I live in the Dun Laoghaire area and have just hosted a conference with colleagues from several European countries. I stayed in the Royal Marine for 4 nights with the rest of the group and was absolutely delighted with it. The colleagues were all seriously impressed! The location is beautiful and couldn't be more convenient - near the sea, shops... more

Trip with our 10 month old son for 3 nights. Room was an excellent size with a huge bed! All clean and fresh. As a couple we have stayed in some lovely hotels, now with a 10 month old we did not want to compromise on the type of hotel we were used to. Made us feel very comfortable and... more

A great hotel next to the hotel, although we did not have a sea view it was a nice experience being so close and in close proximity to good walks etc. The hotel was great, lovely health club and swimming pool (caps are a must). Room well furnished and really nice, the bar in the hotel was very nice for... more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights to celebrate my husbands 40th and also our 1st wedding anniversary. I e-mailed the hotel prior to our stay to see if they could help me arrange a surprise birthday cake they couldn't have been more helpful and the cake was amazing!! The room we had was in the newer part of... more

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.

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 staff were very helpful and obliging and the hotel itself a wonderful combination of the old world with... more

Stayed for 2 nights (Fri and Sat). Great location, 5 minutes walk from DART which goes straight into Dublin centre and the Dun Laoghaire ferry terimal which goes to Hollyhead, Wales. Check in was slow as it was very busy inside reception. Parking available underground, make sure you get your parking pass clear by reception on check out so u... more

The Royal Marine is well and truly back to form again. After a number of years of avoiding the Marine on visits to South Dublin because of its decline, I was very pleasantly surprised at the refurb and found a great hotel back for the current day with a spa and fitness centre. We ended up staying for a week... more
