West County Hotel Review

Funeral reception nice room good carvery friendly staff

Very convenient location, good parking and good food !

Decent place. Good location for city and has good bar food, plus separate restaurant. Large rooms, excellent shower. Good room rates

Offers bad beds and a revolting breakfast in a remote location. Do not cheap out on your accomodation in Dublin or there will be a good chance that you will end up in this shack. "Sojourned" in February

Very disappointed as travelling and stopped to have something to eat only carvery been served and did not want that some of us asked was there anything else and told no should be more variety

Always very welcoming at the West County, delicious food at a very reasonable price, service is excellent and the hotel is spotless.

This place is great for dinners or for an evening dinning or it's great place to have meetings

Food at a party wasn't great quality and dirty glasses.

I used the hotel for a professional meeting only. The reception and service was agreable.

At first glance, everything a bit stale, including real old keys for the rooms and the old wooden doors. Total, however, very satisfactory. Top price-performance ratio

Looks a bit old and run down from outside but nice and clean inside, although a little bit dated.
The room was clean and exactly what you'd expect. The bathroom was modern with a shower cubicle.
The staff were friendly and helpful always said 'Hi' when you walked past. They were more than happy to help with everything including booking taxis.
The bar was ok and served a selection of beers, ales and ciders.
I had the full Irish breakfast in the morning, which was very nice. There was fruit juices, yoghurt and pastries available as well.
I only stayed for 1 night but would stay again. During the day a taxi cost about 15 to get to the centre of Dublin and about 40 to get to the airport. There is a bus stop directly outside which goes into the centre but I didn't use it so can't say how frequent they arrive.

It's on a nice quiet (relatively) road in Chapelizod. Just turn in and park. Lovely bar with good food at good prices. Lovely room with tea and coffee. Great Irish breakfast. Friendly staff.
Very good value. Highly recommended.

The food is lovely and you get plenty of it. Great service

Always guaranteed a lovely dinner here, nice hotel management and staff are very friendly I would recommend..

Sometimes go in here at about 5 o clock when its not too busy. Love the view from the large windows facing the Liffey Valley. Nice relaxed atmosphere for a family Sunday dinner . Lots of snug areas and different seating styles to choose from . Big screens forvthe footie fans but plenty of quieter areas for us non sporty types.
Bar food and restaurant fare depending on choice all at very good prices leaving loads of leeway to tip the normally friendly staff.
Thats probably Ive been going to the West County for as long as I can remember.

+Old style hotel with modern spacious rooms.
- Food overly expensive so make sure you get a receipt :)

Nicely appointed for the price. Bar and restaurant was convenient.

Safe anyway. And the food and service was excellent

An old place but still a great place. Friendly staff, superb value for money and lovely food.

Friendly staff
Access to the city via bus 25,26,66,67
Hotel is a B&B

Friendly hotel with a good value restaurant and carvery

Fantastic and family friendly service and delicious food and very relaxing atmosphere

Nice staff. Clean hotel. Service good too but menu your average selection...needs updating

There's a mile-wide chasm between Vintage and Dated.

The West County Hotel is what I would call vintage. Sure, the decor is somewhat from yesteryear, but the fixtures and fittings are in excellent condition. the hotel is also scrupulously clean, and beds are comfortable. Prices are more than fair for Dublin, and the staff are unfailingly friendly.

I did like this place a lot, and I suspect I'll be staying here next time I'm in Dublin.

A great hotel home from home nice rooms and good food great staff .

Staff was not very receptive for phone events booking

Comfortable stay.Location handy for getting into Dublin but not much happening locally.

Great place go their every weekend lovely food great atmosphere great friendly staff

It's a great hotel for a light lunch and full dinner too. Excellent staff and the best service.

Looks like Soviet hotel from outside. But nice inside.

Bad food was very expensive, a slice of rasher alone is 2. A manager was rude towards us also. I will never go to this place again.

Had comunion in west county beautiful clean restaurant food was excellent staff were very welcoming from start to finish this was first visit and wont be last id highly recommend this hotel for functions partys.... To Noreen, noal and the team a big thank you.

Great place to pop into when passing...great food..nice staff..but don't sell cigarettes if you smoke..apart from that ..it's well worth a visit

had a lovely meal here a couple weeks ago and the pints are nice staff were really friendly also

Limited carvary menu. The day I was there .only pork or lamb .lots of people dont do lamb or pork ...so i would have eaten there if there was some beef or chicken or Turkey. Maybe next time. We'll see

Great hotel. Perfect location as its very close to the city and also the gorgeous Pheonix Park. Great food especially the breakfast and dinner!

