Carlton Hotel

A hotel in a poor location, you won’t be coming here for the views! Certainly not one for tourists probably more suited to corporate visitors to companies in the nearby industrial estates. Not well serviced by public transport either so get ready to fork out for a taxi if you’re not driving. On a recent visit I noticed it has gone quite shabby and none of the hand driers in the ladies were working nor were there any paper towels in the dispenser. Very quiet hotel too, certainly no buzz or activity to speak of.

I have a training in one of the meeting rooms this week. I will tell you all about it as I go.
Minus 1* For the location: I don’t have a car and had to take a taxi. It cost me 27 euros. Let’s see how the bus system serves this area.

Very poor experience in this hotel experienced by myself and an elderly relative. Room in poor decorative state of repair, no soap or any other toiletries in the bathroom on check in. Parents drinking in the lobby with their kids in strollers and older kids running around at 11.30pm at night. Awoke at 3am by children crying in room next door, soundproofing non existent in rooms it would seem. Breakfast the next morning looked like a school camp, as the hotel has a package deal on at the moment which includes admission to Tayto Park in Ashbourne — aside from this the breakfast buffet was of a very poor standard. Upon checkout it was mentioned to the manager that the family rooms should be booked maybe together, and other guests put in a quieter area of the hotel? Greeted with a shrug. I very rarely leave negative reviews on Unilocal but I’d advise anyone looking at the cheap rates on offer in this establishment to tread with caution!
