My recent stay at The Beacon Hotel in Sandyford was quite enjoyable, especially thanks to the attentive staff like Ciara, who helped with our check-in and gave us useful directions. The room was beautifully decorated and comfortable, but I found some small issues, such as the lack of certain amenities that were expected. The breakfast buffet had a good selection, although I felt it could be a bit more really good to match the hotel's overall quality.

The staff were generally friendly and helpful, with specific shoutouts to Ciara for excellent service and Eva in the restaurant. However, some interactions felt a bit dismissive.

Location

Situated near the Industrial Estate and close to the Beacon South Quarter, the location is convenient for accessing the M50 and for trips to the Dundrum shopping center. However, the immediate surroundings are not visually appealing.

The breakfast offered a wide variety including a full Irish breakfast and continental options. It was decent, though I expected it to be more really good considering the hotel's reputation.

My stay at The Beacon was a mixed bag. On one hand, my room was spacious, clean, and had a comfy bed. However, the service left much to be desired, and there were quite a few hiccups with the dining options that dampened the experience.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were spacious and really clean, plus the bed was super comfy. Just wish there was better heating; I felt a bit chilly during the night without any override thermostat to warm things up.

Service

6.0

The staff was generally friendly, but some seemed a bit disengaged, almost like they were going through the motions. I had high hopes based on past visits, but this time it felt off.

Location

8.0

For me, the location was perfect since it was close to where I needed to be. It made it easy to zip in and out for my work commitments, but I can see it being a drawback for tourists looking for city center access.

Dining

5.0

Dining was a letdown. The restaurant had switched from my favorite Thai to Urban Fox without any heads-up, and the meal options I wanted were unavailable. I felt the atmosphere could have been way better too.

Facilities

7.0

The common areas were spacious and nicely designed, but some amenities, like the breakfast availability, were just not convenient. I wish I could've had breakfast earlier than 8am since I had a tight schedule.

I had a mixed experience at The Beacon. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though I did notice some signs of wear and tear. The staff was generally friendly, but I encountered a stand-offish attitude during the check-in process, which was a bit disappointing. Dining options were good but pricey, with breakfast being the highlight of my stay.

Rooms

8.0

My room was spacious and well-decorated, though I noticed some wear and tear. The bathroom was luxurious with a lovely standalone bath. However, I felt the room could be warmer with only one radiator and no AC.

Service

While some staff were very friendly, particularly during breakfast, I experienced a frustrating check-in with a staff member who wasn’t very accommodating. Overall, the service varied but made an effort to assist.

Location

The hotel is in a good spot, with easy access to public transport like the Luas, making it convenient for getting into the city. It's also near the Wicklow Mountains, which is great for exploring.

I enjoyed the breakfast that was abundant and delicious. Unfortunately, I found the dinner options quite overpriced and service during that time wasn't the best – my poached eggs arrived overcooked.

The amenities were decent, with clean and spacious common areas. The bar had a lively atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day out, but I wish dining options were more reasonably priced.
