    Pros +

    • Location
    • Good location for golf trip, but save your money and buy yourself a breakfast roll at the deli in the shop next door
    • Nice sized room with everything you need including coffee/tea making facilities, ironing board and hairdryer. We were able to control the heat in the room which was nice. Beds were comfortable.

    Cons -

    • Parking lot in back had broken glass and we ended up with a punctured motorcycle tire as a result. Saw them feeding bottles into the glass crusher and realized how much tiny glass was spread. Dining room for breakfast was in the ballroom, and it was cold.
    • Leisure center too far away for easy walking access and has poor reviews.
    • Cooked breakfast was of a poor quality.Sunday lunch again not good.

    The staff at the reception (Karen + others) were excellent! The wait staff at breakfast were very friendly and made the breakfast very enjoyable every morning!

    9maureenPosted on: 6-13-2025

    Margaret was very pleasant and accommodating in providing us with breakfast at 7.10a due to our early departure. Access to Tramore beach and Downings beach both fabulous.

    Leisure center too far away for easy walking access and has poor reviews.

    Very clean, comfortable great food and really well looked after

    6NiamhPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Lovely modern rooms and friendly staff

    The disco downstairs was very loud and people on our floor were up to 4am being really loud, not ideal with a 2 year old trying to sleep.

    10AliciaPosted on: 4-19-2025

    The property offered everything we had hoped for. Great location, close to beach, amenities, pubs and restaurants. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Hotel itself was immaculate.

    9MargaretPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Excellent Breakfast! good choices… Scones delicious

    The view non existent! otherwise lovely!!

    8FionaPosted on: 4-10-2025

    Liked the room & staff in bar / night duty security friendly & welcoming

    Breakfast was ok

    4DavidPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Breakfast was just ok - it was served in main function room of hotel - so not really a very nice atmosphere - but all staff very friendly.

    A lot of noise in the middle of the night - impossible to sleep from about 2.30 - 3.30am - we maybe just got unlucky- we were told the next morning there was a visiting sports team staying as a one off and in fairness a small discount was offered - but it really spoilt the experience for us either way.

    Rooms are big, food in the restaurant is very good

    The nightclub is right below and there is no way anyone can sleep with that noise, it felt as if the walls of the room were trembling. The WiFi doesn't work either. Pillows were also very uncomfortable.

    9LouisePosted on: 3-10-2025

    Staff so friendly and very efficient and professional.Very very clean. Dining rooms are beautifully finished

    No complaints

    9MaryPosted on: 2-25-2025

    The bedroom and bathroom exceeded my expectations. I really loved the design and decor

    I was a bit disappointed in the breakfast. The back pudding and mushrooms required more cooking. The potato bread also needed to be crispy on the outside

    10DenisePosted on: 2-23-2025

    The staff are just so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Really good value for money and right beside the sea. The bar food was excellent, delicious!! The rooms were really comfortable and warm. Defiantly be back!!

    10GeorgePosted on: 2-22-2025

    Brilliant location, rooms clean and modern, breakfast fantastic and staff very friendly and helpful. A brilliant hotel all round.

    Nothing. A great hotel.

    10MooneyPosted on: 2-20-2025

    Food was good and the hotel was clean and tidy, also the staff were very friendly.

    9GlennPosted on: 2-10-2025

    Breakfast, room and dinner all great

    Room was perhaps a bit too warm on arrival

    10AnnePosted on: 2-6-2025

    Dinner was very nice and breakfast was plentiful with a buffet. It was great value

    The only thing was the hall sensor light kept going on and off with people returning to their rooms through the night- it was right outside my door that has large gaps around for the light to shine through and light up the room.
