Detailed Reviews
Had a very enjoyable stay in this hotel for a concert in malahide. The staff are very friendly and excellent at their jobs, from the reception staff (a foreign chap and a woman) to the bar staff to the waiting staff in the bar area, all were excellent. The waiting staff had a new system in place but were still very good. Lovely beer gardens here and a nice afternoon in the sun was had. We ordered food which was very nice (parmesan chips are delicious). The pints of stout were of good quality too. Room was clean and comfortable although a bit warm. The receptionists were very helpful in getting us a taxi to the gig when the local company said there would be a long wait (they got us one in 5 mins). Taxi to the gig cost €28. Breakfast the next morning was delivered to the room at a reasonable cost of €5. Overall a pleasant stay. The strongest part of this hotel is its staff and the beer gardens.

I recently attended a golf outing here with about 25 in the group - the course was in pretty good shape to be fair considering the rain we have had and the greens were good.
However when it came to the meal it was a different story - a cold dining room - the menu had two choices of main chicken or salmon, one starter soup , when I asked for an option of melon instead of soup I was told they only had soup !
So the soup arrived out and we were given a plate of sliced brown bread for the centre of the table, we noticed other people were getting soup rolls , one of the people at my table asked if it was possible to have a roll he was told no sorry we don’t have any left.
Anyway I asked for a wine list and ordered the over priced Italian option which came to the table already opened, the waitress put the wine on the table and put a card machine in my face requesting payment !
I actually thought it was quite funny, and said to her , I would normally have an opportunity to taste the wine before k paid for it, she basically said that it was policy to take payment when the wine was presented to the table.
To sum it up wouldn’t impress me for the prices we paid on a Friday afternoon @75 per head and additional 40 for a buggy when the place is empty.
This review is not to put down your establishment but to allow you the opportunity to correct the issues and make sure it doesn’t ever happen again.

Dear Gerry, Thank you for taking the time to write and post a review of your recent visit to Roganstown Hotel & Country Club. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the food and service. I would like to take to this opportunity to apologise if we fell short of your expectations. The menu was chosen and pre booked by the organiser of your party and was priced according to the menu choices. It is true that in instances whereby a group such as this has pre arranged and prepaid for food, we operate a pay on receipt system to avoid any confusion for guests and in particular the booker, if there are items potentially outstanding. All of which is explained and agreed with the booker in advance. Our pricing is extremely competitive considering that it was a round of golf on our Championship Golf Course on a Friday, followed by a 2 course meal. We really appreciate your feedback and I will pass on your comments to the golf team regarding the greens and the course in general. Hopefully we will have an opportunity in welcoming your group back in the future. Kind Regards Ken Battigan General Manager Roganstown Hotel & Country Club

We stayed at Roganstown hotel (2 adults, 1 baby) as we were attending Wonderlights nearby.
The reception staff were very helpful and friendly on check in but didn't give us details on use of pool etc.
Our deal included a meal. We went into the bar area at 4pm and ordered our food, the.manager asked did we want the baby bowl first which we agreed to. at 4.30 there was still no sign of the baby bowl and I ordered it again. At 4.45 our food arrived and still no baby bowl. The baby bowl came at 4.50 absolutely scorching hot that my husband bunt his finger on it. Our food was nice but baby bowl.was awful.
We left and went to our event and returned at 8.30 , we went back to the bar for a tea and a drink. There were two tables reserved. We asked could we sit there and was told they were reserved for food as the kitchen serves food to 9. We were told it would be too awkward to sit at the bar with a baby. The the manager said anyway it's going to get loud in here and said sorry there's nothing I can do. So we went back to the room.
The noise throughout the night with children running up and down was shocking.
The breakfast staff the next morning were amazing, polite, friendly and extremely helpful.
We also used the pool.which was great however you do have to briefly go outside to get to it. The changing rooms are also well catered for babies.
Pity the bar staff let's it down.

