Egans House

Bed bugs

The location is great

My son was covered in bedbug bites

was very quiet and family atmosphere

Very difficult to find so far from city center

We had stayed at Egans House over the New Year 2009/2010 and found it very comfortable and with excellent facilities. This was the main reason for booking again. However, the facilities are now very poor, with everything that was previously free of charge now being an expensive extra- see below- and we shall not be returning. It's a shame, we liked it very much before.

Everything that was previously included in the room price- parking, breakfast, wi-fi and tea and coffee making facilities- is now a chargeable extra. We were aware of most of these at the time of booking, and found we could park in the road next to the hotel for nothing anyway, but were not prepared for the fact that there are now no kettles in the rooms, and that the tea and coffee previously available free of charge in the lounge is now charged at 2 euros for a cardboard cup of hot water from a machine, into which a tea bag or sachet of coffee can be inserted....we did not make use of this, prefering to get hot drinks much cheaper elswhere in Dublin. It was very, very disappointing, and put quite a dampener on our stay.

the reception was nice. chess and DVD in the living room. we were 3 people living in a 6 bed room.

I was not sure how to change the temp. of shower water. coffee machine in the living room was out of use. the reception didn't know I had changed the booking detail. should have updated the booking more frequently.
