Great hotel with high standards in all areas. Excellent food (although we had to wait a little while sometimes for our evening meal to arrive) and polite service made my stay one to remember. The rooms are large and well appointed and if you're lucky enough to get a view of Dun Laoghaire harbour it will make any visit a... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Royal Marine for three nights and we had a lovely time of it. The room was well turned out and service was very good. It has been many years since I can honestly say that the Royal Marine was worth staying in but its time has once again come. We had one... more

We recently stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere quiet, with leisure facilities and yet also close to the shops etc. Not only did this hotel match these criteria but surpassed our expectations.

The truble was we got a room with a very small window, overlooking an unsightly parking lot. We called the reception and we've been told that nothing else... more

The Hotel itself is beautiful. Lovely reception area. Friendly reception staff. On checking, we were given an upgrade to a seaview, which was great.....we could watch all... more

We stayed at the Royal Marine for two nights during the last part of our 15 day vacation. This hotel was top notch and we were even given a free upgrade to the Club floor. It is right on the seaport and the scenery was lovely. We were able to shop, dine, walk the pier, and enjoy the wonderful facilities... more
