldnt do for a much older child. The room was however very clean which is what mattered. As per a previous review there was a damp smell in the corridors of our floor (3rd) as if there had been a water leak or something. We went from Sunday to Thursday so there was no entertainment on in the hotel for these days which I feel was missing despite the hotel being very busy. The kiddie club was very good and entertaining for the younger kids (up to age 6 max) but nothing to entertain older ones. Overall we enjoyed our stay at hotel, found it very relaxing but would not rate as a 4 star hotel.

Room was v clean, comfy & spacious, however our room must have been near the function room as even with closed windows we could hear people outside at 3am. This would have been more annoying if we we were looking for a nice quiet weekend away. However as we were only sstaying one night it was something we were prepared to overlook.

comments We have stayed at the Ormonde many times and chose to return again this year after being somewhat dissatisfied with our stay last year. We were a bit disappointed that there were no bigger family rooms available when we booked but went ahead and reserved the smaller family room. There was a lot of noise, especially on the Friday night, and a very bright light was shining in the window of the room which prevented me from having a good nights sleep. We invited friends to dine with us on the Friday night in Savour and thought we could opt for the 2 or 3 course special menu, but when we enquired we were told that we could only order from the A La Carte. On the positive side, the staff, as always, were lovely and our daughter Poppy enjoyed the time she spent in the Kiddies Club (the girls there were great). As we love going to the Ormonde (mainly due to the staff, facilities and location) we will continue to book the Ormonde (eventhough our last two visits have been less than perfect).

comments During our brief stay at the Ormond Hotel we discovered a tranquil santuary at the heart of the city which afforded us the ability to ramble and easily return to pause . The staff were friendly and efficient the servic likewise. The food was of a good standard with easy to follow menues . Well Done to the staff and The Ormond ,we will return !

comments The hotel is comfortably furnished, the food excellent and the staff both friendly and helpful. The room however has no heating / air conditioning control and even in June the temperature was uncomfortably hot. It is my only negative comment with excellent facilities available, so good luck for the future.

comments Enjoyed our stay. Staff very friendly. Location excellent. Car park arrangmeent with Q-Park very helpful. On the downside, while we didn't expect a room with a view, we got one with no view at all! Can't remember the room number (125?) but it was at the end of the 1st corridor looking out the back of the hotel but all you see is the flat roof and pipes. however, other than that we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Food at breakfast time

comments Es ist eine sehr schönes, zentral gelegenes Hotel. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß, allerdings enttäuschte uns der Staub und Restmüll (benutzes Pflaster) vom Gast zuvor unter den Betten. Im Bad war der Waschbeckenrand sehr unansehnlich. Einfach mal auf das Toi setzen und zum Waschbecken schauen, Sie werden sehen was wir meinen. Das Personal an der Rezeption und in den verschiedenen Lokalitäten war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

comments My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary.I had booked the Romantic Package. Due to a room change,the bubbly and chocs were not in the room when we arrived.This was soon rectified with the addition of some delicous fresh strawberries. I had requested a room with a veiw and was not disappointed.We found the staff very friendly and helpful.We had arranged to have dinner in the Savour restuarant,however,when we arrived for the meal we were told that the restuarant was full and we were directed to the steak house instead.Dispite our disapointment we agreed to this change.Apart from one unfortunate accident the meal was pleasant. We also booked some time in the Spa which we thoroughly enjoyed.Overall we had a very pleasant stay. Out of 10 marks we give 7.5. Thank you Noel & Angela McMillan

comments The hotel is a 4 star? Yet I found it to be on the verge of being run down, in otherwords if they don't update it,it will tip over to the run down side. Check in time is 4 oclock!! absolute madness in this economy. I was given a preferred check in time on bookassist,and I entered 1.30 I arrived after 2,yet was told the room wouldn't be ready until four! The staff are very good and the dinner was very nice though. The location is excellent too.

Otherwise, room fine, breakfast good, and leisure facilities and associated staff very good. Thanks.

comments Our stay was lovely, great location, exacty what we wanted, only downside was the excessive heat in the room - we didn't realize until we were checking out that we could have asked reception to have it turned off - made for a very uncomfortable night unfortunately. Turning off - or down - the heat would probably save the hotel money too?? Otherwise, we had a lovely stay thanks.

comments Overall the hotel stay was fantastic, I found the staff to be very very helpful especially in the restaurant as I have specific dietry requirements my orders were different but it seemed like nothing was too much effort. The only issue we had on our stay was that the couple in adjoining room fought for an hour or so from 2am. We called reception to have someone come up and ask them to be a bit quieter but we did not hear that anyone did ask them to keep it down. Also the room was awfully hot, even though we had someone come up to turn down the radiator it was piping hot until approx 6am. As a result we did not have a good nights sleep.

Breakfast buffet style but nicely laid out and good variety of food, cooked breakfast, fresh fruit, cereals, breads etc. Had 5 month old baby and hotel happy to refrigerate bottles and use when needed. Had spa treatment also and found whole experience very relaxing and enjoyed hot stone massage! Only complaint was that we were placed in corridor off from the main corridor maybe because we had a baby, which was appreciated, but still could hear music from wedding on our 2nd night stay which was annoying and kept us awake but baby slept sound!

comments I like to read in my room/in bed as I'm sure do many others. However the lighting in the room made this impossible. This happens in many hotels. I'm aware that hotels want to keep down costs but surely one good reading light per room wouldn't break the bank!

comments The hotel was full but still the service was excellent, particularly at breakfast. In comparison we stayed in a more expensive hotel in Portmarnock just a few weeks ago...it was also full but the service was disastrous.

comments On their website they had a special offer to include a facial and back massage. This is what I booked. While checking out the receptionist was charging us for this with her phrase - well I have my back up here. There were numerous people checking out at the same time and I felt this was very embarrassing. In the end I had to go to the computer (which I had to pay for) in their reception to show them their offer on their website. This was (the special offer) not carried over on to my printout at the time of booking and I had to explain to her that this was a error on either their web site or on book assist.

comments The only problem was the size of the room. it was very warm and uncomfortable because it was so small. It was like an attic conversion with only a small window. The fact that the fan vent didn't work in the bahroom made showers uncomfortable. in every other way it was a good value stay.

comments The hotel was not prepared for the number of guests staying on the August bank holiday, when we arrived to check in at 4pm, 2 hours after check-in time, they STILL did not have a room clean for us. My friends who were also staying were assigned a room which had someone elses bags in it. The check-in part of the stay was very disappointing, the rest of the stay was fine, the location is excellent.

comments Receptionist on arrival was unfriendly, but this varied as to who was on the desk to meet people. A clean, quiet room, more than ample in size; one king size bed and one single bed, room to sit and write overlooking the car park at the rear. A small bottle of mineral water was extortionate (3 euros 10c for 25cl), mineral water should be provided in the rooms for their price. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of foods. Evening meal in O'Briens was expensive and average but the staff were helpful and friendly. I stayed on the second floor and there was no noise from the cabaret evenings.
