Top Blackrock College Hotel Reviews

The Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cool building, vintage decor. Interesting historical building. Driving directions made it hard to find. Super strong bad fish smell in the lobby at check in."

St. Helen's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was really delicious."

Clayton Hotel Leopardstown

8/10 Good

"Great modern hotel, common areas are great. The rooms probably need an upgrade as they are the same for the last 10 years or more but have been maintained well. Only complaint is the noise. We were in a room on the top floor directly across from the lifts, where they happened to be doing very loud construction everyday starting at 8am. This combined with some noise from the roof outside like dripping or something metronome like, meant we didn’t get much sleep both nights we stayed."

Maldron Hotel Merrion Road

10/10 Excellent

"Good clean and spacious room. Nice breakfast, overall nice hotel."

InterContinental Dublin by IHG

8/10 Good

"No vegan option on the menu"

Talbot Hotel Stillorgan

10/10 Excellent

"Reception staff especially warm and welcoming which elevated the experience overall. Anna in the bar / dining room is outstanding most professional with warmth and charm. Breakfast good value but over reliant on traditional fry."

Donnybrook Hall

8/10 Good

"Had a hard time getting in after dark, as there wasn’t an outside light on. Couldn’t read the entry code instructions. No one answered the doorbell. It was scary . My room was on the top floor, which was difficult, with my suitcase ; there was not a lift. My room was very hot; had to open the windows for it to cool down. As I was right outside the school playground next door, the noise woke me up early. Staff was very helpful & kind."

Gleesons Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay staff was friendly. Check-in was easy. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were clean and quiet. Highly recommend this place."

Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge

8/10 Good

"Room was ok although there was a problem with the water for the bath never really being hot. 'Night Manager' fobbed us off when we brought it to his attention. Breakfast excellent, lots of choice. Reception staff do a great job."
