So, remember my previous story about Gabriella of the Louis Fitzgerald hotel, aka the night manager? Well, let me tell you about our room experience.
First off, the room was really neat, like, super tidy. The bed was nicely made, and there were plenty of closets to keep our stuff organized. I specifically asked for a room without any funky smells, and they totally delivered. It was clean and airy, just how we like it.
They had all the essentials covered: hair dryers, soap, towels, you name it. Plus, they kept a tea stand fully stocked, which was a lifesaver for a tea lover like me. Oh, and there were even biscuits and milk – talk about hospitality!
Now, onto the entertainment – the TV was pretty decent, with YouTube and other channels to keep us entertained. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. And the rug? Not a whiff of funkiness there, just a nice, cozy rug that tied the room together.
I also appreciated the curtains – clean, no stains, and they matched the room perfectly. The lighting was great too, with a mix of white and yellow to suit everyone's tastes.
But here's where things get a bit iffy – the bathroom. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and all, but the shower setup was a bit... Awkward. You practically had to do acrobatics just to get a decent shower because the shower head was fixed in place. It was not the type of shower you can move around, you have to stand in one place and turn around to shower your whole body. The curtain had a couple of black stains, but nothing too major.
Oh, and get this – I think someone might've snooped around my laptop. When we got back to the room, we found the cleaner's earpods charging with my friend's charger. She came back for them later, but it left me feeling a bit uneasy about my laptop.
This hotel is not located in the heart of the city center, we had to pay about 30-45 euros for a taxi to get into the city center to attend church on Sunday. They have breakfast service.
Overall, not a bad stay, but definitely room for improvement, especially in the bathroom. Ever stayed Louis Fitzgerald hotel in Dublin? Let me know what you think!
I like the concept of this master switch that controls the entire light in the room.

Simple room but nice!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, nothing over the top.
DeleteTo be honest, I'm not sure I like this hotel. It seems to be lacking atmosphere? Its lobby gives off a vibe of a sterile and boring environment. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteFixed shower heads are one of my biggest pet peeves! Like, seriously, what's even the point of having this thing if you can't move it around? Agh.
It sounds like the hotel might not be hitting the mark for you in terms of ambiance and functionality. Sterile environments and fixed shower heads can definitely be a downside for some travelers. Perhaps it's worth considering other options that better suit your preferences. After all, you deserve a stay that feels just right for you!
DeleteI also consider the courtains when I go to a hotel especially when they stand before a balcony with nice view. The room has everything needed but what impressed me most is the very well furnished tea recreation area.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that the hotel has all the essentials, and the tea recreation area sounds like a nice touch! Having a cozy space to relax and enjoy a cup of tea can really enhance the overall experience. As for the curtains, they can definitely make a difference, especially when it comes to enjoying a beautiful view from the balcony. It's all about those little details that can elevate your stay, right?
DeleteI agree with Taita that the hotel seems to be lacking in atmosphere. Still, I'm sure it was adequate enough for just a couple of nights. I'm hearing you on the shower issue, though! xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, sometimes a hotel may lack that special atmosphere we crave, but it can still serve its purpose for a short stay. And yes, fixed showers can be quite frustrating! Sending you lots of hugs and kisses! xxx