Went for a meal food was nice but room needs decorating. Not very festive, there was a small tree; no table decorations or crackers. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us

Old World charm or outdated hotel! Old style everything. 70's menu and food with high prices. However, B+B rates for Dublin is good compared to others.

I'm so disappointed in the West County Hotel by their Service for the afters of my nephews funeral on Monday afternoon. As upsetting the day was we were greeted by Noreen on Reception who, in my opinion, has no business being in Customer Service as she had a face on her like a wet weekend. We had pre organised sandwiches and tea for 50 people at a certain amount per head. On settleing the bill it was a good 200 more than what was agreed. When this was queried Noreen said she put on more sandwiches which wasn't requested by the family. She just took it upon herself to do so. When other members of the funeral party ordered hot food later on, I overheard Noreen giving two young lounge girls a dressing down for not taking payment for this food immediately. Did Noreen think we were going to rob you blind? She was unprofessional, rude and most unhelpful. If there was an option to leave no stars I would.

Good apart from having to stay in the room for covid

Dated, far from town, but the free breakfast and cleanliness is nice. Walked down to the for a drink on a Saturday night expecting traditional music and instead experienced a hokey seventies throwback display.

Nice food great staff they have it very well organised with the covid restrictions

Fillet steak was fatty, (poor quality meat) garlic mushrooms very greasey,
Taking advantage of covid 19 charging 3 for table service.

Rooms were OK, room door was damaged, curtains didn't close properly, beds were comfortable,

Carpet very dated on the stairs and hallways.

Outside of the building looks run down. Needs to be painted! "West Country Hotel" sign doesn't light up properly.

Good local.

Weirdly nice. Looks like soviet era panalak but has a mysterious charm about it. Nice dining area.

Pleasant. Good value for money.
The room overall is fine.
Very friendly and pleasant bar even if it lacks expertise and a choice of Irish Whiskey.
However, problems with showers and hot water.

Management are terrible, food is terrible service is terrible just a complete waste would not recommend only nice people in the hotel were the floor staff in the bar

Very friendly staff great food especially breakfast

Well looked after by staff food promptly served and very enjoyable

Was at an event here .Food was nice but because of the numbers we were a bit squashed..Young staff serving tables could have been a bit more pleasant, not a smile from one of them..

-DECEPTIVE PRACTICES / hidden fees

-clean rooms

-good WiFi

-nice bathroom and shower

-loud music late at night during the weekend

Normally I cover the features within a hotel and then give my overall review. However, this is going to be diferent due to the:

Deceptive practices - This hotel is registeree online as a budget hotel which offers great value for money, for those on a budget. However, right off the bat, I was promoted to pay 30 per day anytime I was to have anyone else other than me enter my room. This was an outrageous demand and a true definition of daylight robbery as it marred any positive features this hotel may have to offer. This was really shocking because nothing was mentioned about these hidden fees I was slapped with when I was booking the hotel.

I say this because for the price I ended up paying for the hotel and for having anyone enter my room, I could have gotten a much better hotel that was off a higher quality and that doesn't employ unethical practices in order to scam money out of people.

I would highly recommend you find another hotel and if its a cheap one, make sure to call in and check if you're allowed to bring people into your room - lest you fall victim to this scam like I did.

EDIT: The hotel owner is now attempting to slander my review by lying and claiming that I tried to use the room for two people instead of 1. Let me make this clear for anyone thinking about booking a room here, YOU CAN'T EVEN have a friend escort your bags upstairs without incurring a charge for an "extra person" in this "hotel". NOT ONCE did I ever have another person sleep in the same room overnight with me during my 3 days there where I was forced to pay an extra 90 just so my friend can hangout with me for a few hours before going back home. This is the only hotel I've ever seen charge anyone for such an instance.

Having said that, I still ended up paying the hotel an extra 90 for a single room which I never shared because I didn't intend to in the first place.

I would HONESTLY urge anyone looking to book this hotel to AVOID IT if you can, I've honestly never seen or experienced such shady and dishonest practices and I wasn't even going to go into the details until the owner started trying to lie in order to save face for their dishonesty.
