Punchestown Racecourse

Check in was ok we stayed in a superior twin room, it was clean and quite large for a city location but underwhelming in style, comfort and amenities. We went to breakfast bordering on green/amber times, but it was horribly busy and loud, everything was buffet style and nothing came cooked to order. You can’t get a vegan based milk coffee, I asked and was told it was machine only which used dairy milk, this was disappointing as coffee is a staple at breakfast time. The bar area was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. The bar food was reasonably priced, came quickly and was hot. The location is good and accessible to all key sights.

We had a good experience with some difficulties. The good - the apartment was nicely decorated and spacious, with a kitchen and balcony, and good restaurants nearby. Also, there were tea and biscuits provided. We appreciated the 2 bedrooms, and the staff was friendly and prompt with communication via Expedia messages. The bad - The check in process was cumbersome, having to drive through the city to get the key. Also, we had no hot water the 1st night since we weren't aware there was a special process to turn it on. Also, the picture showed 2 beds in 1 room, and the setup when we got there was 1 bed, but we made do with the couch.
