Having just returned from a 3 night stay at the G for our 1st wedding anniversary I feel that the hotel is a little over hyped! Yes it is a very nice hotel with excellent decor and the public rooms are very luxurious but what really lets this hotel down is it's location on an shopping complex. We drove straight past the place trying to find it thinking that cant be it can it! The directions to the hotel provided on the website are very poor and we ended up parking in the underground car park with no idea how to get to the front of the hotel.

Once inside the decor is very lush and beautiful and the room we stayed in although a standard was very well decorated and of a decent size with a very nice bathroom but not a separate bath and shower as portrayed on the website.

The restaurant is very over priced with a very poor choice which included only 4 starters and be warned to order side dishes with the main course otherwise you will leave feeling hungry!

The prices for food and drink are very expensive and I cannot see how they can justify the prices. The spa is ridiculously over priced and never seemed busy when we walked by.

All in all we enjoyed our stay but we would not return to this hotel in the future and it will be interesting if the hotel stands the test of time as the location is really not the best.

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.
