Acceptable Stay with Some Shortcomings

spacious roombasic changing roomslow-quality toilet paper

The room was quite spacious.

I found the pool less than satisfactory. The changing rooms seemed more suited to a public facility than a high-end hotel. I was also surprised by the low-quality toilet paper provided. It did not meet my expectations.

the room was great it was a beautiful king room i had secure parking which was a great bonus i always felt welcome since the staff was always friendly and helpful the balcony offered views of the royal hospital kilmainham grounds. it was lovely. i will look for the same room when i come back.

my only small issue was the lack of cosmetic product samples in the bathroom this could easily be improved with a small addition to the room i didn't have shampoo i had to go and ask for it at the reception this was a slight inconvenience.
