Sandy mount hotel is convenient for train to get you into Dublin centre. Lift from car park to reception was broken which meant we had to carry bags up lots of stairs, porters did help with suit cases. Overall cost with Expedia was not competitive with Hotel’s price. For 2 nights we paid over £100 more than hotel were advertising and breakfast was not included, We ate in the restaurant which was not a pleasant experience. The food was great, the service too was good but the design of the room with so many windows, tiled floors and nothing to absorb the surrounding sounds made dining unpleasant. We could hardly hear each other and we were sitting opposite each other. On a plus the room was comfy and hotel convenient. I won’t be using Expedia again having found I could have saved £100 on the same booking.

The lift from the parking lot to reception was broken requiring everyone to carry there luggage past (and often into) our door. We were the only room on the stairwell landing from parking and it was constant bumping and dragging of bags down the stairs as people checked out starting at 6am. There was also a large bright security light just outside and angle slightly toward our window. It was quite bright in the room even with the blackout shades closed, and you had to keep the shades closed so you could open the window to get airflow. The hotel itself eas fine and the food at the restaurant good. DO NOT stay in room 271 if you can avoid it.

We enjoyed the neighbourhood and the character if the hotel. The staff were pleasant but not as helpful as in other places. We felt like an inconvenience when we had questions. Maybe it was very busy??

We liked that it was close to Sandymount Green and Landsdowne Train Station. Did not like when you would shower water would end up all over the floor due to glass stall design