11 November 2022 - Wedding at the hotel and woken up at 4:05 am to a man and woman roaring and shouting violently from the room next door. Rang reception nearly 4 times only to ring out 4 times. Had to get dressed and go down myself to find no one at reception and also the night porter hoovering. Staff came down to the room in question and knocked on the door to say to ask if they could come into the room. The residents in the room didn’t open up the door and your night manager then said “please keep it down” to them. There was a smell of weed coming from the room so it was obvious why they didn’t want to open up the room. They continued on again fighting. I brought this to the attention of reception the next morning only to be told “Sorry for the inconvenience, but we can’t get involved in between domestic situations.” The guards should’ve been called because it was obvious this was no ordinary fight. There was a lot of banging of doors, walls etc.
13 November - Stood for 4-5 mins awaiting a table for breakfast. There was a waiter who was walking around with a tray who saw me and didn’t come to ask if I was being looked after. Eventually someone came and took my room number. The breakfast buffet was practically empty and I saw a couple with their daughter walk in, and then proceed to get some hot food. When opening up the containers, they found them to be empty. They walked out immediately as they were not happy with the time to wait. They were not told any of this when they walked in. Also, it was communicated to your staff by other guests that you were running low on the hot food 10 minutes prior to this. This could’ve been avoided by somebody looking into the containers for all hot food and communicating to the kitchen that they were running low. I was offered no tea/coffee and nobody came around to ask. I understand there are understaffing at hotels these days, but these are simple things that if done right, can make a lot of difference. I will be asking my company to not book this hotel in the future.
Irish hotels and b&b’s are renowned for their hospitality and standards across the world, however this stay has not met those standards. The 4 star rating is given to hotels who meet a certain standard and these are not given lightly. However, I don’t think this stay met the 4 star quality.

Dear Shane M, Thank you most sincerely for taking the time to review your recent stay with us at Roganstown. I would like to extend my apologies, and those of my team, for any inconvenience you may have experienced during your time with us. Although I appreciate that the behaviour of some other guests staying at the Hotel, on one of the nights of your stay, caused you a disturbance, we cannot anticipate such behaviour in advance and can only address it in the unfortunate case where it occurs. Our Nights team conduct half hour floor walks during their night shift and on each occasion on the night of the 11th November, no issues were reported. Not withstanding, when you reported the disturbance in the room next to yours, our nights team spoke with the guests and asked they respect our other patrons and keep the noise at a minimum. I have spoken at length with my Food & Beverage Management team and the issues you raise on one of the days you had breakfast have and will continue to be monitored and addressed accordingly.. We had indeed, some new staff on duty and although not an excuse, does identify that their training needs still need our attention. I would once more like to apologise that you felt some of the aspects of your stay were not to a standard you expected but rest assured that we use all of guest feedback, positive and negative, as a tool to identify and react to any address any area that needs our focus and attention. We appreciate your honest and very constructive feedback and I would hope that you would return to Roganstown in the future and know that these issues were isolated and have been rectified. Thank you again for your time in writing and for your business and can I take this final opportunity to apologise for any shortcomings you experienced. Kind Regards Ken Battigan General Manager Roganstown Hotel & Country Club

Stayed in an executive room 120 on ground floor. Put our drinks into the minibar fridge.
Wondered why cans were not getting cooler after a few hours. Pulled the fridge out to discover there were no wires at the back so the mini-bar was not a fridge! There was a laminated note inside the bottom of the fridge saying ‘this is not a fridge and only at room temperature. It is for minibar use only. If you wish to store any medication contact reception ..’ I have never heard of a minibar that does not have a cooling functionality and
This must surely be against trading standards .
An executive room where the minibar/fridge wires has been removed and the note too small to read ! Who expects to find a note in the bottom of a fridge. If it is not a fridge or minibar remove it from the room. A mini-fridge does not cost much - and this is the height of meanness.

