Lovely old hotel with wonderful charm. Staff was friendly, no air conditioner in the rooms would be the only negative. About a mile walk to Dalkey. I personally think they should have a shuttle that would run back and forth. It was only like a 8 to 10 euro cab ride but like I said it would be nice since that's really the only thing to do is go to the pubs in Dalkey. Food at the hotel was hit or miss. The chicken wings were not good. They should be cooked longer, burger was great, seafood platter was over cooked and had no flavor, And it wasn't cheap!!! The Guinness pie was really good as well. Rooms had comfortable beds. Request an upgraded room so you are not looking at the roof. You want to see the ocean. I'm a travel agent and didn't know and you would be disappointed if you knew you could get views of the sea and you didn't.
