The hotel is quiet pricey. Although the staff is friendly their rooms aren’t so big also their sea view facing room is not so great as it is obstructed by building.

The room is large, but the soundproofing is very poor. The noise from the corridor kept me awake all night. The location is right by the sea. It is very convenient to see the sea. The breakfast is also very good and rich. People who are sensitive to noise should choose carefully.

Awesome staff with a breakfast for championships. Need better lighting for the rooms tho. The aircon was old/ outdated and did not perform as expected.

The hotel is situated in a perfect spot, making it incredibly easy to navigate around the Summerstrand area and explore everything it has to offer. Whether you're heading to the beach, local restaurants, or nearby attractions, everything is conveniently close by. What really made the stay special was the staff — they were amazing! Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was relaxed and inviting. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Looking forward to returning.

The Kelway , perfectly located with the best view of the beach, harbour and marine drive, located a short walk to beachfront, overlooking the aquarium which is being renovated, this is a little gem if you are lucky enough to experience a stay, you have found the pot of gold!
