Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers amazing views of the harbor but needs some updating. The rooms are very outdated and could have been cleaner. The service was hit or miss with some friendly staff but lacking in customer service. The location is great for nightlife in Dungarvan Town but needs updating. The dining experience was generally ok but with limited options. Overall, could use some improvements in various aspects.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with a view of the harbor, but the noise from the lift and people snoring nearby was a downside. The service was very pleasant and helpful, especially at breakfast, but the restaurant lacked atmosphere. The location was convenient, right in the heart of the town, but it needs some upgrading. The dining could use more atmosphere, and some items seemed not freshly prepared.
The hotel is ideally located in Dungarvan Town, within walking distance of bars and restaurants. The rooms need updating and lacked heating despite reporting it twice. The service was friendly and welcoming, but the dining experience was disappointing with limited options and pests. The location is great for nightlife, but the rooms could use a refresh.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the temperature was uncomfortably hot due to lack of proper ventilation. The location was great with views around the bay, but some areas appeared grubby. The dining experience was a highlight with a delicious menu, but there were some issues with the quality of the food served. Overall, it was a decent hotel for a decent price.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were just okay and could use some decorating, plus the view wasn't the best. However, the service was exceptional, especially with the girls on duty during my stay. The location was convenient, right in the heart of Dungarven with free parking. The dining experience was passable, but there were some issues with the food quality. Overall, it was a mixed experience.
