I stayed in the G with my sister in law recently.We booked a one night package which included bed and breakfast and one evening meal.As it was mid week it was quite reasonably priced.On arrival we were greeted at the door by a friendly doorman who promptly whisked away our cases which was lovely.The check in was smooth and efficient.
Our room was on the first floor directly oppposite the entrance to the Spa.It was a bright spacious room,but the view over the car park was horrible.We were not at all impressed with the bathroom either.Very cramped.No space for cosmetics (only a small shelf) and the bath was really dark as there was no light in the ceiling above it.Our shower also sprayed water out the back,reducing the pressure.
Our time in the spa was extremely disappointing.We had both booked massages after using the famed "thermal suites".These consisted of an over-sized jacuzzi,sauna and steam room.The "tropical showers" didn't work.Most gyms have these facilities nowadays.It didn't feel like a spa in a 5 star hotel.The swans hanging from the roof were pretty cool though!
Both of us agreed that our massages were extremely lacklustre.I paid 100 for a "55 minute" massage which turned out to be a 35 minute massage and being left for a 20 minute nap!My sister in law paid a whopping €150 for her massage and it sounded very similar to my own.
Dinner was good.As it was included in the price we had a limited menu but were offered the full one if we paid the extra.Although nice,again,it just didn't feel like 5 star standard food.The service was friendly and efficient at all times.The after dinner cocktails in the beautifully designed lounge,were to die for,if pricey at €14-€15 a pop!
Breakfast was served to us in bed the following morning and this made up for all ills!Beautifully presented and plenty of everything.I'm always reluctant to order brekkie in bed in hotels as sometimes you get very little but this was huge and we only paid €8 extra for it!
Overall,service was great,the design of the hotel was amazing but I think the spa ruined it for us.That said,I would return.For the bedside lamps alone!!

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.
