Hotels With Gym in County Dublin, Ireland

I booked this hotel for my husband who was on a business trip and decided to come along as it gave me a chance to visit Dublin. Am so glad I did. I had a polished, gracious welcome, a lovely room (thankfully facing away from the main streets) which was quiet, stylish but most of all, very comfortable. I enjoyed the vibe in the lobby, it’s well used by guests as well as locals and the breakfast was generous and extensive. It’s always great when a hotel will continue to look after you after check out and my bags were taken care of and transport advice offered. Perfect stay!

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.

Excellent location, centre of town. New very clean, fab roof top terrace.

I would say this is the best service I’ve experienced in Dublin! First of all,I’d especially like to mention a Chinese female receptionist.I noticed her tag named Pei. She is extremely patient and friendly.We didn’t even realize that there was an option between a shower and a bathtub.She proactively asked us if we’d prefer the shower?Since we don’t really like bathtubs,she kindly arranged a room with a shower for us and also was on 6 floor(we prefer higher floor）.That was really thoughtful of her! Also,there was a male staff in the bar who was really helpful.We had bought some food from outside but didn’t have any cutlery,we asked for disposable forks,and instead he gave us metal forks,it made us feel really welcomed. Actually the room itself was a bit smaller than we expected,but the view was nice!

The facilities are a bit outdated, and breakfast is the same all week. I wanted a quiet room, but I was assigned a first-floor room with a view of the air conditioner, which was a bit noisy.

The man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming as soon as my friends and I arrived. The rooms were kept especially clean throughout our entire stay. The friends I traveled with also ate at the breakfast and said the price was fair because the buffet was so good. 10/10 stay. Also just a ten-ish minute ride downtown and airport.

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!

It was a great stay overall. The location was perfect. It was near the center of Dublin. But was set in a quiet neighborhood just outside it. It is a doable walk to a park set along the water. I loved the Medieval Theme. The staff was friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The dual shower heads are a nice setup. .Request a view of the front of the hotel. The only potential negative is the distance from the airport and the train.
