Things to do in Province of Leinster
1. Zanzibar Locke
Overall Ratings
5 based on 229 reviews
Central Dublin location. Tick. Riverside views. Tick. The option to head out to the bars, restaurants and clubs of Temple Bar, or cook dinner in your room. Tick. Made up of four Georgian townhouses, this ex-nightclub has been given a new lease of life, Locke style. Settle into your spacious apartment. Soak up the carefully curated art, practice your downward dog in the courtyard and order pre-dinner cocktails in the mezzanine bar. Or step outside, cross the Ha’penny bridge and dance the night away. All of Dublin is on your doorstep. Feel free.
Clean, comfortable modern stay
Reviewed By stephb3448The apartment was perfect for our first stop in Dublin. Great location, convenient to City Center and close to bus and train stations for reaching tourist locations outside of the city. The small kitchen was perfect for making quick meals. The wifi was fast and connecting to ChromeCast in the TV was very easy. We felt at home right away. There was construction noise across the street from our room starting early in the morning, but not unreasonable for staying in a city. We were able to sleep through it after arriving at 0630. My only nitpick is that mattress was a bit firm for my liking. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again, highly recommend!

Great hotel, very new and clean!
Reviewed By debp10024This hotel is awesome. I arrived on an overnight flight from New York and my room was ready several hours before check-in. In fact, the key was already cut and waiting for me! They had coffee, wine, and tea available. No formal front desk either. Felt super modern. The room was incredibly clean which is so nice these days when that’s not always the case. Staff was friendly. The next morning, the breakfast was plentiful. The ambiance was so pleasant. My colleague and I were able to have a working breakfast without disruption. It’s a great hotel. I’d definitely recommend it.

Water problems
Reviewed By marky0511Lots of hot water but couldn't get it to the shower on the 2nd floor. Used bath which then dumped a lot of brown scum out of the pipework into the bath. Bathroom radiator locked onto full blast heating on a mild day, such that the whole place was way too hot. Lots of messages received after booking but couldn't find the relevant new message behind all the old ones that are shown first in the new mail.

A small, suffocating room
Reviewed By JaydeepChipalkattiI had a single room on the ground floor of the hotel. The room was far too small (even by European standards), and in fact essentially like an American prison cell (which I have seen in documentaries). The air circulation in the room was very poor, leading to an oppressive stale atmosphere. I would not recommend this place unless you have an excessively pronounced taste for spartan living.
5. Clone Country House
Overall Ratings
4 based on 52 reviews
Close to mountains, beaches, rivers & lakes of County Wicklow. Magnificent Georgian family home pleasantly positioned in Wicklow’s Aughrim Hills within 60 km of County Dublin. You’ll love Clone House as it sits on approx 4 acres of manicured gardens, lawns, shrubs and is a delightfully restored heritage house. Superb views of surrounding. We look forward to providing a first-rate experience.
Lovely place
Reviewed By Lauratucker2We had two lovely rooms and the house is really pretty and the gardens are so well kept. I made bit of a mistake in not reading the location or dining amenities correctly as we d been driving all day the point was to go somewhere that we coukd just walk to a restaurant and have a drink also. So had to drive back into aughrim which was a, pain They do though thoughtfully leave corkscrew and wine glasses in the room which is what we did. But some sort of dining and drinks would make this perfect. The big airdale dog welcoming you is a big softy and if you want dog freindly but nice place it's perfect. It was, spotless. Only small fault I was a bit cold in my room.
6. The Old Borough Hotel Wetherspoon

Great place to stay near Dublin airport
Reviewed By 359tdWe stayed in room 111 for one night. We picked it since it’s only 10 min car ride from the Dublin airport. Check-in threw us off since the reception was a small corner at the bar. We would never had found it if the security guard didn’t show us. Room was lovely with a view towards the court yard. Wifi was superb. There were many restaurants in the area to eat too. Walking to the castle took 5 min. We also tried the breakfast in the morning. It was cheap and service was fast. Staff were friendly and even called us a taxi cab for our ride to the airport. Great place to stay if you need to get to the airport quickly without staying too close to the airport and still able to walk around Swords for sightseeing and restaurants.

9. Avalon House Hotel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 119 reviews
Idyllically located in the picturesque Irish countryside, just a short drive from Kilkenny City, Avalon House Hotel is a historic manor dating back to the 19th century which has been delicately and beautifully restored. Featuring both old and new world influences, this wonderful and unique food haven is a fabulous option for a quiet getaway or a more elaborate celebration. Our superb 30 bedroom sanctuary contains a host of luxurious outlets from the relaxing Lark’s Bar, the gracious splendour of our casual fine dining Lil's restaurant right through to the stunning backdrop of our elegant 250 capacity ballroom. Our ethos is simple. We provide exquisite food in an elegant setting by our vastly experienced team ensuring your visit will be memorable forever. The eternally cosy, stove-lit, Lark’s bar enjoys a very strong lunch and supper trade. This comfy backdrop is awash with decorative trinkets and unique features and is a huge hit with both our local patrons and in-house guests. Both can often be seen mingling throughout the evening especially on Friday nights when we have live music. Our boutique-style lends itself ideally to weddings and we are delighted to present both Á La Carte offerings & 3 enticing package options. We encourage all our wedding couples to impose their individuality on their magical day so we have provided opportunities to tailor a bespoke menu should you wish. The jewel in the crown of Avalon House Hotel is undoubtedly Lil’s Restaurant. Situated on the first floor with natural light flooding through the original windows and views of the neighbouring woodland. Lil's at Avalon House Hotel offers a tranquil area for our guests to relax and enjoy good food in good company.
A fantastic wedding venue
Reviewed By Brian MWe recently stayed at the Avalon House Hotel for a family wedding. What a fantastic place. The courtyard was perfect for a sunny drinks reception and the main function room had plenty of glitz and glamour. The staff were attentive, friendly and very welcoming. The food was fantastic, and the army of waiting staff did a fantastic job. We stayed in a beautiful room overlooking the courtyard. The hotel is decorated to a high standard, with excellent quality materials. Although a modern hotel it has the elegance and sophistication in keeping with the older parts of the main building and the history of the town itself. It is situated beside the fantastic Castlecomer Discovery Park, located just across a beautiful new pedestrian bridge, with lots of lovely walks. We were very impressed and will certainly be returning again as guests.
10. The Rooms at Bardons
Overall Ratings

Disappointing stay
Reviewed By DjaidjeNicely renovated set of rooms. But several issues for our stay. First, had to pay in advance by phone before arrival. No presence on site, you get your keys from safety boxes in front of the door. Then, you should avoid the area on Monday and Tuesday nights. The rooms are attached to the Bardons bar and grill, which has excellent rating on TA by the way. Unfortunately, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays until further notice. And no advance information given (traveler notice in the room even mentioning 7 days opening). And there is not a single restaurant open in the town. We had to drive 30 minutes to find a decent place for dinner. Lastly, the Black Room, definitely a nice decorated room, with a very good king bed. Is located just above a cheap kebab takeaway. And the oily smell is very persistent in the room. Definitely not possible for a long stay. Luckily, we had a short night only. All in all, extremely disappointed by our stay, given the previous ratings on TA.
