Just arrived home after a long weekend in Dublin which we spent at the Tallaght Cross Hotel. Only opened for 3 months, the hotel is rated as a 3 star, however this is only because their bathrooms are apparently too small to make 4 or more stars! however the bathroom was plenty big enough for us and the rest of the room is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The restaurant food is pleasant and the V bar a great place to relax early evening. The hotel is well situated for the Luas line and has it's own car park should you bring a car - just remember to get your ticket validated by reception to lower the car park rates! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful; particularly the Irish girls, and especially Alison. Alison couldn't do enough to help us, offering advice on days out, restaurants to eat in and even just spending a few minutes having a friendly chat and giggle on our way in/out of the hotel, she brightened our stay and made us very welcome. The only downside to our stay was the number of eastern european staff who weren't really as friendly as the irish staff and came across a little distant/uninterested at times, possibly because their english wasn't very good(?). Over all though we had a fabulous time, made all the better by the traditional friendly irish welcome. We'd recommend this hotel, it certainly is a hidden gem given it's rating and prices.

Nice hotel - about half an hour from the center of Dublin if you take the Luas (red line) to Tallaght and only 1 minute walk from the last stop. Not very convenient if you are exploring the centre of Dublin's nightlife (the last luas is 12:30) and at the moment the outside is a bit of a builders yard but it is still the best hotel in Tallaght. Good staff, excellent rooms and the restaurant
is pretty good too.

Beautiful new hotel,great service and staff. Had a great time. Will be back!!!!

Spent the weekend at the hotel, little or no accommodation available central Dublin,took a chance on Tallaght.The hotel was wonderful 3 weeks since opening and everything was pristine and gleaming. It would be difficult to criticize any single aspect of its presentation. Wonderfully friendly.

Location ? well it is 45 mins outside Dublin. The new Luas tram system is 150 metres away so there is no problem in being whisked into the centre of Dublin. The huge shopping complex called the Square is a mere 200 metres away.Plenty of large stores and eating places! Don't look for a local pub there aint any within comfortable walking distance. Grumpy,s bar which is quite good is possibly a 15 minute walk away.

I must mention hotel staff really helpful, especially Alison the reservation manager,quite a gem
