28 Apr 2025The town of Arklow is a quaint, quiet little town, very walkable, a river nearby. The Hotels proprietor was a very friendly, kind, helpful man. Check in at the bar was quick, room was nicely renovated, it could have been the time of year but it was VERY quiet in the upstairs area, I felt like I was the only one staying there. There was a bountiful, delicious breakfast the next morning, a full Irish breakfast and I had a lovely chat with the barkeep....he had been working there for 50 years...amazing! The only tiny criticism I had was that I couldn't get any hot water in the shower, could have been I didn't wait long enough or just old pipes, but a hot shower would have been nice. I would recommend!

30 Jul 2026The buffet breakfast was a joke with a bowl of fruit and loads of fruit flies flying out of it disgusting! Flask of hot water and Luke warm milk for cereal. The shower head was broken and pigeons nesting just outside the window !

8 Aug 2025Far from a "royal hotel". Just a pub...
Do you like lying awake until the nightclub closes at 02.40? That the password in the room for wifi goes to a wifi that doesn't exist? That there are big tears in the wallpaper? That the mirror in the bathroom is older than the nation of Ireland? That the window hangs askew and can't be closed? That you check in at the pub so that drunk villagers find out your name and room number. Then this is the place for you!
