「這次入住都柏林的修道院酒店,整體體驗有優點也有一些不便。飯店距離市中心及多個主要景點很近,大部分觀光地點都可以步行前往;對面就有一間購物中心,附近也有許多餐廳和酒吧,購物、用餐及晚上外出都很方便。不過飯店距離中央火車站相對較遠,實際步行大約需要25分鐘,攜帶行李時會比較辛苦,因此地點評為4/5。房間整體清潔狀況不錯,日常使用空間維持得令人滿意,整潔度給予4/5。需要注意的是,我們的房間正對大馬路,隔音效果不太理想,外面的交通和街道聲音較容易傳入房內,可能會影響對噪音敏感的旅客。此外,每次進出飯店都需要按電鈴,等候飯店人員統一開門,使用上不如自行刷卡進出方便,因此設施評為3/5。值得肯定的是櫃台人員非常友善,每次協助開門或處理住宿事宜時態度都很好,讓人感到受到歡迎,服務給予滿分5/5。整體而言,飯店適合重視市中心位置、購物及餐飲便利性的旅客,但若在意隔音、夜間噪音或頻繁進出,入住前需要一併考量。 Abbey Hotel is close to Dublin city centre and major attractions. A mall sits opposite with several restaurants and bars close by. Connolly Station is a 25-minute walk away, inconvenient with luggage. Location: 4/5. The room was clean and well kept, earning 4/5, but ours faced the main road with poor soundproofing, so noise was noticeable. To enter, we had to ring the bell and wait for staff to unlock the door. Facilities: 3/5. The front desk staff were always friendly and welcoming. Service: 5/5. Overall, the central location is useful, but noise and controlled entry may not suit everyone.」
TTeacherTravelTimesI decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!
訪訪客用戶My husband and I had been planning this trip to Dublin for quite some time. And when we found this beautiful boutique hotel online, we were so excited. As soon as we arrived And checked in, there was a lot going on in the lobby area, so it was a little overwhelming. We saw a lady at the desk, but we weren’t sure that she actually worked there because she didn’t greet us. Didn’t even look our way. It seemed like she had a general disinterest or disdain for us being there. I asked, “Is this the front desk to the hotel?” To which she responded in a monotone voice, “Yes.” I was shocked that this was the first impression of the hotel that we were getting. What made it worse was that my husband was told that we needed to put a card on hold and he proceeded to tap his card thinking that it was like all the other places we had been to in Ireland. But it didn’t work. Several times he tapped it and it showed nothing. He asked the lady, “does your tap work? Do you have tap?” To which she replied a curt, “no.” Mind you, she was standing there the entire time and could see the entire situation. This interaction was such a bummer, and this made our short trip to Dublin feel a little sour.
To be honest, not all of the stuff was like that morning. We woke up to get a coffee downstairs, and the gentleman that works at the coffee bar was very warm. A young Spanish speaking man. He was absolutely amazing; patient and willing to answer any questions About the items on the menu And the different pastries available.
Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. It had a very chic vibe but outside of that lovely gentleman, their customer service can definitely improve!
