“A very pleasant stay”
+I booked this hotel on Trivago but when I arrived Trivago had cancelled my booking without my knowledge or permission. They did however refund me my money. The owner gave me a reasonable deal in order not to disappoint me. The hotel is very cosy and homely and the staff were wonderful. The breakfasts were first class. My room for a double was very small and had some of the basics missing. There was no wardrobe, no hangers, no chest of drawers, no ironing board, iron or fridge, all of which I expect in a 4 star hotel. However, the owner did supply some hangers later when I brought up the subject. There were pegs sticking out of the wall about 6 feet from the ground and that is where I was supposed to hang my clothes. She left a stool so that I could reach the pegs. I would never sleep in a room with clothes hanging around as it would look like bed-sit land. Many of the reviews state how spacious the rooms in this hotel were but mine certainly was not. However, despite the obvious drawbacks, I enjoyed my stay very much. The food was very good, the location was excellent and the room was very comfortable. However, I would never pay the 295 Euros the owner claimed this room usually cos
+Lovely bar food Friendly staff
+Very comfortable and clean room with a good breakfast. However the TV in the room didn't work.

“Heavenly at Haddington House”
+We love it here and were so looking forward to a return visit. The rooms at the front are close to completion so our room was at the back. It was lovely, spacious and beautifully decorated, with lots of gorgeous bits and bobs. Very thoughtful additions such as straw beach bag for when it’s hot and a hot water bottle when a little cooler, obviously there is a charge if you ‘forget’ to leave them in the room on departure. The weather was kind to us so we were able to sit outside for a drink, the bar area is also fabulous, stunning decor and a very quaffable selection of cocktails. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was fabulous, there is a separate review. We did have an issue at breakfast however it was professionally dealt with by Paula on reception. Our feedback was constructively received. Another wonderful stay, we have reluctantly reduced our rating from ‘excellent’ to ‘very good’ in relation to our breakfast experience. We absolutely will return and hopefully will be able to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms.
+Excellent stay, very comfortable, spacious and clean rooms and hotel all round with a very friendly and helpful welcome. Restaurant is a great choice for good quality food and big portion sizes. Outdoor bar and seating area with great views is a bonus and a perfect place for relaxing on a sunny day. Great transport links to Dublin and further south with the DART only a 5 min walk away. Safe and welcoming location.
+Didn’t like the face that check in was 3:00 and wanted some food at 3:30 but was told the kitchen was closed to prepare for the evening service. Also no room service which I found very odd

“Faultless again.”
+Yet another 5 star experience in the HH. Still punching far above its weight. Our room might not have had a sea view but it had everything thing else to make our 3 nights memorable. Like the rest of the hotel it had style, comfort and cleanliness. Best breakfasts in Dublin. Reception staff could give lessons in friendliness and helpfulness. Could not have been nicer. (loved the muted background jazz music in parlour area) We love the seafront walks all within a minute from the hotel. Definitely one of our go-to hotels on East Coast. With ongoing improvements we can't wait to see finished results. 4 stars coming. J&J👍
+Booked this hotel as it was near where we were attending a family christening. Good communication from the hotel. But, they are undergoing refurbishment to all the sea view rooms, it didn't really detract from our stay though. The hotel does look dated and tatty from the outside but once inside it's very nice. Good friendly attentive staff. Would imagine that when it's refurb is finished it'll be a jewel along the seafront in Dun Laoghaire.
+Positives Haddington House is situated in an excellent location with wonderful views from the front of the hotel. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The terrace seating area is well-organised and a lovely place to sit for a drink or a meal. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Wifi was fine and connection was straightforward. Less than positive It would have been nice to know before we booked that renovations to the hotel were happening during our day. As it was, we could not have a room with a view over the bay, and the workmen started hammering at 8am on our first morning. The TV was tiny and fixed high up in the corner of the room and could not be seen clearly. Also, the TV reception was via aerial and was intermittent and very poor with limited options for channels. I tried to use the room telephone to contact Reception to ask for a fan, but it did not work so I went down to the front desk. There was no lock on the bathroom door. The wardrobe was old and not fit for purpose eg the bottom shelf fell off because it did not have four props to hold it in place, and the rail for hanging clothes was from back to front instead of from side to side.

“🌟 A Memorable Birthday Dinner at The Haddington** 🌟”
+We had the most wonderful evening dining at the Haddington Hotel’s outdoor restaurant last night. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The service was top class, warm and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. A special thank you to the lovely manager (who recently returned from her Erasmus in Spain, apologies for not remembering your name!). She went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday truly special. Her thoughtful touches and genuine care made all the difference! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a stunning setting. We’ll definitely be back!
