Myself and my family spent 3 nights at the Abberley Court Apartments in Tallaght, Dublin
(28/10/10 - 31/10/10), and we were located in room 521.

This was a 3 bedroom apartment on the corner with a balcony which would be beautiful in the summer, but as we had a gale blowing outside we decided not to avail of using the balcony.

The apartment itself was immaculate and fantastically equipted with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave, iron, ironing board hairdryer etc etc.

I have to say that it was like a home from home, it was absolutely beautiful and very comfortable.

The apartments are in a fantastic location with the Luas available from Tallaght Shopping Centre across the road from the apartments/hotel which takes you directly into Dublin City centre or as far as the point and docklands if required, the only thing is that if you are looking for a hotel/apartment in the city centre then these are not for you, unless you dont mind travelling approx 20 mins on the red luas line.

If I have anything negative to say about these apartments it is that they can be extremely noisy at the weekends because there is a nightclub attached to the hotel, so if you are intending to stay at the hotel at the weekend it would be advisable to request a quiet room as far away from the nightclub as possible.

As long as you have a quiet room you will have no problems here.

Thumbs up all round

This place is a good choice if you want somewhere that offers good value,and you do not require (or want) to be in the centre of Dublin. It has good links to Heuston, Connelly and Busaras on the LUAS, and a direct bus service to Dublin Airport. City Centre is 35-40 minutes on LUAS.

Rooms are clean, comfortable and contain a small room fridge and safe which is a nice touch. Free WI-FI works well. Rooms facing on the Main Street are. a bit noisy at night, but if that bothers you, ask for one of the rooms facing the back, which are quieter. It can get a bit noisy when the disco is on at the weekends.

I recently had my 21st Birthday in the abberley court hotel, i have to say the syaff were brilliant and very helpful, Karen arranged everything to the detail. They catered for us in every way, when the party started Shane was there the whole night to help with anything we needed, then when we got into the nightclub Damien was at hand. I stayed in the hotel with my whole family, we booked over 25 rooms and some apartments. the next morning we all went down to breakfast which was lovely you can also get the breakfast to take away which was great. When enjoyed a lovely dinner in the restaurant and I used my advantage card, when booking in apply for one you get 10% off your meal and there are other offers too x

We stayed at the Abberley Court for two weeks in July/August. I had known the hotel from when I used to work locally years ago. I knew how far Tallaght is from the city center and also about road links to the countryside.

We'd stayed in a terrible hotel in Manchester previously and were a bit nervous about having booked a 2 week stay in a hotel we didnt really know with regards to the rooms. What a relief when we got into our room. It was nicely furnished and decorated with pine furniture and warm colours. A lovely, spacious room with a small fridge for our own drinks/snacks, large TV, DVD player, desk and a small table and chairs. Views over the Wicklow mountains included! We had planned to see Dublin which was easy thanks to the Luas tram service (although the journey does take a good half hour or so) and the M50 and therefore all the motorways are easily accessible from Tallaght. The free parking was in the new multistorey parking opposite where the top two levels are reserved for hotel guests. It was perfect for us as we had planned to do daytrips into Dublin aswell as the surrounding countryside.

The staff was helpful and friendly. We only had one meal in the hotel, a Sunday lunch. It was fine, not the best we've ever had but it was definitely ok.

The Square shopping center is only a couple of minutes walk away, plenty of places there to grab a quick snack or do some shopping. Also just around the corner of the hotel is a largish convenience store that sells bakery products and sandwiches made to order. Next to it is a Blockbuster (handy for the in room DVD player) and next to that is a laundry service. So basically all you could wish for on your door step. The Indian and Chinese restaurant next to the hotel are very good, fast food in the shopping center, sandwiches in the convenient store. For anything else you'd probably have to travel a little further.

All in all we had a fantastic 2 weeks and saw lots of amazing places! I would definitely stay at the Abberley Court again, especially when bringing a car and planning on exploring a little bit further than just Dublin.
