Ireland Kid friendly Vacations

Excellent room and the room service was great!

The grounds are awesome, they have a playground for children, and a football pitch.

I was pretty disappointed by our stay at the Saint Augustine Staycity Aparthotels. It's listed as 4-star hotel on Hotels.com, probably because they pressure you to rate the place immediately when you check out, and I just did not find that it lived up to that rating. The staff was friendly, but the apartment was not in great condition. There was an infestation of drain flies/gnats in the bathroom and kitchen sink, so they were dying all over the place. Luckily, we didn't need the kitchen for cooking, because that would have been quite unsanitary. The tub in the bathroom was all scuffed up and brown on the bottom, and very curved - it would be dangerous for an older person to stand there to shower. The beds were hard as rocks and strangely uneven, so I often felt like I would slide out. We booked this apartment because it came with a washer/dryer, but one load of laundry was still damp after 6 hours of washing/drying. I've used washer/dryers all over the world so I get that it's not going to be as efficient as one in the US, but this was the worst I've encountered. That said, the location was very walkable, and we did have a lot of space. It was also cheaper than a lot of places. I just kind of ended up wishing we had spent a little more money for somewhere else, because for what we spent I didn't think it was worth it.

The hotel is cashless so only takes card payments. Accessible and great location next to O’Connell Street.

Beautiful grounds here at Fota Island Resort. Every member of staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One of the most comfortable beds we have slept in for a long, long time.
