Everything was great, the only issue was that the walls were not very well sound proofed, snoring one side and kids the other. The bed was very comfortable though.

Our 4 night stay was thoroughly enjoyed, especially during our sessions booked in the Spa. The breakfasts were very good and we had a lovely evening meal in the Bar, where Staff were especially friendly and helpful. The July downside was our experience in The Ivy Restaurant where, on a Saturday night, it was incredibly noisy. After sitting at pur table for 5 minutes, being unable to hear ourselves think, let along hear ourselves speak, we decided to make our apologies and left, going to The Bar downstairs to eat instead. Advice: there are specialist Companies who can help with your noise problem in The Ivy Restaurant; noise absorption and noise reduction Specialists. Instead of the noise from talking bouncing off and around so many hard surfaces, until it becomes unbearable, there are simple things like adding materials to Decor to absorb sound. We would not choose to eat in The Ivy Restaurant, unless noise reduction improvements were made.

Our stay at the hotel was overall just about acceptable. Nothing was fundamentally wrong, and we did have a good time, but it didn’t quite meet expectations in several areas. The food was quite average across the board. Breakfast in particular was rather limited in selection, and while everything was fine, nothing really stood out. The pub food was similar — generally OK. The fish and chips were actually quite good, but most of the other dishes were fairly ordinary. Service was a bit mixed. The breakfast staff were friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. However, the experience at reception was less consistent — most of the ladies came across as somewhat lukewarm, and one or two interactions felt outright rude. Another downside was the noise insulation. The walls are extremely thin, and you can hear almost everything from neighboring rooms, which did affect the comfort of our stay. That said, the hotel does offer good value for money, and for a short stay it works. However, given the overall experience, we would likely choose a different hotel in the area next time.

The food was great, but the service is really slow. Maybe the kitchen is over worked? It took too long to get your food. The waiting made me anxious which took away from the enjoyment of the food.

There was rose petals under our bed obviously the room hadn’t been cleaned properly. Service at dinner was awful we had to go to the bar to order drinks and the waitress asked if we would like to see the dessert menu we are still waiting on this. Breakfast the next morning was terrible too many people were there and I he queue to get a table was really long.

I travel a lot with work and needed a hotel in close proximity to Maynooth for onr night. I can honestly say from arrival to departure it was an outstanding stay. Arrived late in the evening, plenty of car parking and lighted walkway to front door. Reception staff were courteous and respectful and very welcoming. The room was lovely and spacious for one person, shower was nice and warm, and lovely shower gel and shampoo. The bed, the bed, had to day it twice, it was the first mattress in a long time I drifted to sleep, soft and firm, and an excellent nights sleep. Quiet corridor in the hotel no outside noise. Breakfast was only lovely and on checking out the lady at reception couldn't have been nicer. A simple smile and a bit of craic would make anyones day, well worth the visit. 10/10

Lovely common areas, wonderful staff, amazing Spa. However the room was disappointing. It is in desperate need of updating and a deep clean. We booked a king bed but got 2 singles pushed together which was uncomfortable. It would also would have been nice to have had spare pullows and blankets
