“Royal Marine Hotel 1 Night Stay”

Arrived into Dublin and selected this property to stay at due to the closeness of the airport and our itinerary of travelling more south. The property was nice enough and the basic room comfortable. The mattress was amazing!! Very comfortable which goes hand in hand for a great sleep. The food choice for supper was great. We had lamb and beef for supper and it was perfectly cooked. Our entire supper meal was a 10. We ventured out and about to the nearby shopping and pier. All very close which enhanced our stay. The only negative was at checkout we had to insist on getting a copy of our zero balance bill. The person checking us out was not accommodating at all insisting our zero balance portfolio would be sent to Expedia our travel agent. At the end of the day with a little firmness from us we did get a copy of our bill. Not a big deal however puts a bit of a down spin on an overall great stay.

Area recommendations
The nearby shopping mall and pier are both areas close enough to get out and about to. We enjoyed walking/jogging close to the water/pier area.

“nice location”

the hotel is conveniently located near by the train and the harbor; we used the train everyday; we took the shuttle from and to the airport, it is very convenient because the coach comes every hour; we walked around the area of the hotel; we ate at the hotel's restaurant twice, limited variety of food; there are many restaurants close by and a small shopping mall just less than 10 minutes walk; the marine museum is just outside the vicinity of the hotel but it was close and up for sale; a church is by the corner; the hotel needs some maintenance, I noticed some paint are peeling off and rug at the entrance needs to be replaced; When we got to the hotel, I noticed that they had a promo and the breakfast was included; but at the time that we booked our room, breakfast was not included. I will recommend this hotel because I like the location and my husband and I did not have a problem taking the train everyday going to the city center and even to Wexford;

Getting there
Getting around Dublin, I would recommend to buy the Dublin pass because it is very convenient to have it, it saves time and money; there was a free tour that we participated in; the tour guide appreciate the tip; wear a good walking shoes because it is only through walking that you will discover the city of Dublin; take a wind jacket or a coat with you because the weather is very unpredictable; we started our day early in the morning and back to the hotel late in the afternoon; we did not really want to be on the street late at night; we bought the ticket for the train round trip everyday going to the city center or wherever we wanted to go; Dublin has a good transporation, I have seen many double decker buses around the city.

“Good...but be warned”

So the hotel is older and could use some updates....but it's clean and great location to jump off from. If you chose to not get a rental car there is a train that brings you pretty close to the hotel (about a block away). The prices of food is somewhat reasonable but remember this is not American food so be prepared that a burger doesn't exactly taste like a burger (but not bad). Don't pay for breakfast or desserts....not worth it. There is a pastry store very close by...it closes at 7pm. If you are staying through a weekend...I would ask if there are any wedding happening...if so, get a high level floor, otherwise you will here music till 2 or 3 am...it happened on 2 nights for me. The pool is mainly for lap swimmers and you have to wear a swim cap...there are family times, but they are not convenient. Overall, it was worth it...but if any of the above will bother you, than I would chose a different option.

Area recommendations
The town of Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Dun Leary) is safe a active during the day...but like most of Ireland, it shuts down between 5-7pm.

“Scenic and then some”

The Royal Marine Hotel is a beautiful place to stay while in Dublin. It is a short ride on the train to downtown Dublin. There is plenty of shops and places to eat within walking distance of the hotel if you want to stay by the water for the day. Spending time on the docks is a very pleasant way to pass the time as well.

“Great value, well worth a visit”

- excellent seaside location with DART on the doorstep and free parking. Restaurant was closed all the time we were there, not sure why, but meals were still available in the lobby - not very comfortable place to eat unfortunately. Overall though no better place to stay in the area at this price. Pain in the butt to find, since seafront construction is going on through mid 2011, but persevere!

“Excellent price for Dublin”

The rooms were excellent - especially considering that the hotel is from the 1800's. Highly recommended if you have a car to get around since it is a few miles from the city centre of Dublin.

“See the Irish Sea”

This hotel was right on the Irish Sea. You could take wonderful walks along the coastline very morning. The hotel was somewaht older but that enhanced the charm. The service in the hotel was exceptional. The town was quaint and full of wonderful shops and tea rooms. I would highly recommend the Royal Marine hotel, it was a great value!

Must see
Ask for directions to Trim Castle..this is where they filmed "Braveheart". It was magnificent.
