“Gorgeous, very pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

My husband and I stayed overnight on Saturday 24th November and really enjoyed ourselves. Very lively atmosphere, great buzz, nice comfortable room and the staff were very friendly. Only criticism I would have was the car parking facilities very inadequate. Apart from that it is an excellent hotel. We did not eat there this time, but the restaurant looked inviting. Anyway we will definitely be back.

“Excellent, clean hotel, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We stayed in the hotel on a Thursday night - got an excellent rate for a king room. The reception staff were excellent - very friendly. I had requested a smoking room when booking - was given a non-smoking room which was then immediately changed when I asked with no hassle.

The room was fantastic - large bed, fabulous lighting - the only downside for us was the small wardrobe space and I wasn't too sure about the frosted glass bathroom wall!! It took a bit of getting used to! The room was cold on arrival but we had it heated up within half an hour.

Our only major gripe we had was with the bar staff. They weren't the friendliest, it took quite a while to catch their attention when trying to order drinks, and when we returned to the hotel that night we were sitting in the bar having a drink when the lights were turned on and we were informed it was last orders. There is no residents bar! We were disappointed as it was a xmas night out for us! Otherwise the bar area is lovely - very romantic with all the voile curtains and candles!

I would highly recommend this hotel for pure value and the lovely rooms.

“Much better on second visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

My wife and I stayed here in early 2012 but didn't feel this hotel was up to the mark, we gave it another go and are happy to report that any concerns about the quality of the hotel and the food it serves where put to rest. The hotel continues to be an excellent base for shopping at Dundrum and a lively evening destination. What made it special this time was the excellent service received at reception which deserves a specific mention. Food now seems up to scratch with a good breakfast selection both hot and cold. Whole heartedly recommended and our hotel of choice in Dublin for here on.

“Great girls getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

Booked a deal for €70 pp to include dinner, bed & breakfast - great deal! It sounded perfect for 4 girls/ladies (!) to get away for a night without the hassle of taxis etc. The outside or setting of the hotel does nothing to give away what is inside. There is an underground car-park which is small and needs a good clean. However then you enter the hotel ... firstly the lift is cool and as for the hotel reception - I haven't seen anything like except in Miami - so hip and stylish. Staff were excellent at reception. Our rooms were on the 7th floor and this is definitley the best option as it a party-place. The rooms themselves are gorgeous. The mini bar is well stocked, beds are very comfy and the bathroom very well equiped. We ordered an ice bucket for our BYOB Prosecco and it arrived pronto. Our package included 3 course dinner. I did not expect it be full a la carte in the Thai restaurant! The food was amazing value! We had a variety of curries, prawns and delicious sea bass. 2 desserts between 4 was all we could manage. One criticism in the restaurant; we ordered house white wine (sav b) however they advised they had no house wine and recommended another sav however they would not give us any option at the same price as the house which in itself was pricey at €22. The party continued in the bar with great music and lovely bar staff.
The next morning breakfast was served until 12.30pm which was brilliant as one of my pet hates is a "breakfast bun fight" with a hangover! With late check out to 2pm it meant there was no queuing to check out and again the staff were lovely.
Would recommend for one night away and perhaps a trip to Dundrum SC via the LUAS, there is nothing in the surrounding area - just don't judge a book by its cover!

“Very modern hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

This Hotel is situated next to a hospital & in a fairly industrial area,however it is very close (5 min drive) from the Dundrum shopping centre.

We were pleasantly surprised by the interior of the hotel, it is stylish & comfortable with a very nice Thai restaurant & bar. The room was clean & large. Overall it is a nice hotel, but a little expensive given its location.
