Bewleys Hotel Ballsbridge  

The Food was top class.

We did'nt like the fact that the cleaning Staff kept knocking on oour door from 8.30a.M., this happened at least 5 times and once she actually came into the room, our check out time was 12 noon, and we were there to relax., Also the price of the car park is a bit crazy, I have never been to any hotel where I was charged for the use of the car park once I was staying over night.

Likes: Parking garage and price.

Dislikes: It's a maze to get from the parking garage up to the rooms, and the signage is entirely inadequate. We had reserved our room for 4 occupants, and we arrived to find only 2 towels. Breakfast is pricey, so were were glad we ventured out and stumbled across Roly's Bistro. Wi-fi access is limited to the lobby. Attractions are a far walk. I recommend staying elsewhere.

Room very nice. Cleaning staff excellent.

I disliked the offhand fake friendship of the reception staff. They seem to have the impression that they are doing visitors a favour. Visitors pay their wages so a little less indifference please and less in house cosy conversations while guests wait for service. " Are you ok there" is not the way to address a guest.

Quiet place, comfy bed, tea and coffee in the room, friendly staff, bathtub for phisically impaired (presumably, as we didn't need it) in every room, bus stops from/to the airport and from/to the center in front of the main entrance.

Sheets way too hot, bathub uncomfortable for two (obviously), wireless not (as they say instead) in all the rooms.

breakfast-Eggcellent! Comfortable bed,nice room,a very good hotel all-round,thank you Bookings.com.

Very bad lift service,only two lifts for a large-ish amount of residents,also the mean charge of £1-50 to bring my car from the street into the hotel grounds to collect my luggage on checkout

I liked the location best, this hotel is really close to the city centre and a 15 min walk to Sandymount beach. The rooms were a good size and clean. Reception staff were freindly and helpful.

I didn't like the hotel cleaning staff coming into our room before 9am to clean - she knocked on the door and immediately entered the room using her master key - we didn't get a chance to respond! I addressed it with reception and they immediately called the person in charge of housekeeping.

I requested my 2 rooms on the 3rd floor and for the rooms to be interconnecting and was accomadated on both occassions. Hotel itself was nice, considering what I paid. Would recommend for one night with a family as they were very accomadating.

Queue at reception to check in was mad....I Waited about 20 minutes to check in with young children, thats a bit much and that was a constant queue. Beds were not of the best standard, some springs were broke on them. The rooms are not sound proof as we could hear everything next door and outside the door. Went to the bar down stairs for food and although it was lovely, it was cold..Ordered a drink from a member of staff and after 20 minutes went up to the bar to order it myself as he dissappeared. No little shampoo or condition bottles in the bathroom and the soap was empty. Had to pay €10 for the car park (never had to do this before)..

Breakfast was good.

Was quite annoyed that I had to pay 10 euro a night for the car as the reason I chose this hotel was because we were on a budget so I declined to have breakfast in the hotel on our second morning so compensate for the extra parking charge. I have never stayed in a hotel where I was charged for parking before and I felt it was a sneaky charge. The reception staff were a bit scruffy looking and I had to get my car park card replaced more than once because it didn't work properly. We were also allocated the wrong room originally. And the family room included a sofa bed which wasn't very comfortable to sleep on. So overall I wouldn't be inclined to stay again.

Lack of any toiletries in the bathroom Having only 1 set of towels for a double room - there was a second set but they were in a drawer in the bedroom! Having to wait at reception Slow service in the restaurant

The room was excellent just what we wanted. Quiet, comfortable and all that we needed. The fact that it was close to the DART made it easy to get to the City or the seaside and other places was a definate plus. The breakfast gave every choice anyone could want. The coffee was excellent. The rooms were very clean and serviced daily. The cleaning staff were extremely polite and helpful. The Lounge was charming and a pleasure to sit in for a quiet drink. The building itself was beautiful.

No instructions for use of the television ie. how to change the channels, or what stations were available. However, this is a small niggle as we came to see beautiful Ireland not the television.

Overnight stay was ideal as my wife was attending St Vincent's Hospital with an early a.m. appointment.The room was very nice and sooted our needs.

Location, food was good

Staff - smile costs nothing!!!!
