Kilcullen Vacation Packages

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)

Great service throughout. Lovely property in a central location.

The reviews on this have been variable so it’s time to weigh in with my own. Bottom line - if you want a decent stay for a cost-effective price, DO consider this. If you’re looking for the Ritz, it’s probably wrong for you. This is normally student accommodation and so is way better than a hostel while not being a hotel. You get your own, modern, fairly smart room with an en suite shower room and toilet. There’s also a modern shared kitchen/TV area with oven and microwave and washing up facilities just down the corridor. The crockery, kettle etc seemed to have come from Ikea and some were still in their plastic, to give you an idea. The fridge/freezer looked new as far as cleanliness goes. Yes, the shower was a bit slow to drain (design flaw I think), but that’s as bad as it got. Bella on reception was ever-pleasant and helpful and I was able to leave my suitcase for a few hours on the last day. This place is on the edge of the centre, so not a bad location. There are one or two places to eat, plus takeaways and convenience stores in easy walking distance. I personally feel I nailed it with this as a choice for a cheap city break - it met my expectations and did the job very nicely. Recommendation for a good break? Leave your car at home and order yourself a visitor’s Leap Card to get around. Dublin hates cars and has pretty great bus, train and tram (Luas) systems. I didn’t know what I was doing and I didn’t go far wrong.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at Carton House. The manor home and grounds are absolutely beautiful and the Carriage House restaurant (one of two restaurants) was wonderful. We want to especially thank our porter, Jake, who assisted us with our luggage and later provided us with a guided tour of the manor home, which was built by the FitzGerald family in the 1720s. On our second day, we enjoyed a thirty minute walk from the hotel to the nearby town of Maynooth. Fabulous hotel. You'll love it!

The service at The Dylan was superb! Everything from the desk staff to restaurant was first rate. We stayed three days before flying to London for a brief visit before returning. The staff was helpful in putting our extra luggage aside until we returned, at which time everything was brought to our room in advance. We highly recommend staying here!
