Certainly a million miles from the luxury advertised on their website. Looks like you got shunted to the stag party wing rather that the woman-in-bath-with-candles wing.

Only stayed there once, only gripe I had was half the tv channels didn’t work and neither the wired or wireless internet worked. after paying for an internet card there I ended up having to use internet in the lobby.

It’s in Fleet street?? what did you expect? it is a suburb of the earliest of the many tax dodges introduced by Charlie Haughey…..

Stayed there before. Room needed a paint, new carpet and a good hoovering.

I’ve only ever seen a larger than single bed NOT made from two singles, and that was in Fitzpatrick’s Hotel in Chicago.

I’m fairly sure that every other hotel we’ve stayed in has had a bed made up from two singles.

Bet you were glad to get home?

The problem is the number of hotels that were thrown up around the country for tax breaks. They were fine when the economy was booming and profits were being made but now times are tight and hotels can no longer get enough custom to stay in business. Standards across the whole industry have dropped.

I stayed in one major new hotel (I wont name it for obvious reasons) down in Waterford that didnt have water in the bathrooms for a couple of hours each morning. No taps, showers or toilet. When I rang the desk to complain the lady who answered said “Of course, no problem I’ll send someone out to fix that now” as if the water gets turned on and off regularly.

Rip-off Ireland at its best. You should try the Dylan (off Baggott Street). I have stayed there twice and the service and rooms are excellent. I think it is in around the same price as the Morgan.

I have always thought the Morgan looked top-class (due to the trendy bar downstairs). Bubble burst now seeing your photos.

I have stayed in the Beacon (sister hotel) in Sandyford and that was excellent.
