I didn't stay in the Newgrange hotel, but i was at a wedding there.
I guess that the food was ok and all, but the first pint I got was in a very dirty glass with mold on it, and we found something really discusting in the food, which, even though it was dead, made a lot of us loose our appetite...
Well, the thing that i am mostly upset about is the fact that they doubled the prices on the rooms on the night of the wedding. They did actually offer a discount (i think it was 20%) for the first 25 rooms that were booked on the wedding night, but thats not really helpful, when they charge double price and a doubleroom had a price of 140 euro for a standard room.
I really checked everything to make sure that this was true, and I could see that no other thursdays had that high price. I understand that hotels have higher prices on weekends, christmas etc., but i don't understand why they have higher prices on the nights when they have arrangements like weddings. On these days they are allready payed for all the food and drinks the guest have at the wedding.
I think that this is a really bad way to make money and because of this, we were 8 people choosing to stay at a B&B 10 minutes away. The food was better, the service was better and it was more than half price.
I don't know how the rooms were, but i will never stay at a hotel where they cheat people like that. When people come from abroad to be at a wedding, that allready spend a lot of money just getting there...
