I have just spent 3 nights at the Twin Trees hotel and it has been the most unpleasant experience I have ever had. The hotel has taken in families seeking International Protection and currently only has 35 bedrooms available for residents (we were not told this in booking). Unfortunately this has created an extremely unpleasant environment in the hotel - security are regularly visible in the doors and inside, but not when you need them. There is a local picket/protest that has been set up at the hotel entrance and last night a fight broke out between residents and the protestors at 3am. No security to be seen of course. Men in balaclavas, waving flags, threatening women - this hotel is NOT SAFE for families so please move your booking elsewhere. On the first night, there were people shouting in the car park from 11-2am (I’m assuming they were the people requiring “protection”. There was also a woman ejected from the hotel and Gardai were called to remove her. You could not make this up if you tried - I have not had much sleep as you can imagine as the shouting went on for hours. This place is an utter nightmare until the Protest and Resident situation is changed so please book somewhere else until that is resolved. There is absolutely no consideration for residents here.
