Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
the room smelled like grease, and the AC was low, so when it was hot you had no choice but to open the window, which led to a higher smell of food and grease from the next door restaurant. It was impossible to sleep and our clothes had that smell of food and grease for days.

Great location and beautiful hotel except the carpets are worn, old and not clean. Aside from that a lovely hotel. Service on the whole was excellent with the exception that they were not organized enough when it came to an item (medication) left behind: they called me to tell me that they found it and agreed to hold it a few days for me to return, but then when I returned no one knew where it was. Costly medication lost.

The only downside to this hotel was that there was no air conditioning and of course who would think you would need that in Ireland? Otherwise lived the area and the vibe and hotel

Hotel has seen better days! The rooms are very dated, with gross carpet, stained wallpaper and old beds. With no air conditioning, I’ve never been more uncomfortable sleeping. On the other hand, the staff were great, doing everything they could to ensure we had a good stay.

The drink glasses in the bathroom were dirty and smelled like alcohol and the floor was sticky. There was a beer can outside our window. We had an issue overnight with loud neighbors, they did come and ask them to keep it down but you can hear everything. I know it’s an older hotel but it’s something for people to keep in mind if they are hoping to sleep well. Service from the front desk staff and bar was wonderful. The food in the restaurant was good.

It was convenientt to the train station and all other attractions in town. It was easy to walk to shopping and dining venues. The staff was very welcoming and responded to the few simple requests that we had. The hotel was very dated. Carpet was very worn, the headboards on the beds were worn, and needed to be updated and did not to appear to be particularly clean.
