We stayed here recently for a weekend break. We read the reviews here first and didn't really know what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised as it was one of the most enjoyable breaks we've had in Ireland. We learned that the hotel has just received a full refurbishment and it shows. A warm and friendly ambiance throughout the hotel. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms were modern and very clean. We ate in one of their two restaurants, The Bistro. Fine dining at exceptional value! Great experience. We had a drink in their bar afterwards and the locals were so welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was delicious with a vast menu to cater for all. The hotel is situated in the heart of Enniskerry village which is a picturesque old Irish village. Plenty of amazing walks along the river banks. Also very close to Glendalough and The Sugar Loaf mountain. The value was exceptional here. We highly recommend this hotel for a stay.

We ate at the restuarnet on saturday 9th october. U might need to book as it is a small enough room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Decor a bit old fashoned but food very good quality and cooked fresh as there was a nice wait between courses. Good value for money. Only complaint was that the room was to hot

Booked a double room on a Saturday night end of September.

The pub hotel is located in a very central position in Enniskerry, overlooking the village square. There’s no arguing that it is one of the most quinte essential village pub hotels I’ve ever stayed in (and I’ve stayed in a few!), and the village is very pretty. There’s a nice pub area (inside/outside seating) and a stylish bistro towards the back. The restaurant has quite an extensive menu and the quality is good. The hotel has typical country style furnishings. Its also quite obvious that this is the favoured pub/restaurant for the locals and the weekends can get busy and noisy, especially if a live band is playing. The hotel has a large car park round the side.

The room itself was fairly basic, but it was relatively large and had an ensuite bathroom. Unfortunately, because it was on a weekend, it was very noisy and we didn't get to sleep till 1 in the morning. The room was positioned above the kitchen (staff had their radio on loud and we could hear it through the floor boards) and it was also just at the top of the main stairs and we could hear the live music. Admittedly, we should have joined the party, but having no sleep the night before, we really just needed a decent sleep, which we didn't get till very late. If you are staying here, I recommend asking for a room at the back of the hotel. If the room was quiet, then it would have been very good value for such a popular area of Ireland.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when I had a flat battery to my hire car the next morning! They went out of their way to try and get a mechanic to help jump start my car. Overall, this is a good hotel, but on weekends ask for a quiet room at reception.

Small hotel / b&b, looks like a nice pub from the outside. The dining area / bar was very funky with modern furniture and there was a great live Irish band one night. The bar is expensive though (E6 for a pint of Guiness, which is about a Euro more than the bar in the Ritz Carlton nearby). We paid E80 per night for a double room with breakfast. The room was a bit shabby with most of the lightbulbs missing / not working, so getting dressed involved leaving the curtains wide open, within full view of the car park (luckily we are not shy). The bathroom was adequate (but again poorly lit) with a view onto a building site / tip. The breakfast is served until 12, which is a good thing if you plan on sampling the local Guiness, (which is excellent by the way). The first day, the breakfast was very rubbery (we had full Irish) and seemed as though it had been reheated several times. I think this was because we ate late (11.45am). Other days, breakfast was much better, when we ate earlier, around 10am.
The whole place looked like it was in the middle of a refurbishment with wires hanging out of walls etc, and the pool table was sidelined. The rooms were clean however and the bed comfortable. The location is perfect right in the centre of Enniskerry with a bus stop over the road which can take you to into Dublin centre (about 1 hour travelling time). We were looking for a cheaper alternative to the Ritz Carlton and this place is quite satisfactory. The best thing about hotel is the staff who were extremely helpful and welcoming at all times. They even gave us a couple of lifts around the village to save us getting taxis. Thank you so much staff, you are superstars! There were a lot of American tourists here (not surprising as there is a huge "stars and stripes" flag hanging outside the hotel, next to an equal sized Irish tricolour. On the whole an enjoyable stay, marred by the fact the hotel was in the middle of a refurb and we weren't informed of this when booking. There was no price reduction either.
Good points: Staff friendliness and helpfulness, good location, clean, good bar, cheap price for rooms, free WiFi in the bar / dining room
Bad points: Expensive bar, was in the middle of refurbishment, is quite a trek to the Ritz Carlton (if you are attending a wedding there, a good 30 to 40 min uphill trek). Same for location of ATM, however in the opposite direction to the Ritz.. WiFi only available in the bar / dining area, not in the rooms.
On the whole I would probably stay here again if visiting Enniskerry.
