“Not the Hilton but the staff were excellent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

If you are looking for luxury you are in the wrong place. The hotel is very dated to say the least but once you get over the shock of how old fashioned it is you will love it .The staff are excellent and I think that is what is appealing about this hotel. Joe even gave me €20 of the bill. I hope they get around to upgrading because it really does need a lot of decorating but I know the building is very old so maybe it is quite difficult to make much of a difference. We loved it and we will be back. Thanks to the 2 ladies who looked after us for breakfast. We had 2 evening meals there and the food is lovely

“The Best Weekend Away in ages, Fab place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

We went here for the july bank holiday weekend, the rates were fantastic, we wer treated so well, got a gorgeous room with views of the sea, the staff in the hotel were so nice and accommodating, we made some great friends there :) the food in the restaurant was amazing especially the crab claws and the sauce they came in was to die for mmmmmmm! we had dinner there two night out of the 3, it was gorgeous and very reasonably priced!
The hotel is in a great spot right beside the harbour and only 2mins walk to many pubs restaurants and the beach which is just lovely! I used to come to dunmore as a child and the ocean hotel always stuck in my mind so i was dying to stay there, was much more than i expected!
the bar has a great atmosphere its always buzzing there was entertainment for the 3 nights we stayed was a great laugh!
I will definately be back very very soon :D missing it already
