My stay at this hotel was lovely, easy and pleasurable. When I arrived, I checked in with a very friendly man. The keys to the bedrooms were old-style (i.e., lock and key, versus electronic) which I found nice and quaint. The bedroom was immaculately clean, as was the bathroom - which also looked to be newly-refurbished! The mattress was extremely comfortable and I found that the bedsheets weren't the typical scratchy variety you get in the usual hotel, but were actually nice and soft - not exactly 'brushed cotton', but quite close. As a person that is very sensitive to scratchy bedsheets, I really appreciated this. The proximity of the hotel to Kildare Village and also to Dublin was great! The breakfast in the morning was so tasty; tea was served promptly on arrival and I ordered the French toast with maple syrup and bacon. Food was delicious. I didn't eat dinner in the hotel the previous night as I was in the neighbouring county Dublin until late. There was hot /cold water in the showers on demand and there were lovely shower gels/shampoos all laid out nicely. The bedrooms had tea/coffee making facilities with nice, big ceramic mugs at your disposal (unlike the typical small-and-white variety of mug often offered at hotels). The electric fire was on in the lobby until late and I was sorry I didn't get in from Dublin before 11pm as I would've loved to have tried a cocktail from Soul Burger!!! Bedclothes and towels smelled lovely and fresh. Room was quiet at nighttime but there was a bit of noise from traffic passing outside - also, blackout curtains mightn't go amiss! All in all, a great stay and brilliant family-run hotel - I will recommend it to friends/family and will be back.
