Newgrange Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We only stayed one night, but I wish we had been able to stay longer. The location was excellent, right in the middle of an interesting area of the city, but it was surprisingly quiet in our room even with the window open. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. I think it was the best night sleep any of us got this trip. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and took advantage of the included breakfast the next morning. The food was all very good. The Library area was perfect for me to get some work done in the morning while the rest of my family slept. The room was clean and seemed to have a new rug and I really appreciated the tabletop fan in our room. I would choose to stay here again if I’m back in the area."

"Bar and restaurant staff were excellent, attentive and provided great service. Front of house/reception staff in my opinion were less so. Reception staff set the scene therefore they should greet staff with a smile, be friendly and take some time to run through what’s what. This was missing. I also think that a surcharge of 17 euros for breakfast when paying 135 euros for accommodation is very expensive. I declined and went to the local town where my breakfast cost less than 10 euros"
