"Our room was a bit tired and there was only a fan and it was very hot no air conditioning so we had to move rooms as we couldn’t sleep.
Moved to a family room with AC but didn’t get any refund for the difference in room."
"Great little locally owned place. The food was good. The pub was great. Friendly locals gathered as well as fellow travelers. Had a great time and really enjoyed staying at the hotel so much, we decided to stay another night.
The staff was also very accommodating where they could be, although we did have a few issues. We had some trouble with no heat in our room the first night. The staff was quick to respond to turn it on that evening; however, it didn't get/stay on, so it never warmed up, and was very cold. Due to the limited staff availability, (not available 24 hours,) we we unable to get heat until the next day. They did attend to it to ensure it worked the next day though. The other issue was not having a way to make outbound local calls. As we were traveling internationally, our phones couldn't be used for calls (due to phone plan,) and we found ourselves scrambling with other guests to order food delivery one night, since we missed the 8pm food cut off. We were able to find someone else also looking to order food, but it was unnecessarily complicated and stressful. I understand, though. They are a small, local place and need to keep costs down where they can.
Overall, we had a wonderful time, the staff was accommodating, and we would definitely stay there again if/when we make it back to Curracloe!"
"Check in was about 20 seconds, our room was ready at 3pm. Disappointed with the balcony, we couldn't open the door due to what looks like an extention. Pillows were awful, too big and puffy. Swimming pool and leisure areas was nice and well maintained. Our time in the pool was short lived with 15 screaming young girls taking over the place. Food in the bar was really good. Portions were huge. Lovely, helpful staff. Breakfast was table service. The pancake machine could really do with been moved for people that don't want them.
It is right beside the cereals, toast and juices and its was a battle to get at them!"
"I didn’t have a chance to have breakfast this time but the staff was offering ne to have a take away or earlier than their schedule but I refused because it was too early for me. The room was excellent and they even gave me a welcome gift and free drinks. I will definitely recommend Arklow Bay Hotel for their good service and excellent staff. They are very accommodating and friendly. 5 star"
