We arrived early and they let us in an upgraded room that was ready. We appreciated the fan that was in the room since it was a little bit too warm for us to sleep well.

Perfection

I just love staying in the Silken Thomas, it has evertything and more than would be expected for the price range ! From checking in to checking out its top class. Special mention of Beata the Accommodation Manager, she makes everyone so well and keep such high standards, she is a wonderful asset to the Silken Thomas. I love staying there and often use it as a base, even for Dublin. I look forward to returning. The range of food is always great with very fast service.

The Silken Thomas

The hotel is excellent and i have used it many times in the past and will continue to do so in the future. The only thing that caused me a bit of confusion was on my credit card statement it was listed as cloudbed and no mention of the hotel name which caused a slight issue trying to find out what the payment was for..
