Dubh in Newbridge

31/03/2025: Review: Stayed at the Hotel on 30/03/25 First Impressions: The hotel is in a good location on the main road into Newbridge. Hotel Facilities: The hotel has some very nice seating areas both inside and outside, with a good-sized bar area and a popular restaurant. The communal areas are well-maintained, and the outdoor seating areas make good use of the sunny spots. Gym: The gym closes a bit early for late travelers, which was inconvenient as it would have been nice to use. However, it looked like a good facility. Reception: The welcome at reception was a little cold and efficient. Room: I was allocated room 130, which was a bit of a letdown. The room was tired and in need of some love and attention, with lots of damage in areas around the room and bathroom. The bathroom was dated and could do with an update and tidy-up. The view outside the window was onto a path, which felt a bit unprivate. Bed and Sleep Experience: The bed was comfortable, and the sleep experience was good once the curtains were drawn. Amenities: There were no tea facilities in the room, which was very surprising. Breakfast: I had an early start and went for the first sitting at 7 am. I had a standard Irish fry, but unfortunately, all the products were cold. It took some time for someone to come out, and I had to ask for a pot of coffee as there were no facilities or coffee machines to help yourself. When the coffee came, it was nice, no complaints. The continental selection was good with plenty to choose from.
