I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. While the food was lovely, the room and plumbing issues left much to be desired. The service was not great either, making my stay quite frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless they address these concerns.
Rooms
5.0
The room was so small and hot that it felt like a heatwave indoors, particularly surprising given the stormy weather outside. I had specifically booked a double room, but instead got a single room with minimal amenities, like just one glass and one cup.
Service
5.0
The staff were unhelpful and dismissive regarding my concerns. It felt like they were more of a hassle than a help during my stay.
Location
6.0
The hotel was in a great spot for attending a local wedding, but unfortunately, the surrounding environment lacked proper upkeep.
Dining
5.0
The food was quite nice, but the dining service was disorganized and far from impressive.
Facilities

The facilities, especially the plumbing, were disappointing. The shower setup was awkward, which made personal hygiene cumbersome.

The hotel offers a quaint atmosphere with some charming decorations, but my experience was plagued by unpleasant odors and an uncomfortable room setup. While the staff showed some level of interest, it felt inconsistent, and the overall amenities left much to be desired. If you have high expectations, this might not be the place for you.
Rooms
5.0
The room I stayed in had a strong smell of cigarette smoke and was overcrowded with three beds, making it quite uncomfortable. It didn't match my expectations for the type of room I booked in advance.
Service
5.0
The initial reception was lacking, and while a later receptionist seemed interested, it shouldn't depend on who is at the desk. I didn't feel well looked after during my stay.
Location
6.0
The hotel is located a bit out of the way from Dublin, which isn't ideal if you're looking to explore the city. However, it is peaceful, which is nice for a restful stay.
Dining
5.0
I found the dining experience to be very average, with limited options and food that wasn't particularly appealing. Not much to recommend in terms of quality.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities seemed dated and not well-maintained. I encountered plumbing issues in the public restrooms, which detracted from the experience.

The hotel has friendly and hardworking staff who genuinely want to help, which did make our stay a bit more enjoyable. The location is quite convenient for getting around Dublin, but the rooms need some serious updating and aren't particularly comfortable due to the heat and noise from the nearby road. Overall, it feels a bit dated and not quite up to a three-star standard.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms were clean but basic; unfortunately, they really need updating. We struggled with the heat and had a noisy room facing the busy dual carriageway, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. There's also no air conditioning, so leaving the windows open wasn't an ideal solution.
Service
7.0
The staff were all friendly and did their best to assist us. They were quick to help with getting a taxi when ours failed to show up, though we did have a few hiccups with room service and cleanliness on a couple of days.
Location
8.0
The location is quite good for accessing various retail outlets and is not far from the city center, making it easy to explore Dublin. This definitely met my expectations.
Dining
5.0
While breakfast offered good value, the standard of the food wasn't great as some items were left sitting too long and overcooked. It was a bit disappointing to see some options run out before the service time was over.
Facilities
6.0
I didn't have the chance to use the spa or pool, but they are available. However, the overall facilities looked like they could use a bit of renovation too.

I had a pleasant stay at Lucan Spa Hotel, which is just a short drive from Dublin airport. The hotel offers decent value for money, especially for families. While the rooms were comfortable, the noise from the nearby motorway can be bothersome at times. Overall, the dining experience was quite good, particularly the Irish breakfast, making it a nice spot for a family getaway.
Rooms
7.0
The family room was compact yet adequate for our needs, and the beds were comfortable. However, being near the M4 motorway, noise was an issue, especially at night.
Service
9.0
The service we received, especially in the bistro area, was commendable. The staff went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable.
Location
7.0
The location is convenient for accessing the Dublin highways, but the proximity to the motorway means you should request a room facing the front if noise is a concern.
Dining
8.0
The meals at the hotel were of good quality, and I particularly enjoyed the Irish breakfast. They served us well during our stay.
Facilities

The hotel grounds were lovely, with a nearby wooded area suitable for walks. Parking was convenient and available on the premises.

My stay at this hotel left much to be desired. While the location was convenient for my work near Dublin, the overall experience was overshadowed by outdated rooms and facilities that definitely need an upgrade. The dining options were unexciting, though the breakfast was decent. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you're after a proper spa experience-the name is misleading.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms were small, outdated, and in need of an upgrade. The shower temperature fluctuated, making for an uncomfortable experience.
Service
7.0
Service was decent and helpful, particularly when they provided equipment to clear snow from my car, but nothing extraordinary.
Location

The hotel was conveniently located for my client visit, but the noise from the nearby motorway was quite disruptive.

Dining was nothing special; the bar menu was unexciting and the ambiance was lacking. Breakfast was traditional but not particularly memorable.

Facilities were quite limited with no real spa services as advertised, and the lift was barely operable.
