I have mixed reviews. I did like the hotel atmosphere.. and the front desk staff was very friendly. BUT, I immediately felt claustrophobic by the "businessmen" crowds in the halls, lobby, sitting area and bar. Lots of coming and going. Not the fault of the hotel though. Just large noisy groups loitering around. The room was "fair". The hallway said... More

Seriously in need of a facelift. Room was clean but just "tired". I kinda felt like it was a fire trap since hallways were off here and there, making it somewhat confusing. Just my opinion tho. There is nothing nearby except the lame Blarney Woolen Mill store and the Bunratty Castle. Being on a tour we felt kinda "stuck". Do... More

Thank you for your review, Im dissappointed that you found the staff unfriendly at breakfast and the service poor. It is the hotel policy to ensure that our highly trained staff provide the highest quality of service throughout all areas of the hotel. However on this occasion we must have fallen short of this at breakfast. I have taken the... More

The Staff - All around super friendly, everyone from Reception, The Library, Kathleen's Bar, Room Service and Angsana Spa, etc! The room - We were on the Executive floor and had a king bed, the room was perfect... More

Recently returned from a very enjoyable weekend stay. Found it difficult to find the entrance to the hotel driveway as we approached. (Not very well signposted from the road.) The hotel was welcoming and check-in was fairly smooth. We had asked for rooms to be relatively close together,and were assured they were. Our friends returned to reception and asked to... More

A very nice hotel, until the service. We've been traveling throughout Ireland for the past 2 weeks, and while the hotel is very nice... the rudeness of the staff, especially at breakfast, is by far the worst we've experienced. More

Stayed here over the Easter weekend and we thought the hotel was very good. We had interconnecting rooms - both were spacious, bright, clean and comfortable. Pool was nice and lobby area very cosy (wifi only available in lobby, not bedrooms). Breakfast was great. We ate at the Pomodoro restaurant and the food was lovely (ask for a rate that... More
