This is a hotel thats truly stylish and the in place to be in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
The rooms are huge with trappings to go with it.
The ensuite was exceptionally large with a double shower and the biggest bath I ever " snoozed" in.
The colours of the lobby areas are black and sleek .
Mind you once you venture to the "Linda Evangelista " lounge you might need to wear your sunglasses.
The room is all sliver , but nothing prepares you for the adjoing room which is cerise pink!
What did I not like about the G...............well it was the location.
The G is in a retail park off a roundabout .
The property has truly five star notions however the adjoing stores would not be your local Harvey Nicholls so to speak.
The staff were also a little pretensious and snooty and seem to forget who their neighbours really are!!!!!!!!!!.
Transport this hotel elsewhere and they have a gem.........if you can avoid the outside temptations of bargain city and others you should enjoy the city of the tribes

Stayed at this hotel for a two night stay.The staff were all first class ,attentive without overpowering us.
The decor is first class and gives you the feeling of something different,
Rooms are extremely quiet and comfortable.However lack of coffee /tea maker was not appreciated.To like to be able to have a cup at our own conveniece rather than the hassle of room service etc. is much more preferable.
The breakfast was extensive but some of the tables are small and make for a crowded meal .

Just returned from a one night stay at the G. Had been there shortly after it opened a few years back for an event and was keen to see how it had fared in the year and a half since. It certainly has retained its quirkyness and individual style. Didnt stay the last time round so was keen to see the rooms. Very very comfortable and all the fixtures and fittings were of very good quality. Bed was so so comfortable. Bathroom great, brilliant shower and plenty of space. We had spa treatments which were nice (i would go so far as to say it was the best i have ever had but it wasnt bad) and We had dinner in the restaurant also, which was lovely. Buffet style breakfast worked well for us. Room 201 overlooks the Zen Garden of the Spa so very quiet. Definately would recommend it to anyone who likes something different. Staff throughout were supremely helpful and very well trained.

Stayed there for one night recently before a wedding. Hotel does have the wow factor from the inside but the retail park which it shares a car park with is a bit industrial looking and the food was awful. On the evening of our arrival I ordered a burger without the blue cheese and of course it arrived with it. I sent it back requesting a new bun with regular cheddar and it arrived back with the same bun and cheese just scraped off and no cheddar. This shouldn't happen in a deli never mind a five star hotel. Breakfast was a buffet which meant the meats tended to be overdone and again I expect better from 5 star accomodation. The rooms were fine and the ambiance very nice but the food let it down for me.

Everything about this hotel is great. It has such a wow factor, from the minute we stepped out of the car until we left the next morning there is nothing i could fault. I am a fussy person and go out of my way to find things that are wrong - and there wasn't a thing. You must see this place, even if you don't stay well worth a look. The prices are pretty resonable for a five star, drinks are only about 10c dearer than the hotel across the road. I cannot wait to return.
