What can I say!! If you want to spoil yourself or a loved one then this is the place. The outside is a bit dissappointing, but on arrival we were greated by a friendly conceirge who took our bags and also the car. There is a free valet service. Staff were very friendly. There is a large fish tank in the lobby with gorgeous seahorses. The lounges were absolutely breathtaking. Comfy chairs and trendy decor. Attention to detail is outstanding. Our room was spacious with a great bed and complimentry tea cakes. Breakfast was also to die for in the restaurant with a wide selection, from fresh fruit to smoked salmon to a tasty full Irish!

I admit it was a bit expensive but worth it for a special occasion. It is built to 5* standard after all! Don't know how anyone could leave negative feedback. Sheer Bliss.

Designed by Philip Treacy of the Hat fame, this hotel exudes glam and style. On entry you are struck by how unlike other hotels it is.(A dark dimly lit reception area?) The lounges just off the lobby are very funly, colours are pink, violet, purple, brown (trust me, it works) and blue wiht comfy chairs.

The rooms seem great, We upgraded to a premier room and got one that was at least 600 sq ft. The bathroom was wonderful wiht twin sinks AND twin showers alonside a free standing bath tub. All fittings and decor throughout were detailed and tasteful. The staff were uniformly friendly and very helpful.

Food: We had afternnon tea in a lounge, room service (they offer beans on toast and marshmellows for mid-nite munchies) two in-room brekkies and an evening meal in Santini restaurant. All food was warm, well prepared, fresh and tasty. Also the food and drinks were reasonable considering the type of hotel we were in. (The Morrison bar fares very badly in my estimation at this stage) Afternnon tea was 55 Euro which had tea,s/w,plenty cakes and large pink champers for two.

Also they have an impressive spa in-house. Its expensive but you can book packages so its included in your (obviously no dearer) room rate. We had two hours of bliss there.

I work in aviation and travel a lot. This place took my breath away.

Trendy designer hotel. Stayed with my wife on honey moon. The only complaint is about the price, a bit too expensive. Also, the location is a bit far from the town center.

The staff was helpful and friendly. Room service efficient.

Yes i agree with the hotel facilities and services to be very over priced for what you really get!!!!!!!!!!!

Plenty of other hotels in ireland that offer the same services at a fraction of the price.

Staying at the G was like walking onto an Alice in Wonderderland set, the decor is stunning and out of this world. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The rooms are spacious and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get out of it. We had treatments in the Spa which were excellent, the spa was beautifully done with very clever and atmospheric lighting. We ate in the restaurant which was delicious and the service was very good. It was a real treat and i would highly recommend it.
