The Royal Marine Hotel has a stunning grand facade and lovely sea views from my room, but I faced several service hiccups during my stay. While the breakfast buffet had a good variety, the staff were inconsistent, with some being attentive and others ignoring requests. There were also issues with my room's bathroom cleanliness and shower pressure, which detracted from my experience. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but improvements are needed in service efficiency and room maintenance. 🌊🛏️

My stay at the Royal Marine Hotel was a mixed bag. The location by Dun Laoghaire harbor offered stunning views, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the dated room I had lacked many amenities, including functioning wifi, which left me feeling a bit disappointed overall.

While my room was comfortable and well-equipped, there were problems with the internet connection, and I was disturbed by loud noise from a nearby event. Overall, the hotel has great potential, but there were some disappointing aspects during my visit. 🌊🛌

My stay at The Royal Marine Hotel had its highs and lows. The historic charm of the hotel was lovely, but the check-in experience was a hassle, with room mix-ups and lack of proper communication. On the bright side, the spa was fantastic, and the food was really good. Overall, while there were significant issues, certain aspects of the hotel did shine through.

The room I eventually got was nice but not what I initially booked. The trouble to change was frustrating, and the other room had a view that wasn’t great. The air conditioning worked well, which was a plus.

The service was hit or miss. Some staff were friendly and helpful, especially after my check-in troubles. However, I expected more attentiveness given the situation, and it felt like they could've done better during the initial mix-up.

The location is fantastic, close to the pier and great for shopping and walks. It was easy to get around on public transport, which I loved, but I wish my room had a view to enjoy it better.

Dining was a highlight. The food was really good at the restaurant, though I had to ask for steak knives, which was a bit odd. The breakfast offering was commendable as well, adding to the overall dining experience.

The spa was a standout feature for relaxation, with great facilities. Plus, the gym and pool access was a nice bonus. However, minor issues with room service could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the Royal Marine Hotel, with its stunning sea views and prime location near Dun Laoghaire’s DART station. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast offered a wide variety, though it did get a bit crowded. However, I found the decor to be a mix of modern and dated styles that could use some cohesion. Overall, it was a charming place to unwind for my short getaway.