Dear Ms Eastwood, Thank you for taking the time to write and post a review of your recent overnight stay with us at Roganstown Hotel & Country Club. We appreciate and value all of the guest feedback we receive and it assists us greatly in identifying areas that require improvement. I was disappointed to read your comments and I apologise for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The note inside the mini bar is to let you know that the unit is not for refrigeration and if such a facility is required then we can provide it for you by contacting reception. It is not designed nor advertised as a fridge to keep your beverages at a cool temperature. We have an extensive selection of chilled soft drinks, wines and bottled beers available to purchase from our bar. We also provide the option of purchasing cold drinks from our vending machine located at the beginning of our bedroom corridor for your convenience. Thank you once again for the time you have taken to write your review, and indeed for your honest and constructive feedback. I hope that you may consider Roganstown Hotel & Country Club for a future visit. Kind Regards Ken Battigan General Manager Roganstown Hotel & Country Club

Let me preface this review by noting I travel here for business and pleasure, and have done for nearly 15 years, I’m also an IT guy, one with lots of experience of setting up and configuring wireless connections in all kinds of environments.
Roganstown’s internet provided to guests is not fit for purpose, ignoring the slowness, the internet service that it is acting as gatekeeper for disconnects about once every 20 minutes for around 3-4 minutes.
Prior to Covid I spent months each year at Roganstown and offered them my advise pro bono, even doing a (admittedly unasked for but the problems were bugging me seriously given how easy most would be to sort out) wireless survey for them, and recommended a highly professional company I had dealings with in providing hardware and value add management services.
This idea though went down like a lead balloon with the management at the time.
Nothing has improved in the intervening Covid years.
It seems the same misconfigurations I noted at the time remain. (Multiple 2.4ghz wifi access points in the same area broadcasting on the same channel, creating excessive interference, overly large local subnet creating masses of pointless broadcast traffic).
Given that the site is a few hundred metres from a known fibre optic junction box and a couple of km of plain sight from a Powerful microwave transmitter mast that can both provide rock solid stable 1gbs+ synchronous connections at quite reasonable prices to the business owner (ask me how I know) the pitiful bandwidth made available to guests is quite curious.
Now, I get that the main clientele of the Hotel are Golfers and visitors to the Spa, or wedding parties, and for the most part they aren’t likely to be heavy internet users, like the business travelling guests, so perhaps the owners have decided that it simply doesn’t matter that the quality of the internet service is abysmal because the quality of the golf courses (Roganstown has two 18 hole courses), 19th Hole and the Spa, Gym and Pool are all genuinely excellent.
Room quality is generally good, though the mag cards for the doors can be very annoying as they are long overdue replacing and these days require reprogramming at least once a day.
The staff are by and large an excellent bunch, and will go out of their way to try to sort out problems, offer advice on local places to see or shoot the breeze talking about golf, whiskey and local characters.
It would’t take much for me to feel 5 stars ought to be granted but I’m going with 3 as the internet issues have plagued this hotel for a very long time and have never been addressed and given the excuses made when replying to other reviews I strongly doubt they will be fixed any time soon, and that is a terrible shame as the hotel has so much else going for it.

Hi John, Thank you most sincerely for your feedback and review. We genuinely embrace such constructive and honest comments as it helps us to continue to provide a high quality experience for all of our guests and clients, especially regular guests such as yourself. We really appreciate your positive comments around almost all aspects of the Hotel and we hope that you continue to enjoy them. Regarding the issues you raise around the WiFi, please allow me to give you some background on how we have managed the service in recent times. At Roganstown, we are part of the rural broadband scheme and there is no date for delivering a fibre connection to us and we have in the past and we continue to, lobby for Fibre connection to all homes and businesses in our locality. Although there is fibre going past the premises on the road all four are dedicated fibre for large clients with data centres and we cannot get access to them, despite the geography. At huge expense we installed a dedicated leased line to provide bandwidth for ourselves and our clients. We are limited in what we can provide as it is a line of sight connection. We do not provide a commercial WiFi solution for guests and as such, the service is more than adequate for normal use, and even with limited bandwidth we have very little negative feedback. We had a full survey conducted and new WiFi access points installed throughout 2019. It was identified that prior to this survey we were not giving optimum use through our network at that time and because some customer devices will not work with 5MHz transmitters we now provide both 5 and 2.4MHz networks. There is overlap on the transmitters – we don’t want blank spots in the coverage - but we have distributed the signals from individual access points over various channels to minimise interference. I hope that this gives you a clearer understanding of our infrastructure and the challenges in getting to a point where a Fibre network can be offered to all our guests. I wish to thank you once more for the detailed review and for your kind words. Looking forward to having you stay at Roganstown many more times in the future. Warm Regards Ken Battigan General Manager

