"The rooms are relatively large for Europe. We booked a quadruple room and a double room. At least there was enough space to open three large suitcases."
"I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!"
Very Good

"I was a little worried when I saw the low rating at first, but I booked it because it was close to the school. Unexpectedly, I felt great after checking in. The furniture in the hotel room felt very high-end, the workmanship was good, and the view from the window was also very good. There is the sea in the distance, the surrounding area is very quiet, and it is convenient to travel. The bus station is 2-3 minutes away from the door."
"This is the hotel I chose when I went to Dublin in the past two years. The room is big enough for Europe. The Italian restaurant in the hotel is also delicious. I highly recommend it. It is a hotel like a manor. You can see the rainbow and the sea."
"Super nice apartment, very big and clean, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. There is an open kitchen, washing machine, radiator and large fridge. All facilities are available. The bedroom and the large living room are both on both sides with a balcony, very beautiful ~ just the front desk is not easy to find, the front desk work hours 9:00-17:00. Check in the earliest is two o'clock in the afternoon, check out at 11 o'clock in the morning..."
"The hotel location is very close to the Green Line. It is an economical type. The room has no air conditioning, no refrigerator, and no facial tissue. Only VIP-level guests will get wet."
"The apartment is the same as the Ctrip picture. The store has opened a sofa bed according to the application requirements, which is practical. The next day was the weekend, and the store was not open when we left in the morning. According to the instructions in the store's room, we put the key in the box at the door of the office and left."
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Aberdeen Lodge. The location is great with a short bus ride into town or you can catch the train with the station also close by.
The owner was very welcoming and all the staff were superb. My daughter has recently moved to Dublin so we are happy we have found somewhere which meets our requirements."
