Ballymoon Castle

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.

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.

Decent hotel for a quick stop in Dublin. We liked the location in St Stephen’s Green. The hotel itself is modern and quite large. It’s got a similar vibe to Citizen M and caters to a hip crowd. Breakfast was decent. No complaints.
