Viatges Comtat de Carlow

We had a lovely stay here. The room was fab and even though there is a nightclub next door we slept like babies because of how soundproof the rooms were. The only thing that was super odd is that when we landed from our flight (obviously in our travel clothes) we made our way to the hotel and the security guard on the door stood there like we didn’t deserve to enter. I said excuse me is this the entrance to the hotel? He looked us up and down and said “you’re staying here?” And smirked. I was quite taken a back by it but he stepped aside and let us in. The entire weekend when we returned from the city he would be there, apart from once or twice, and each time he would give us really strange looks. That is the only things that let it down. I appreciate he has a job to do, but come on…. A young guy and a girl with heavy backpacks and quite obviously comfy travel clothes showing up to the doors of a hotel surely isn’t the weirdest thing he’s seen in his role?

Being unfamiliar with the logistics related to points of interest, museums, transportation access, etc. in Dublin, we booked this hotel which is on the north side of the Liffey River. Since most of our activities were on the south side of the river and walking to them was more strenuous than we wanted, we used taxi service frequently even though the location of the Ruby Molly was not too far from those activities. The hotel has a very good breakfast fare and area, and the bar is convenient. The room is a little tight but very serviceable. My one suggestion is that due to the limited space between the end of the bed frame and the TV shelf, the sharp corners of the bed frame should have rubber covers to preclude shin impact as you move around the bed.

Wonderful—exceptional service.
