Location is excellent, rooms are clean and spacious. However the rooms are very tired, worn and dated. Front desk experience is very dependent on who you speak to. First encounter was acceptable at best as she just went through the motions with zero welcoming. Later, a younger gentleman was very helpful and friendly.

It was easily found in the high st, as it was big. Plenty of parking underground. Room was on the front and on a warm night was noisy with windows open. No Hotel Info in the room which is always helpful. Restaurant food was good and good evening entertainment at weekend.

We booked the Bracken Court Hotel for 6 nights for our family (we have 2 small children) in July 2025. However, after 2 nights stay, we had to request an early check out since there was no air conditioning in the room and there was no ventilation in the room other than the windows, which does not help much (the area was enclosed so no wind was not actually coming into the room). We requested a fan from the hotel, but were informed that there were no more available fans. Since our children were finding it very difficult to sleep in the nights due to the heat, we had to check in to another hotel for the reminder of our stay in Ireland (4 nights) and requested a refund from Bracken Court Hotel for the remainder of the time, but we were denied a refund and no further assistance.
