For the price, I would not recommend the Dunboyne. The room was a standard hotel room and had a very stiff bed. The food (both the restaurant and the breakfast buffet) were both akin to frozen food. Overall, we were expecting a “castle experience” and felt like we were at a standard 2-star hotel or motel.

Check in smoothly staff friendly and helpful spa clean relaxing and variety breakfast was plenty of choice . Chef not so great requested a breakfast at extra cost of eggs with salmon on sourdough bread V Chef put together an unexceptable alternitive Had to be returned

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.

Dit hotel heeft grote schone kamer goede tv en heeft bad en een douche, belangrijkste vind ik rust in dit hotel omheen helemaal vrij perfect voor nachtrust ontbijt buffet is goed heeft ook Spa en gym lokaal, alleen wat ik minder vind voor spa zijn de tijden heel beperkt van 9:00 tot 19:00 uur had ruimer gekund vind ik parkeren is gratis

Great place to stay, great spa and really helpful staff that knows the history of the site which is an added bonus

Lovely stay from check-in to check-out

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.

Uitstekend!

Good hotel staff helpful nice area and gardens are well kept

Goed en schoon hotel. Prima kamers en alles aanwezig wat nodig was

Room was very clean. Comfortable bed. Staff friendly, Hotel v busy though it was a Saturday night so to be expected. I didn’t use spa.

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

Clean room but rather basic furniture with poor lighting for working at the desk. The breakfast was highly disappointing- overcooked stodge

Great hotel really vibrant and lovely friendly staff

Great staff, great bed, great spa.

Spacious, modern and clean room. Good Breakfast
