had gr8 time, everything in order, bar menu might include options for kids

I had an early morning appointment at one of the embassies on the Merrion Road. Google showed me that Tara Towers would be the closest suited to my needs. I also got a brilliant deal from Roomex.com at 90 EUR per room per night with breakfast. It was the better deal than any other B&Bs or 3 star hotels on the Embassy belt as far as I could see. I arrived the previous day and was able to locate the hotel without a problem. It's multi storeyed structure is easily visible from the Merrion Road. I was relieved discover that the hotel had a dedicated gated car parking a few metres away from the hotel. The lobby appeared neat and the neatly laid out restaurant was visible from the reception desk. I was granted the keys (its one of those card like looked like punch cards) to a Executive room, only to discover that I could not open the door to my room. A trip down to the reception and a 5-10 minute wait later, I was transferred to another room where the keys worked. The hotel, I could tell, was dated. But that didn't make it any less pleasant. The room was large and clean, and the bed was comfortable. All electricals worked just fine. In short, I really had nothing to complain about given that I was here just for a night's stay. I took dinner at the restaurant in house. The food was quite good and the service exemplary. It was a nice way to relax just after a long drive. The restaurant closes at 9.30pm but there's a pub, on the ground floor of the hotel, that remains open until late. I was told there is live entertainment but I guess it was quiet enough since I didn't hear thing when I went to sleep at night. Traveling into Dublin from the hotel is easy. A Dublin Bus stop is available right in front of the hotel. In summary, if you are on a short business visit or intend to spend most of your time outside the hotel or looking for a decent place to sleep, this hotel is good for you.

Absolutely perfect. Very quick, efficient and smiling receptionist greeted us. Room was superb - think we were actually upgraded as we got an 'Executive Suite'. Had dinner in hotel on the night - great value for money. Breakfast on the morning - everything you needed was there. Overall a very pleasant stay and would definately return. More so, would definately book through Roomex - as we spoke to a couple who had only booked that week and their room was approximately 70.00 euros more than ours.

Three couples stayed at the Tara Towers. All six were totally impressed with the hotel which served a fantastic "help yourself" breakfast and all at such a reasonable price. Very stylish reception area. Spotlessly clean with very friendly staff on reception.

We generally felt satisfied with our stay in this hotel. However The appearance of the hotel was below adverage and really needs to be updated. The hotel is also a bit of a walk to the RDS. Suitable if you just want to lay you head down. Easy to get a taxi/bus from outside of the hotel.

Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff and a satisfactory breakfast. Nothing spectacular here but a good choice for the price.

Hotel was ok if very basic - double bed was extremely small, towels were very small and poor quality and the bathroom could do with renovation. The tiles had mildew in the grouting and scum floated back up the overflow when some water went down. There was no room service and the bar sancks on offer in the chiller cabinet were very uninteresting and elderly. All in all ok but could benefit from refurbishment

Nice friendly place plenty of parking residents lounge which serves you late drinks rooms are large a bit old fashioned

We enjoyed our stay overall. The rooms were clean and had everthing we needed. The beds were really comfortable. One thing that did bother us a bit was the room was at the front of the hotel and the lights lighting the hotel front shone into the room. Although the curtains were very think the light was so strong it lighted up the edges of the window and it didn't help with getting off to sleep. (We live in the country and are use to it being pitch black. We had dinner in the restaurant. The retaurant and lounges we very clean and the service was excellent. The food was suprisingly good, I recommend the Mussels, Lemon Sole and Profiteroles. We had breakfast in the room and it arrived on time. For what we were paying it was fine but my only suggestion would be that the management looked at quality rather than quantity but that's just my opinion. The hotel offers free parking and we left our car there while we attended on appointment in town. Overall the staff were all friendly and professional and I would stay there again if the need arouse. For a three star hotel it was very good and I have stayed in a lot worse 4 Star. Booking through Roomex was very easy and straight forward and gave the best price(By far)we could find on the internet and other booking agents. We will be using Roomex again

very pleasant, room was lovely, bed comfy, meal very good, breakfast very good, good room service and nice staff, room was a little too warm though but i would recommend..

Room was nice but a pity they did let us know there would be a christmas party on till 2.30 am in the basement benath our room . Hard to get a good nights sleep with such a racket going on at full blast .

fantastic easy and affordable

An elegant if slightly shabby hotel with nice big comfy rooms and the beds were really comfy too. Breakfast was yummy and staff were friendly. No complaints from me!

A very enjoyable stay - no complaints.

No problems all was nice as before when i stayed.
