    fine views
    large comfortable bed
    bathroom issues

    Fine views across the river, especially at night, create a nice backdrop. The room features a large single and double bed.

    Some bathroom fixtures need fixing, like the handle on the toilet cistern and the lack of non-slip mats or wall grips in the shower. Breakfast had peculiar cereal servings already in bowls, which could confuse those wanting more than one option.

    water shortage
    bathroom view

    The bathroom window faced directly onto a carpark, how lovely! I expected some sort of room upgrade for such inconveniences, but not even a chocolate on the pillow. I just couldn't give this place a good review.

    The room was perfectly clean and cozy, with a beautiful view over the harbour. Breakfasts were excellent, and the staff were genuinely helpful.

    missing tea and coffee in the room.

    tasty breakfast
    fine views
    high drink prices
    shower safety issues

    Oh, those bagels! Fresh and crazy good, right? The Irish breakfast was great too, with a generous spread served efficiently. The bar area invited cozy chats over a few pints and the fine views made every bite taste even better.

    Now, a quick moan, 15 euros for a beer and a glass of wine seemed a bit steep, eh? Plus, the shower could use some non-slip mats and wall grips.

    easy access to parks and local attractions for lovely walks

    I stayed at a charming hotel in monkstown, where i enjoyed the lovely boardwalk walks and the nearby rory gallagher gravesite just under 3 km away made for a beautiful stroll. The friendly staff ensured a fantastic dining experience with an excellent full irish breakfast.

    attentive staff

    A reliable pick for a brief sojourn in Monkstown with good value. The staff were very attentive and polite . If you enjoy maritime views, opt for a room with a seaview to enhance your experience.

    Can't recommend highly enough for a weekend excursion

    Charming room, good food with a freshly cooked full Irish breakfast, served efficiently with a beautiful view of the river from the dining area.

    Everything exceeded my hopes.