We had a lovely time at the Roganstown Hotel and Country Club. It was our first visit so we decided just to stay one night, but will definitely stay two nights in the future. We arrived early, about 1230pm prepared to have a bar snack and go for a dander, but were delighted our room was ready and we were allowed in. Therefore, we unpacked, had a lovely snack lunch, husband went for a round of golf and I had a relaxing swim in the quiet, warm pool then had a super Swedish full body massage in the Spa. Part of the deal was a two course meal with a glass of wine and the bar manager and staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. The food was very good and we had a really relaxing eveniing. Breakfast the next morning was very good - cereals, juice, fresh fruit salad if you wanted and then toast and full hot Irish breakfast. We went for another relaxing swim after breakfast and then a walk around the grounds. We will definitely be back - super value and very cosy atmosphere - just what we like!

My recent visit to Roganstown hotel had some positive experience and some negative ones. On positive side pool was great for kids and breakfast was excellent and breakfast staff was well organised n attentive.
On negative side my dinner experience was not good.
We booked our table on first day at 8 pm. On arrival the manager i think himanshu received us n took us to the table. We ordered drink which took 20 minutes to arrive . For order i had to call the staff and the girl took the order she took our order wrong. Food came after 40 min.. Nobody checked us weather food is ok or not. The manager was running everywhere and i saw he is the only person working . Staff on the floor had no clue wats going on and had poor knowledge about menu. Except my wife order all our food order was wrong. On second day same thing happened it was more disappointing than first night. Again i saw short of staff and poor manager working hard himself everywhere. With no help from his staff.
I am sure you need to give training to your dinner staff or hire the right staff in order to give good customer .
Your chicken curry i had on second night had no taste . I must say I visited tayto park and order chicken curry there and there chicken curry was top class and taste was amazing..
For your dessert your lemon posset was amazing but your sticky toffee n brownie was horrible.
For your location i will give 10/10 for anyone visiting tayto park or dublin zoo or airport. Excellent location.
Your room we stayed was 123/125 was dull nothing great. Bathroom door doesn’t work.
Overall your hotel location, pool and breakfast was positive. Linda was great in reception.
Thanks.

On negative side my dinner experience was not good.
We booked our table on first day at 8 pm. On arrival the manager i think himanshu received us n took us to the table. We ordered drink which took 20 minutes to arrive .

Responded 30 Jul 2021
Dear Shukla26, Thank you for taking the time to write and post a review of your recent short stay with us here at Roganstown. It was our pleasure to look after and thank you for your honest and constructive feedback. We are currently recruiting and training new staff members and this is a difficult challenge at the moment, as most of our industry colleagues can attest to. It is a program of continuous coaching and guidance and thankfully we have some really fantastic new members to our team. We will continue to identify and address any and all areas that we feel need our attention and feedback such as yours is an invaluable tool in this process. I have passed on your feedback to Avi ( the manager ) and also Linda, and they would like to be associated with my thanks for your kind words. I will have our maintenance team investigate the bathroom door in your room and we hope to have a further opportunity in welcoming you back to Roganstown soon. Kind Regards, Ken Battigan General Manger

