BreakfastFriendly staff
Visited after rugby match in the Aviva.
Looking for something to eat.
Was informed that the kitchen was closed and there was a limited menu.
Had the worst meal I have ever been served in any hotel.
Having received the menu and paid 23 euros in advance, I went to the food service area.
It was obviously the breakfast service area with the labels for breakfast items still on the service dishes.
The food available looked like it had been cooked after breakfast.
Cold soggy burgers wedges chips chicken and curry.
How any hotel management or chief executive could have thought that this was an acceptable style of food to serve to their guests.
I was as embarrassed as a Dubliner to see numerous residents trying to eat something as there was nothing else available.
There were a lot of hotel employees wandering around with no one seemingly taking charge or rectifying the situation
One of the items was burger buns being burnt by a breakfast bed toaster.
A man in a suit said he would slow it down and did bring me a burger bun some 20 minutes later after I had sat down.
Do not consider this for a meal until this is rectified and full kitchen service is restored.
Food is amazing.
Ivestayed here a few times for work and never been disappointed.
The Steak has always been cooked perfectly which I would highly recommend.
The lamb shank is also brilliant, falls apart easily and is served boneless.
Prices are very reasonable too.
