I had a beef burger, which was not clearly explained, what I thought was a beef burger constructed with pulled brisket beef like a pulled pork burger was not exactly what appeared , it had a cheap burger which had a thin layer of beef brisket cheese and fine crispy onions . It was delivered open , like an open sandwich , the other side of bun had mixed salad ,leaves half of which were gone over , the bun wasn't toasted all for €21..… Do not eat here

Rooms are good - spacious and comfertable. Food in JC's bar is very poor quality and expensive. Most options are deep fried and many in a rather chewey batter - eat elsewhere is the best advice. Breakfast is also not very good for a hotel that charges premium prices for B&B.

Lovely meal in the restaurant, staff lovely. After dinner had drinks next door in the bar, some of the staff lovely but one person so rude, will never be back, we are often in the Downings with family. To find out he was affiliated with the hotel, appalled.

Nice hotel but not worth the prices. At €185 a night in April, this hotel is dearer than many in top destinations like Dublin, London, Madrid etc. But where it really falls down is in the charges for its J.C.’s bar food. A range of starters costing around €10 a go, fish and chips at €20 and a sirloin steak at €30. With a burger priced at €19 with a side of chips costing another €5, these prices are ridiculous. With our one night stay and meal, without a starter, and a bottle of house wine, costing us €310, we won’t be back.

We have called in to this hotel a few times in the morning after a walk on the beach. The warm welcome and attention we have received has been second to none. A special shout out to Angela from the kitchen who served us. She was warm and friendly and had us feel so relaxed and welcome even our wee dig Chaka Khan felt looked after. We left the hotel just wanting to go back and stay for the night. This is the kind of service that makes all the difference . Thank you so much Angela and all the reception staff of the Downings Bay Hotel

Stayed a few times here, can say very clean and well kept hotel. Breakfast was included in the stay but every time we get it even when we are down first thing before it goes out it's never warm and if you dont like something they don't offer to give you anything as a replace, I ended up with one sausage, bacon, hash brown and egg cup full of beans.
