Kingston Hotel  

Having previously stayed at the Kingston on our last visit to Ireland, we decided to stay again due to welcoming, friendly staff and the clean comfortable room. We were delighted that everything was how we remembered with beautiful views and with the added bonus of a new italian resturant within the hotel, which was thoroughly enjoyable and after a few glasses of wine we didnt have far to rest our heads

I loved the view from my window of the sea, the staff was very helpful and I enjoyed the breakfast and the bar facilities which included the food. The location beside the dart was great and the town of Dun Laoighaire was interesting too.

The price was excellent. The staff were great - really helpful and pleasant to deal with. The location overlooking the sea is fantastic. The hotel is undergoing renovations and if the standard in the public areas is replicated in the rooms then it will be great.

The bedrooms are in need of a face-lift and were too hot. The restaurant prices were a bit high for a budget hotel

I really enjoyed my stay at your hotel, particularly the fact that the receptionist membered also my booking when I arrived also the fact that car parking was free and would encourage me to use this hotel again

i didnt like anything about the hotel the room was dirty the beds were lumpy the water wasnt hot in the bathroom the tv didnt work found a red false nail in the bed so all around very poor house keeping ,wouldnt recamend to a friend

I was centre to town

Staff not very helpfull, our lights would not work in room so had to make do with two poor lit lamps ,not good if you enjoy to read befor sleep, bed very unconfortable did not sleep for most off the night , some one should show the chambermaid how to dress bed blanket not on right way across bed instead of longway top cover a dead weight I sugest owner of hotel sleep for one night , if he care about people and see for him self how he feels , good points near town, clean, big rooms pity about staff maybe not all , ours was night lady, no smiles pity smiles are free , and goes a long way to make up for any proplems

The friendly helpful staff. The excellect soup at lunch time. Good quality and reasonably priced food and drink. The location.

Not enought light in bedroom to read. Although in process of being refurbished so this problem may be solved.

Location was excellent , close to sea and centre of town . staff very friendly and helpful ,

Room was a bit old fashioned , and musty smell initally , but beds clean and comfy .

It was basic but with everything you need. Our room was very spacious, clean and quiet. The food delicious. The staff was excellent, friendly and efficient. I had a lovely weekend with my boyfriend and I cant wait to get back to Dun Laoghaire and to the Kingstone Hotel. Thank you!

Stayed at this hotel as we were catching the fast ferry. Nice ambience, friendly staff, room was nice and the shower was excellent. Had dinner in the bar overlooking the harbour with splendid views. A very nice meal, friendly service, good value and overall this is a comfortable hotel in an excellent location.

If I wanted to nit-pick, the car park, which is located in front of the hotel, but you have to access it via a different road is a bit tight to get in and out of. Also has a 'no vans' sign, which was a bit of a problem as we had our van with us as we were travelling on business. No one seemed to mind us parking it there and reception said it wasn't a problem when we checked in. Apart from that 'nit-pick', I couldn' fault the Kingston and would return again.

Convenience

Being charged in GBP with mark-up whereas I wanted to pay in Euro.

The location is a nice one, just by the seaside. Hotel rates and value for money is good. The restaurant service is also good.

Rooms equipment is only fair.

The room was comfortable but there was an upleasent smell in the bathroom

The hotel reception was very big & empty with only 2, 2seater sofa's which didn;t appear to be customer friendly. There did not appear to be any disabled facilities, there were steps up to reception, & down to the car park. I was not told were to park & when I went to get my car after checking out there was a note on the windscreen to say I had parked in a space belonging to a resident in the apartment block adjoining the hotel. All in all it suited the purpose for what I was there for.
