“Another Excellent Experience at theK Club”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

This is our fourth time to stay at the K Club and each time we have a very good experience. The staff are very good. From the car park where you are helped with parking and taking your luggage in, to checking in and getting settled in your room, you are looked after all the way.
Our room was spacious, overlooking the river liffey with all mod cons. The bathroom was amazing, piping hot water and under floor heating with a bath nearly large enough to swim in. Very relaxing.
This time we dined in the new Thai restaurant located in the Smurfit clubhouse. We really enjoyed the setting and the food. It
was a nice alternative to fine dining without having to leave the K Club.
We really enjoyed the tour of the wine cellars and we learnt a little more about wine. Next time we will take the tour of the house and see what else we can learn.
The following morning we enjoyed a relaxing walk on the grounds on the K club down by the liffey, following a hearthy breakfast.
We will be back again.

“Excellent but expensive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

It is expensive, you could possble find something similar, cheaper.

However, it is an excellent hotel. We went on a quite night and time of year, so that was more enjoyable.

The dinner was top class.

The spa area is a bit of a stroll through tunnels etc., pleasant walk though and it is very good and good to be included in the price, as you would expect

A walk on part of the gold course down to the river was very pleasant

“Old and musty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I just don't get what the big deal is about the K Club. Perhaps it's just not my style.. Too old, too musty, uncomfortable beds, needs to have the creature comforts added. I won't be back.

“A great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here on Saturday night with my girlfriend and we were impressed with the hotel. As soon as we parked are bags got brought into the reception and then straight up to the room. The room itself was very clean, large and very comfortable (wall paper a little old fashioned but hey that’s no big deal). We had an amazing view from the room out onto the golf course. The bathroom has a large with a shower and bath. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We ate in the Kwan Suk and would recommend it to anyone who likes Thai food. We went for a swim in the evening in the K-Spa and it’s also extremely clean and well looked after. Got lucky and had the whole swimming pool and jacuzzi to ourselves. On Sunday you get a large selection for breakfast and then a complimentary walk around the ground (can’t remember the guy’s name but he is very nice and funny) which is well worth it. Coming back for a wedding in August and can’t wait.

Room Tip: Bring a travel kettle if you want to make your own tea.

“Nice treat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed her for one night on a pigsback.com deal. I have used deals before for many different things and sometimes the owners/managers make me feel like I am less important than other customers. Did this did not happen here, I was made feel very welcome and staff couldn't do enough for us. We got a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe room as part of the deal and what a nice treat this was. I have stayed in many, many hotels over the years but this room was fun! A Christmas tree lit up for our arrival, a massive bathroom fit for a King, roughly 20 different size towels with the K Club logo, lovely toiletries and bottled water. Breakfast is also a great treat with an extensive menu to choose from. The Spa is gorgeous and if you dont fancy eating in the expensive river room I would recommend the club house - a free lift in the mini bus to save walking, lovely food and friendly service. I would definitely return for an anniversary or if the deal came available again. Must mention Gervaise the receptionist for her help in booking the room and her service when checking out.

Room Tip: Upgrade to a deluxe room if you can - worth it!
