Reviews for Dinn Rí Hotel
Review 1:I went with my friend. I booked what I thought was a double room, turned out there was only a double bed and single bed in the room, and the single bed was at a different angle to the double. Also, a room in a hotel with a nightclub that goes on until 2:30am and then when crowds spill out on to the streets it makes it hard to sleep. However if you were younger and enjoyed the nightclub (which is free of charge once you are resident in the hotel, then you would not notice the noise as you would be involved in all of the fun.
Review 2:The Dinn Ri Hotel, is in an excellent central location in Carlow town, you have all of the shops and pubs within a few feet away from your hotel room. The Dinn Ri hotel itself has Brooks Bistro & Café which is lovely and another restaurant and bar & nightclub in the hotel.
Review 3:Perfect location right in the middle of town. The room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel had alot of facilities available. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were given free tickets to the nightclub which was nice. There was a bit of noise at night from the nightclub which is expected but it wasn't too loud.
Review 4:No soundproofing what so ever from nightclub which was said to us, but also from people in the hallways. After nightclub there were people shouting and fighting for ages outside the window
Review 5:The staff were really friendly and nice
Review 6:Was provided with complimentary ticket to the nite club due to being a resident , doorman was undecided if he would accept it. Took approximately 5 minutes to finally radio reception to get all clear, all the while non-residents were waved through Very noisy rooms, although there are earplugs provided
Review 7:Very friendly reception staff and some door staff
Review 8:Night club noises but to be expected
Review 9:Went with friends everything right at hotel free entry to nightclub very clean and reasonably provided for triple room excellent value for money
Review 10:Noise from nightclub, charged more for the room on the night the nightclub was open. The bed might as well been in the middle of the dance floor. Could not sleep. Very tired the next day, so disappointing!!! Also the staff in reception checked someone else into my room!! Was on the bed relaxing when two people came into my room trying to convince me I was in the wrong room!!! So bad on every possible level, a tent would have been better!!!!
Review 11:Nothing
Review 12:The noise from the night club was loud, but despite that I eventually managed to sleep only to be woken by the fire alarm going off at 2:30 in the morning. Also there was a lack of hot warm in the shower the next morning. Would probably look for alternative accommodation next time I'm in Carlow.
Review 13:Night club open to 2pm on Sunday night - although, I must admit I did not hear any noise with my ear plugs in and the staff did tell me about this, provide the ear plugs and give me free entry (if I wanted it).
Review 14:Comfortable bed & friendly staff.
Review 15:Stayed on night when nightclub was open! Loud music vibrating until 2am. Not conducive to business travellers.

Review 25:.
Review 26:The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location of the hotel right in the centre of town is excellent. There is a nightclub in the hotel - which guests get free entry to - and we were warned in advance about the noise from it which goes on until 2.30am. As it happened, it didn't bother us at all although if you were a light sleeper it might

Review 41:The warm welcome at reception when we arrived & the care we recieved when we returned to the hotel bar when we got back from the wedding we attended.
