Hotele z: Pools w County Dublin, Ireland

Ostatnio mieszkałem w Clayton Hotel Galway i znalazłem się w hotelu wygodny, z czystymi pokojami i przyjaznym pracownikiem. Wyposażenie były dobre, a śniadanie było przyzwoite, oferując rozsądny wybór. Jednakże, lokalizacja jest dość daleko od głównej stacji kolejowych i autobusowych Galway, co sprawiło, że wjazd do centrum miasta jest mniej wygodny bez samochodu. Opcje transportu publicznego są ograniczone, więc może trzeba polegać na taksówce lub długich spacerek, jeśli nie masz własnego transportu. Ten hotel jest lepiej nadaje się dla osób uczestniczących w wydarzeniach w pobliżu lub podróżujących samochodem niż odwiedzających chcą łatwego dostępu do centrum Galway.

The Bonnington is usually my go to hotel in dublin, however the stay before this and now this stay has made me look for somewhere else in future. The staff as always were exceptional, however our room was incorrectly rang my reception at 5am, (and on a previous stay we were awoken in the middle of the night by a false fire alarm, so a full nights sleep is not a guarantee). What was the most frustrating is the general disrepair of the hotel. The rooms are fairly small so for the higher price point you are really paying for the facilities. The smaller issues like furniture being old and leather chairs peeling and flaking were not a big problem, just a mild annoyance. However the bath/shower leaking everywhere when used from the base of the tub and leaving the floor soaking wet, the steam room being out of order and us not being informed of this when or even after booking, and the crowdedness and of the pool and other facilities because of non hotel users with memberships to the leisure clubs taking up the whole hot tub and sauna at once in personal groups was frustrating. The room was also extremely hot, and the AC very very loud while not actually doing much to cool the room. There was nothing particularly stay ruining about it however if you’re paying over 200 euro for one night somewhere you would expect things to be at least average. The main redemption was the friendliness and kindness of the staff.

酒店位置可以比較適合商務人士出行，早餐非常的棒是我喜歡的口味。價格有點偏高，勝在裏面設施也很好，有夜床服務有點心，水是免費供應都是玻璃瓶裝水，比較環保♻️

The most comfortable hotel we stayed at during our entire trip in Ireland. Very spacious, bright, and modern. We had a room with an ocean view and truly enjoyed watching the tides come and go. Great breakfast, a nice pub, and a wonderful terrace overlooking the sea. We loved everything :) The only minor downside was that it was a bit too warm in the room.

The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel is great for many reasons. The proximity to the train station is a major plus as it is only a 25min train ride into Dublin City. The amenities and service of the hotel is also a plus, there is free luggage storage which is handy. The hotel also has a spa, sauna, steam room and pool for guests to use which makes the stay extra relaxing!

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!

房間很寬敞，很明亮。位置在使館區很安全，吃飯吧，走路差不多5-8分鐘就有一些餐廳，雖然選擇不多，湊合吃還行。酒店的下午茶很一般，沒啥特點。居住感覺挺舒服，很安靜。下次應該還會入住的酒店，聖誕氣氛佈置的也很不錯。

Zeer tevreden. Ontbijt en diner waren zeer lekker, behulpzame en vriendelijke werknemers. Een echte aanrader.

The location was great for my purpose, I had some business to attend to in Fonthill and the hotel was a stone's throw away. Still needed to drive but it was a 5min drive. It is also walking distance from Liffey Valley shopping mall. Its a typical large mall with decent restaurants and a cinema. The hotel is connected to a fitness centre (like a health club) and it offers a gym and swimming pool. Entry is free for hotel guests. Go early, the pool gets crowded after 8.30am. There is ample parking and it's available at a concessionary rate. My only grouse was the lack of toiletries provided. Thankfully I had brought my own set. The toilet only has hand soap and shampoo (but the dispenser was almost empty). Other than that, the room was spacious, clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Worth staying at if you need to be in that area.

The check-in was awful - There were only two stuff working at the front desk and they were sorting out event clients all the time. I literally waited 20 mins before I get served. Apart from this, everything was great.
