Louis Fitzgerald Hotel - Dublin , Ireland     

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights after finding it on the web. Total cost for 2 adults inc full irish breakfast 198 euros which is cheap in comparision to some of the hotels closer to the city centre. The hotel is large and clean and the twin bedrooms include a double and single bed. The rooms are immaculate with hairdryer, safe, bath and shower, iron and board and flat screen tv. Room service didnt have a good choice of food and i was charged 5 euros for tray service, i ordered a beef, chicken and ham sandwich which arrived with 3 plates of crisps and cost 28 euros, very very expensive. There is a vending machine by the lifts where you use you room card to purchase chocolate and drinks etc but a mars bar cost ?1. The LUAS (tram) to the city is a 10- 15 min walk, down the main road, over the bridge at the RED COW island or as the locals call it MAD COW island and it costs 2 euros each to travel to the city centre and takes about 30 minutes. The breakfast was ok, all self service with fresh fruit and breads, meats, sausage,bacon, eggs, black and white pudding and plenty of tea, coffee, toast and juices. Joels restaurant is right next to the hotel and the food is fabulous but like everything in Dublin, very very expensive. I would return to this hotel, its probably one of the best hotels ive stayed in to date.

We stay in this hotel overnight on Saturday 21st June 2008. I booked the hotel through repeatroomex.com.We got a very good deal. I have travelled to Dublin a lot over the years and this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It is as relaxed and intimate as a family run hotel with the class and comfort of the four star standard it has. Although the weather was bad with wind & rain the minute we walked into the foyer it was warm and inviting. The staff were excellent in particular Francis who was in the residence bar. He was very helpful and chatty. The double room we booked was lovely with some lovely extras. The breakfast which was plentiful was served in beautiful surroundings.I will definitely be going back and would recommend this hotel to any one.
