We were allocated a room, there was a terrible smell of sewage in the room. We looked for a change of rooms and this was arranged. Breakfast was very good although some of the cooked food was cold.

Beautiful

Honestly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The Bonnington was easy to get to by bus , easy check in and check out . The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, spacious and very clean . Good amenities available and walking distance from bus stop, restaurants and shops . Can’t recommend this hotel enough

Neil

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel is a complete disappointment and does not meet expectations at all. The building looks like an old, run-down house. At reception, three employees seemed overwhelmed and unprofessional. I arrived at 14:40 and wasn’t allowed to check in until 15:00. In the meantime, I had a club sandwich with fries for €15. Which was okay. The room is furnished with outdated, worn, and cheap furniture. The so-called wellness area is a joke – it looks like a school swimming pool. The sauna and Turkish bath are extremely basic, the area is not clean, and the plastic loungers are impossible to relax on. Even the shower didn’t get properly warm. Charging CHF 170 per night for this is outrageous.

Great stay. Great hotel

Despite having reservations about hotels.com from seeing some not so great reviews. The hotel did receive our booking and all was okay. Just call up the hotel before hand to see if they have received the booking before you go. The hotel was a great find. Only 30 minutes to airport and 30 minutes into Dublin. Lovely facilities and nice and clean. Expensive breakfast though which was nice but nothing special.
