Bonnington Hotel & Leisure Centre

I gave 10 to the hotel to balance some very bed reviews that this hotel got, that are not deserved in our experience. For example, I knew there was a leisure center but I thought it was a fake: something external to the hotel and not really freely accessible to guests. Instead, it is inside the hotel, completely for free (put your swimming cap in the trolley, otherwise you have to buy one for 3 euros - that is the only cost we faced), and very nice. The staff was also super nice: breakfast was not included, but my husband and I had to have breakfast inside the hotel once, since we had to rush away early in the morning. We were ready to pay 17.5 euros each, but since the waiter saw that we just had a coffee and a small piece of cake, she charged us 3.5 euros each, only! All the other days we went to the CENTRA supermarket (5 meters far) to by some croissants and yogurt, and we had very nice breakfasts in the room, spending just a few euros each.

Really great hotel especially for the price! Staff were friendly and helpful as well as the staff in the restaurants. It is directly on a bus route so getting to/from the airport and to Dublin Centre was easy and did not take long no matter the time. The room itself was really good. The bed was very comfortable but my god it was enormous! The tv had a selection of streaming services as well as regular channels such as RTE and TG4. The shower is also something to talk about because it basically has two modes: power wash or lizard tank. In power wash mode the water is so powerful it will knock over all your toiletries, you will come out looking like a lobster, and you will spend time feeling like Teresa Mannion in the “Don’t make unnecessary journeys” video. Lizard mode is the complete opposite. It is a cool mist. If you play rainforest sounds you too can envision yourself was a reptile at the Dublin Zoo as you stand in your glass enclosure absorbing water through osmosis! Other big bonus for me with this hotel was the ability to have the culinary genius of Mad Egg delivered directly to me! I recommend to everyone the Honeybaby burger, tator tots, and honey butter sauce. This meal is so delicious you will be counting down the days until you go to Dublin next just so you can have this delectable sandwich! I have 16 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes, and 58 seconds left. Anywho, hotel is really great. I recommend.
