The best restaurants

11/11/2025: I went to this café today and ordered a small mocha. While chatting with my colleague, another staff member (different from the one who took my order) called out “your mocha,” so I naturally went up and took it. A few moments later, the person who originally took my order came up to me and started speaking to me quite loudly, accusing me of taking a medium mocha instead. I tried to explain that I just took the drink when their colleague handed it out, but she continued to speak in an unpleasant tone and gave me angry looks — right in front of my colleague and her staff. I found that very unprofessional and unnecessary, especially since the difference was only €1 and it wasn’t even a mocha — it turned out to be a cappuccino. I wasn’t bothered about getting the wrong drink, mistakes happen, but the way the situation was handled and the attitude shown were completely unjustified. A little more courtesy and understanding would have gone a long way

I was a student here and everytime i used to enter the cafeteria they remembered my regular order and with a bright smile they served me. Thanks to the entire team for making my time in UCD great. Kudos. The small mocha will be missed.

02/12/2025: Large black hair in my salad dated back 4.10.25 - today being 2nd of December and still awaiting my refund as they came back to collect dish

02/10/2025: Absolutely terrible experience. First time ordering and for sure last time. Salmon with prawns has 2 prawns in it and one asparagus. Pasta with prawns has no prawns in it just a pasta. Brie cheese is not a brie cheese just pretending. Cost us more than 60e absolutely waste of money.

05/10/2024: Need to update their opening hours. Time wasted driving here for it to be closed.

31/08/2024: Such lovely service today. I came in today and was served by a young girl with curly brown hair, so gutted I didn’t get her name! She went above and beyond for my nut allergy, she ran me through the allergy menu and grabbed all the ingredients directly from the packet and not from the display to ensure no cross contamination could occur, even down to the spoon! my family loved all our ice creams, will definitely be back :)

27/05/2025: This place is closed don't use . they taken my money from the bank . website shows like is normal open but that not true

03/05/2025: I placed an order for collection at 18:53 but didn’t receive it until 19:20. By then, my original items were unavailable, and I had to accept substitutes. There’s no seating available on the premises, so I had to stand awkwardly in front of the reception, facing SuperValu shoppers. Unfortunately, the food itself was not impressive either. Overall, a disappointing experience.

12/08/2024: Everything needs a makeover. The pool area is full of mold, rust and other substances that do not belong there, the rooms look okay at first glance but are old and dirty if you take a closer look. Avoid looking behind the window shutters in room 15. A Disgusting mix of mold dirt, old wallpaper, insects and other disgusting things. The service in the bar was mediocre and slow the breakfast among the least convincing we have had in three weeks. Even 2 Star guesthouses managed to produce a better breakfast than this.

10/08/2024: To start off the stay, check in was very unprofessional. Check in is at 3pm and we arrived at 3.15pm and waited for 5 mins at reception in front of a sign that read "ring the bell for assistance" with no sign of any bell. There was clearly someone in the office behind with a child, and they didn't acknowledge us. A waitress came over and eventually checked us in. Why is the reception not attended by a receptionist at the time of check in? The whole place absolutely stinks of damp and mold, possibly because the ancient windows are jammed shut and do not appear to open. After 1 pint of Guinness, I asked for a second and was informed the bar had ran out of Guinness. Yes, ran out of Guinness... in Ireland. Very poor bar management. The mattress in room 1 was very uncomfortable. Again, the windows didn't open and the small room became very stuffy. The floors, particularly where breakfast is served, are extremely sticky to the point my flip flop got stuck to the floor as I was walking. It clearly never gets mopped. The breakfast was an absolute disaster. Breakfast starts at 8am, we booked for 9am. Almost every table was dirty and uncleared. There were no bowls for cereal. I asked for a pastry as they were on the breakfast menu, and was told there were none left. So within 1 hour every pastry in the hotel had been eaten. I asked for a cappuccino and was told that would be an extra charge. The breakfast menu has "creamy scrambled egg", however it is clearly microwaved in a massive bowl and chopped up with a knife. It's flavourless and the texture is absolutely disgusting. The place needs to be deep cleaned, aired out and painted. Also, why is nearly every picture on the walls crooked? It seems like nobody takes any pride in the appearance of the place. It's very poor value for money considering a 4 star hotel nearby was only 20 euro more expensive for the night.
