Top Rathmines Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Newcastle by IHG

8/10 Good

"This hotel was very nice. More upscale than typical holiday inn express hotels. Great breakfast included. The location was good but no real view to see. It was a city hotel but close to everything. The front desk staff were very friendly."

Crown on Darby

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an excellent location to walk to the beach, parks, galleries, shops. Plenty to see in every direction you go. Loved the spa bath, to run the water from the tap wasn’t working, so we needed to use the shower head to fill the bath. That took a little longer, but we still enjoyed the relaxing spa bath. The bed, kitchenette , balcony, large tv was excellent. We will come again. Regards Eva"

The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic. One of our favourite places to stay. The major issue though is the lack room we booked was an interior room with no widow. This is very clearly stated on the actual beachcomber website but it's nowhere on the hotels.com page. The hotel were super helpful but it was very frustrating. Completely the fault of hotels.com"
