3.0 / 10.0

The hotel and staff were nice enough but the location was awful. I wrongly assumed that given its location and the beach photos on its website there would be beautiful views of the bay but didn’t do my homework properly. Check out Google maps but on satellite view to see the clutter of static caravans completely dominating the best part of Downings and covering the entire length of the bay right up to the boundary of the hotel car park ☹️

5.0 / 10.0

We stayed for one night and it happened to be the last night of the season. We were met with a friendly receptionist. We had dinner in the bar and it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in Ireland in the last 2 years! Great service, varied menu, lots of vegetarian options, absolutely delicious food. The room was spacious and a lovely comfortable bed. Breakfast was a buffet style served to you. Again this was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t use any of the leisure facilities to comment.

The hotel is not fancy, but very comfortable and clean and super well positioned just next to the beach. Our biggest surprise was their amazing (and really cheap) dinner, which we enjoyed a lot!

4.0 / 10.0

Nice hotel, great location, food good. Staff at breakfast were so unhappy looking and weren’t sure about what they were doing. Staff on desk and bar really friendly.

3.0 / 10.0

Excellent price for family room inclusive of breakfast. Dinner in the bar was 3 courses and a glass of wine for 17.50 euro. Food was lovely and was a nice atmosphere. We used the swimming pool and the soft play area that was free to guests which was a 2 minute drive from the hotel. That was the only negative as we didnt bring extra towels for the next day and also the pool didnt open until 12 noon. Right beside the beach and a short stroll to a lovely traditional pub. I would go back again

3.0 / 10.0

One night stay in Downings Bay Hotel. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great (Storm Ciara) but the hotel was lovely and warm, we watched rugby in the bar in the afternoon (drinks reasonably priced) and then had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Bar menu also available. Rooms very clean, have hairdryer, kettle, tea facilities etc, and bathroom with shower over bath. Would return to this hotel if I was in the area again. Good price (we paid 67 sterling for one night B&B). Cooked breakfast was excellent, with juice, toast, croissants, tea and coffee.

1.5 / 10.0

This hotel was okay, nothing special. The bed was so so, not terrible but not super comfortable either, the pillows are quite flat. Breakfast was a bit disappointing - all the fruit was out of a tin and nothing seemed very fresh. The hot food to order came out ok but it didnt have much flavor. It wasnt a bad stay overall, just was expecting better given the price and the food reviews.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved everything about Downings Bay Hotel, lovely friendly service, lovely clean room, lovely wee bar and delicious breakfast (best fry I've ever had) gorgeous location with the cleanest beach I've ever seen. There was a fault with the water temperature in our room which we didn't notice until quite late in the evening, this was quickly resolved by being given the use of a room opposite ours for a bath/shower. This is the only reason I scored down to 'pleasing' for 'condition and facilities' because otherwise everything was absolutely perfect and we hope to return.

8.0 / 10.0

I advised receptionist before gping for breakfast that I had slipped and fallen in the bath the previous night and hurt nyself. I nentioned my fall as i hurt myself and wanted to prevent a simolar occurrence with someone else. Receptionist said i should have asked for a bath mat.

10.0 / 10.0

Outstanding hospitality, friendly ,welcoming and efficient staff at this hotel. Homely atmosphere yet with all mod cons and spotlessly clean .Room was very spacious with good bed but warm and comfortable .Food was excellent , great entertainment ,and fantastic seaside location . My room had the more traditional shower in the bath , no shaving point and smaller tv, but these are only minor points considering all the positives . My stay was nice and peaceful in November but may be busier in peak season .Very little traffic noise etc and would definitely be my first choice if visiting the area again, and would recommend highly.

Staff were excellent, couldnt do enough for us, always offerings snacks or extra food for my toddler, receptionist gave us early check in as the room was available which was great as my son needed a nap. an outstanding beach is 5 mins walk away, only fault i have is that the pool isnt on site and doesnt open til 12 noon. However it does say this on their website so i was aware before booking.

Couldn’t adjust or turn off heat. Called desk around 9:30 pm. No answer. Waited ten minutes or so, called again. No answer. We’re roasting like a sausage. I got dressed, walked down, no one is at the desk. The bar maid says the phone is supposed to be transferred to the bar because no one is on the desk overnight! The phone wasn’t transferred over so no one answered. No one there to fix the heat, so it was just turned off remotely.The electricity adapter in the bathroom didn’t work either.The bar food and the breakfast were both good. Nice people, just hamstrung by bad practices.
