Perfect place when we travel from Dublin airport

A perfect place for us just an hour from Dublin airport. Now we can stay here instead of an airport hotel for most of our travels back and forth from Dingle. Much nicer room and bath, lovely restaurant, prettier location and less expensive. We are thrilled to have found this hotel.

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..
