Mars Pizza (Athboy Pizza) in Athboy

30/05/2026: This hotel boasts wonderful hospitality from its staff. While it's about an hour and a half bus ride from Dublin, it's highly recommended for those who enjoy the slight inconveniences of a small Irish town away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is in an older building, but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff, in particular, were all fantastic. Perhaps because we were a group of five Japanese, every staff member we encountered was attentive, asking if we were enjoying our stay, where we'd gone, and so on. They even informed us in advance that the hotel lacked an elevator, demonstrating their thoughtful consideration. The restaurant food was delicious, and breakfast was excellent. It's located on a busy street, so it can get noisy at night, but a taxi from Dublin costs around €100. This hotel offers a truly authentic Irish hospitality experience.
