Laytown Vacations from ￥240,794

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are disgracefully small. More like a “ShoeBox” considering €350 for a night. No room to move round or put a suitcase. Smallest room I have ever stayed in. Service in the ground floor restaurant was just okay…. Took a good bit of calling to get service and reminders to get what we ordered.

Centrally located, near transportation, and pickups for excursions.

I planned a whole year to come to Dublin, and while doing my research, I came across ‘The Leinster’ on Expedia. I thought this would be an awesome place to spend a week and celebrate my birthday in this area. The staff was nice, and we also had dinner on the rooftop at ‘Jean George’. I don’t know if the menu changes throughout the season, but I had sea bass, and it was amazing. They also celebrated my birthday, which was sweet. The hotel is honestly the best and safest place if you want to travel around Dublin. You can take the Dublin Bus, and most likely you will be there in 15-20 minutes if you want to go shopping in Dames or wherever your heart desires, whether it’s sightseeing or if you are a foodie. Seriously, treat yourself! The only thing I regret is not buying a pair of earrings they had on display.

Our room was very clean, the bed comfortable and the staff were kind. Unfortunately, our stay was ruined by the on-site construction that was going on in the courtyard of the building all day starting at or before 8am and going all the way until 5. It was EXTREMELY loud and you could not rest or focus on any work. There was no where to put our bags nor anywhere to put our things in the bathroom. While the room was pretty, the design was not functional. The pool area, which is actually one giant hot tub, was quite dirty. At the end of the stay I mentioned the noise and was given a small credit about 1/8th of what I paid for the stay.

Good breakfast, parking expansive!
