Twin rooms do not have air-conditioning, while doubles do?! At least the windows open so the room can cool down at night.

Hotel was convenient as it was where our tour was leaving from but not a central area and there weren’t a lot of options around for dinner and no live music in the area. Breakfast was good though, rooms were nice and staff was helpful

WiFi was crap! Kept going down. Maintenance came up 4 times trying to resolve, but unsuccessful. Never offered a room change or complementary anything to compensate. Other parts of hotel did not have a problem. For the price, I expected more.

Fantastic hotel, we had a deluxe double room and were surprised how big it was. The room had a balcony and a double aspect. The shower was really good, rain water and hand held with lots of power. Coffee machine in the room with pods and bottled water topped up every day. Breakfast was great, €15 if you book in advance, even the day before, €17.50 on the day. Nice bar.

A little out of town and it wasn’t close to tram or bus stops so we found we had to use taxis a lot. Overall though, given the quality of the hotel we’d definitely use again.

This hotel was exactly as advertised. Reasonably priced, clean, quiet, and full of dining options. The staff were always warm, friendly, and helpful. The dinner I had at the gastro pub was one of my favorite meals of my time in Ireland. The coffee was great from the express cafe. When my luggage was delayed from the airline the hotel staff were able to accept the delivery for me so I could go explore without having to meet the delivery driver. The room was cleaned daily. Excellent hot water in the shower. Bed was comfortable. Will be staying here again.

The Hotel itself was very good, a great location that made walking to tourist spots easy. The only problem was with medication I left with them, to be stored in the refrigerator for 8 days, until we returned from a tour to stay another night. They mistakenly put it in the freezer ruining the medication, at a cost of $1800.00. I hope they have taken the steps to ensure this doesn't happen to another guest. The manager did try to get the medication from a pharmacy, without success.

The hotel is very dated and way too expensive for the area. You can stay at the Marker hotel a couple blocks away for the same price and it's a 4-star hotel. The hotel itself is dated.
