Sandpit Holidays from AU$994

You’ll be just far enough from the hustle and bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet, yet still only a short walk from everything you need. The property is close to the water and surrounded by charming brick buildings, giving the neighborhood a clean and historic feel. Within just a two-minute stroll, you’ll find a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafés, perfect for exploring at a slower pace. It’s a lovely spot for leisurely walks around the community—close to the action without being right in the middle of Temple Bar.

The only disappointment was our dinner at the hotel restaurant. We ate there last year and were blown away by the food. We had soup and that was ok the side caesar salad was witty. The crab and fig entrée salad was not very good. The signature drinks at the bar were excellent and the breakfast was very good.

Buyer beware - rooms are minuscule. It was out last of 10 nights across Ireland and we had stellar hotel and castle experiences throughout this amazing country. We booked a contemporary king room that looked much larger than it is in reality. I suspect the photo is of an executive king room which was the only size larger than the contemporary king. The initial room we were placed in looked over an alley with pallets, trash bins and AC units | motors. We could not fit our bodies in the room and open the luggage at the same time. It was ridiculous. Smallest room I’ve ever been in across the EU, APAC and US. And, don’t even consider the possibility of getting a balcony room. They only have 2 in the hotel. The manager, named Sincor (I’m certain I am misspelling) moved us across the hall so we didn’t have trash and AC units to look at - and it had a small bump out window that gave room for a suitcase. He gave us 2 drinks at the bar (1 for each of us) and took $35.78 off the the $460 room.

Good location, spaceous room, helpful staff. We did find the hallways were noisy as was activity outside our room that was disruptive.

Beautiful hotel with impeccable service. Staff was very accomodating.
