I only stayed one night in this hotel and I just wish I had more time.From the moment we entered the hotel we were impressed- the fun, quirky ,flamboyant decor was a feast for the eyes plus the staff were so professional welcoming warm and helpful.The outside of the hotel does not do the interior justice.It is a real surprise to enter into this other world.We had a superior room that was an oasis of calm - subtle ,elegant deor and the most comfy of beds.I am looking forward to staying there again!

stayed in the G hotel for a night in june for a girly break, rooms very huge and very comfortable. very impressed with the size of the bathroom. loved when we came back from a night out and the low lights were on in the room beds were turned down and music was playing into the bedroom and bathroom.
the beds were amazing they were so soft.
would have loved a tea maker in the room to go with my cup cake that they leave you.
one of the staff on reception was a bit unpleasent to us she could have done with a better attitude. she showed us around our room was in a bit of a rush pointing at the things got where the mini bar was in the wrong place.
but all in all it was a fab hotel would recommed it if you want to treat yourself

Though the service felt 5-star, I am afraid that the rest of the hotel felt more style over substance in many respects.

The design of the hotel (in a warehouse on a retail park 5 mins cab ride from town) is obviously a talking point, but not to everyone's tastes - if you are put off by bubblegum pink in the morning, this place isn't going to be for you.

It was VERY busy at night, as the bars are obviously a destination for non-hotel guests. Not very pleasant for a quiet drink, though good if you like a clubby atmosphere.

The rooms were perfectly pleasant, well designed and a brighter antidote to the very dark corridors. The rooms aren't particularly large, but the beds were super comfy.

Concierge were great at providing hair straightners and irons on request. Unfortunately though, concierge suggested a really very duff restaurant. I explained that we were looking for a Modern Irish restaurant, and that we were really into food. We were sent to a below average awful place that served mixed-med dishes (mostly involving uncooked cream) - perhaps the restaurant used to be nice, but I was very suprised that concierge in a five-star hotel would suggest somewhere so far below par.

The spa is WONDERFUL. By far and away one of the best hotel spas I have ever been to. Shame that guests are therefore charged 30euros to use it. And I wasn't told about this until I was leaving.

The food at breakfast was OK, but most guests are seated in a different room to the food, and the room was cramped and very busy. We were placed in the Middle of the room, and I felt that I was on a conveyor belt - not what I would expect from a five-star hotel.

Overall, it felt that the hotel comes first and the guest comes second at the G - staff hoovering the main rooms of the hotel during the main breakfast time, the maitre'd virtually barging me into the breakfast bar as he marched guests through into the restaurant, the snooty response that guests don't usually use the gym when we asked where it was (no signs), the charging for the spa and the conveyor belt breakfast all niggled and slightly ruined our stay. I normally enjoy boutique hotels but this was not a relaxing experience unfortunately.

This hotel will not dissappoint, from the valet parking the moment you arrive to the sumptuous rooms....this is a true 5 star hotel.

The rooms are breathtakingly beautiful, we stayed in a deluxe and I can honestly say it wasone of the best room I've stayed in. Everything was top notch, from the plasma tv to the perspex coffee table, seperate shower and bath to the deep fluffy slippers and robe.....I could not fault one thing.

The staff are one of the best aspects of this hotel. They are friendly and so very helpful without being overly so or snotty which is where alot of hotels fall down. Although most of them were foreign they had excellent english which is sadly becoming a bit of a rarity in hotels in Ireland. There is sort of a laid back charm with the guest's happiness being their no 1 priority and they were all delightful!

I think the hotel's success is based on the outstanding attention to detail, just a few of the things that impressed me were the friendly valet parking, the mini guided tour of the hotel when you arrive, the complimentary dvd supply, the gorgeous cupcakes that greet you in the room, the amazing amazing design of the lounges....and there are many more!

If you want the real 5 star experience just stay here, you'll love it!
