Hoteles con Bares en Dublín, Irlanda

I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked. Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance. The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre. Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well. Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home. The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want. Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were available around the clock to cater to our every need and made this such a special trip. Thank you so much

Me alojé en el Bonnington Hotel y me recibieron muy bien, pero esperaba que hubiera una nevera en mi habitación, ya que el anuncio indica claramente que habría una nevera disponible, pero no me la dieron y, después de solicitarla varias veces, tampoco me la dieron. El encargado del aparcamiento también es muy grosero y parece estar buscando causar problemas a los visitantes. El aparcamiento estaba muy concurrido y los espacios son limitados, prepárese para caminar por el lateral del hotel. ¡¡¡TENGA CUIDADO CON ESTE TIPO!!!

Could not fault Metro Hotel. We were late checking in. Rang ahead. Very helpful. Staff are lovely at reception and restaurant. Easy access to Holiday Blue carpark. Would definitely stay again and leave car there.

Hotel muy bien situado. Pedimos una habitación tranquila y así fue; no hubo ruido a pesar de la concurrida calle y la presencia de congresistas, las habitaciones están bien insonorizadas. Lamentamos la ausencia de ayuda espontánea para llevar las maletas, especialmente porque algunas habitaciones están en entresuelo y hay que subir algunos escalones, ya que no son accesibles en ascensor. Hay dos botones en la entrada del hotel, pero no se entiende muy bien para qué sirven. Lo mismo ocurre con el cuarto de equipajes: la recepción nos dijo que preguntáramos a la conserje, que nunca apareció; tuvimos que apañárnoslas para encontrar el cuarto.

My husband and I had been planning this trip to Dublin for quite some time. And when we found this beautiful boutique hotel online, we were so excited. As soon as we arrived And checked in, there was a lot going on in the lobby area, so it was a little overwhelming. We saw a lady at the desk, but we weren’t sure that she actually worked there because she didn’t greet us. Didn’t even look our way. It seemed like she had a general disinterest or disdain for us being there. I asked, “Is this the front desk to the hotel?” To which she responded in a monotone voice, “Yes.” I was shocked that this was the first impression of the hotel that we were getting. What made it worse was that my husband was told that we needed to put a card on hold and he proceeded to tap his card thinking that it was like all the other places we had been to in Ireland. But it didn’t work. Several times he tapped it and it showed nothing. He asked the lady, “does your tap work? Do you have tap?” To which she replied a curt, “no.” Mind you, she was standing there the entire time and could see the entire situation. This interaction was such a bummer, and this made our short trip to Dublin feel a little sour.  To be honest, not all of the stuff was like that morning. We woke up to get a coffee downstairs, and the gentleman that works at the coffee bar was very warm. A young Spanish speaking man. He was absolutely amazing; patient and willing to answer any questions About the items on the menu And the different pastries available.  Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. It had a very chic vibe but outside of that lovely gentleman, their customer service can definitely improve!

La ubicación era perfecta. Estaba cerca del centro de Dublín. Pero estaba situado en un tranquilo barrio justo fuera de él. Es un buen paseo a un parque situado junto al agua. Me encantó el Tema medieval. El personal era amable. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y limpias. Las dobles cabezas de ducha son un buen diseño. .Requerir una vista delantera del hotel. El único potencial negativo es la distancia del aeropuerto y del tren.

After I  had made my booking I realised I didn’t have breakfast included as was suggested on my booking information I contacted the Conrad hotel and was told if I added breakfast for two  on then it would be €25 each if I left it until I booked in to add breakfast it would cost €30 each so I obviously booked it for €25 each but when I finally booked in to the hotel I met  a very condescending receptionist who informed me that they don’t do discounts and breakfast was €30 when i explained that it was not a discount she continued to tell me they don’t do discounts and eventually said she would ask her manager and came back with the same information  to me at this point I was so embarrassed that I agreed to pay €30 each but when she finally put the booking through it wasn't accepted which at that point another receptionist came to check the computer and could see quite clearly that I had my breakfast booked for €25 and told the other receptionist that it was clearly signed by an appropriate manager so eventually I got booked in but the breakfast I felt was very disappointing as it was the first time ever I was asked to pay €9 extra for anything extra from the breakfast alacart  menu which meant if I just wanted poached eggs I had to pay €25 plus €9  I was not impressed the whole issue with the payment for breakfast while trying  to book into the hotel and then realising that you had to pay extra for what’s normally on a breakfast menu anyway. No i certainly wouldn’t be going back to the Conrad or recommending it

Este hotel está bien. Nos mudamos aquí desde el Aspect Hotel Park West, que está al lado. No vayan al Aspect Hotel. Este hotel discrimina a los turistas chinos. El wifi bloquea específicamente la aplicación WeChat. Cuando entramos en la habitación y vimos que WeChat no funcionaba, llamamos a recepción para preguntar. Solo entonces supimos que el hotel bloqueaba específicamente la aplicación WeChat. Cuando solicitamos un reembolso y cambiar de hotel, el hotel se negó a reembolsarnos y no nos abrió el wifi de WeChat. Como nos íbamos a quedar tres noches, no tuvimos más remedio que cambiarnos al Crowne Plaza. El Crowne Plaza está bastante bien.

El hotel está en una ubicación ideal para los llegados de la estación de Connolly, ya que está literalmente a lo largo de la carretera. Todo está a poca distancia. El hotel era muy limpio y tuvimos una habitación muy espaciosa. El desayuno continental gratuito también fue un agradable toque. Nos quedaríamos otra vez.
