Excellent stay, some minor issues
helpful staff car transfer high quality
The staff was always helpful and very polite. The hotel arranged tours and car transfers. They were excellent, and made travel arrangements very easy. I enjoyed meals at the hotel. The quality was high.
The bedroom was underwhelming for a 5 stars hotel. The plastic sockets were unforgivable, in a hotel of this level. It needs improvements.

Acceptable Stay with Service Lapses
plastic sockets limited breakfast
The welcome felt lackluster. My room had white plastic sockets, which seemed out of place. The breakfast service was subpar. Staff were unhelpful. The food selection was limited, and the quality of ingredients was not great. it did not meet expectations for a hotel in its category.

Really good Stay, A Good Oasis
historic hotel modern amenities art collection
The art collection was particularly noteworthy. Very nice sheets added to the luxurious feel. Little treats were left on my bedside table each night. The hotel staff directed me to a beautiful patio where I enjoyed Irish breakfast tea and fresh scones upon arrival. The location is superb, the Merrion Square neighborhood is beautiful. It is within walking distance of many of the city's high points. Every staff member I encountered was attentive and professional. Breakfast included great gluten free options.
