8/10 Good
"Hotel is very well situated. Staff were pleasant and helpful. It would be nice to be able to just buy coffee in the breakfast room even if you are not having breakfast i rather than having to buy one expensive cup at the bar. As with many hotels in Europe/UK and even the US, there is little room for luggage so it is frustrating having to step around luggage on the floor and we did not bring big bags. Often for two travelers, two luggage racks and room to set them up would be great. It was nice to access my Netflix when we were in the room at night. Nice lobby to socialize in if you are with friends or having a drink. All in all a good experience."

Rochestown Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, there was a kettle and a mini fridge. Beds were comfortable. It was close for the things we needed. Walking distance to some restaurants. We always saw staff cleaning. The pool was great. Didn't realize I needed a swim cap but they have them available for sale at the pool desk. We didn't use the on-site bar or restaurant. The restaurant has a nice sun room that looked like a great place to enjoy some down time. We did have noise from the room next door because of the adjoining room door which didn't have any sound damping. Also we ended up booking a double room and the beds were small. They did provide a flat sheet for us as it was too warm in the room for a duvet."
