We stayed for four nights to attend the rugby final in Dublin. Our rooms were lovely, the breakfasts great and we ate in the Hardy Bar on the last night, excellent food.

Lovely hotel and a great place to stay outside of Dublin. 5-10 min walk from the DART station, which brings you into Dublin city centre in 25 minutes. --Pros: Great, modern rooms with a touch of classic; friendly check-in staff, restaurant and cafe with very decent food, very good sleep :) --Cons: Shower door didn't have a drip guard which...

I spent 2 nights at the Royal Marine Hotel as part of a CIE tour. We checked in at 9am and the desk staff was courteous and welcoming, and gave us rooms promptly without making us wait until check-in time. (Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!). The room was large and very comfortable, with free wifi in room and in giant front lobby... More

Lovely hotel with a great setting, we arrived on Friday lunchtime and even though check in wasn't until 2pm, our room was ready. I did ring down to reception when we got to it as I had requested a twin room and this had a double and a single bed which I would class more as a family room. When... More

This is a lovely setting, convenient to the train ,large comfortable rooms. Breakfast was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Dinner in the hotel dining room was well-prepared. We found the set-menu dinner quite satisfactory. The highlight of dinner was the level of service provided by "Little John",who did the work of three men!