We visited the above hotel just for one night. Breakfast and dinner were included in our
package. On arrival we were
shown into the bar which seemed to act as the restaurant, even for afternoon tea. My sister paid €32euro a head for
two of us as a special treat. It was served without any grace by a senior barman who complained when one of our party ordered a cocktail, telling her it was only a place for pints!
The sandwiches consisted of two fingers of old white bread filled with something none of us could identify.
One small pot of tea and coffee accompanied the scones and cakes which were good. But to summarize it was not a great experience in terms of value, service and presentation.
Later we took a swim in the pool, which was nicely heated and clean.
The rooms themselves were quite adequate, clean and spacious. Although we do not play golf, the golf course adjacent to the hotel itself looked very well maintained. The furnishings of the hotel reception and surrounds looked quite dated, but some people like shabby chic.
The dinner was served again in the bar, which really is not good enough. We were put sitting near an open door and asked to be moved. There were no place settings on any of the tables. It definitely had a pub grub effect even though the prices did not reflect that. €9.50 a glass of wine anyone??
The dinner was served again without much grace, plonked on the table. The main courses were surprisingly good, but keep away from the sticky toffee pudding, it had the appearance, texture and taste of an old boot.
The next morning we arrived for breakfast. It seemed to come instaneously. A full fry which appeared to have been cooked the night before. Again served very ungraciously by same bar man, who appeared to turn away an old lady who was only a couple of minutes late for breakfast. Toast was limited and if we wanted a continental breakfast, you would have been disappointed, croissants were not on menu here.
In short, the food was disappointing, alcohol pricey, all which is forgivable, but my abiding memory of the Roganstown will be being shouted at by the same barman, just after we had settled the bill, dropping €400 to the receptionist who was a very nice young woman.
I chose before departure to sit outside under a canopy as it was raining and order a cup of coffee. Unfortunately I did not sit in a designated area, and was bawled at by the barman for an innocent mistake. I apologised but he still kept shouting at me and other customers stared not knowing what the commotion was about. I have never been publicly embarrassed like this and I was paying for the abuse!
We will not be returning to this Hotel again because of this. It is suggested that not only new young members of staff receive training reflective of the standard that the hotel portrays itself as possessing, but that senior members require training also. They should realise they are not working in a local pub and have to maintain certain standards.
Nobody wants to feel that they are the unwanted guests.

We, a small group of 3 ladies stayed in this hotel for a weekend at the end of June.
Our room was not ready when we arrived but we were able to go to the bar for some lunch and a couple of drinks ( we did arrive earlier than the normal checkin time).
The service and food in the bar was excellent and we were able to pick the table we would like for our evening meal.
At checkin all staff were friendly and efficient and we were given any information necessary.
Our evening meal was also excellent and the atmosphere in the bar was very pleasant.
Breakfast was very good, plentiful food and hot breakfast cooked to order.
We noticed the same gentleman (John) working in the breakfast room, he had been in the bar all the day and night before. We had a great laugh with him and asked if he ever went home.
Our 2nd nights meal was as nice as the 1st nights.
The bar is comfortable and spacious and Covid guidelines were adhered to at all times, which made us feel relaxed and safe.
Breakfast on the 2nd day was again lovely and of course the ever present John was still in attendance. What a fantastic worker! A true example to any newer staff members.
All staff members we met were very friendly and efficient, they put us completely at ease throughout our stay.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel, as a golf resort there does not appear to be anything close by. However if, like us, you want a relaxing few days away , where you can enjoy good food and service at an affordable price, this is the place to go.

Yes if room is available - call reception on +353-1-8433118 and they will try to assist you
Toiletries are very good and plentiful. Room hairdryer is excellent...probably 220 V.
Yes there are toiletries in the hotel.Hairdryer is very good. My suggestion for travelling into Dublin would be take the hotel shuttle to Dublin airport and from there there are plenty of buses that go directly into the city centre. Otherwise ask the lovely staff in the hotel for guidance and they will help you out. We took the Dublin express bus from Swords village, pick up at the Pavillion shopping centre (regular departure times) priced around €3.30 and it takes about 30mins. Excellent service.
Roganstown Hotel and Country Club has its own shuttle bus service to and from the airport to the hotel, call reception to book and confirm details +353 1 843 3118
The roads in Ireland are narrower than you'd be used to in Canada and traffic can be hectic but it's fine to drive here. You just need to be careful driving on the opposite side of the road. If you're only wanting to visit Dublin city during your stay I'd suggest just taking a taxi in and out or maybe the bus or train. Parking can be a problem in the city centre. Roganstown offers a shuttle service to and from Dublin airport and there's a bus from there straight into the city centre.
