Loved our recent stay at this great hotel! Staff were extremely friendly and attentive, never had to wait long for service, even when very busy. Lovely atmosphere in their new outdoor area and in the bar, and the food and drinks were exceptional (treat yourself to an apple crumble and an Irish coffee after dinner!). Room & bed very comfortable, strong shower. Highly recommend a stay or a visit. Would love to have stayed longer!

Well I was exposed to a rather unsightly part of Ireland I did not expect.. I was looking forward to spending a couple of nights with family at this location and the service was extremely poor and uninviting.. i waited over 20 minutes before i had to go looking for the manager... I was informed by the the hotel I was unwelcome and that because of where I came from I persecuted in a bias manner... future more I had a 10 year old daughter with me and this was at 9 pm. At night after 36 hours of flying... the manager was extremely rude and has no problem expressing his bias. I was absolutely disgusted and I definitely would warn anyone of the vile and caustic vitriol that this place offers..

John, It is unfortunate that you were unable to stay with us for your intended vacation. And we do understand your upset. However, as you rightly pointed out, you had travelled for 36 hours from the USA without quarantine. Under government guidelines it would have been reckless of us to let you stay, showing complete disregard for the safety of our staff and other respected guests. We hope that you understand our position. With all best wishes, The Team @ The Old Imperial Youghal.

We are staying in a different hotel (only because we didnt know about this one) but we found this little gem today and popped in for dinner with our 3yr old twins. The food was fabulous. Adults and kids menus and portions are great.
