The rooms are quite small but the view of the sea makes up for it. Plus, who is spending time other than sleeping in such a beautiful town? The hotel was very clean and the receptionists were great with communication. The restaurant was very lively and served fantastic food. It is very close to bus stops that take you right into dublin and a grocery store. Had such a wonderful stay here, would recommend for the view and proximity to the beach itself!

Location, location, location is about all this hotel has going for it! Directly across from beach and near other attractions, but very dated (ripped and torn carpet), loose bathrrom tiles, and aging facade.

The staff could've been friendlier when we arrived. They seemed distracted. The hotel in general was disappointing to be honest, very expensive given breakfast wasn't included. The hotel itself felt a little tired.
