The hotel was in a great location, close to St Michael's Bridge and also had parking. The parking was secure but quite expensive. The building was really beautiful as it was an old monastery. We did not have breakfast as it was quite expensive, but there was a lovely cafe at the end of the road. The staff in the hotel were really friendly and helpful, my partner injured his foot and they helped with ice packs and there was a pharmacy around the corner. The rooms were spotless and beds were comfortable. Very peacful despite location.

Amazing shower but without ventilation. That should be installed asap. We didn't figure out how the coffee machine worked. The bed was very good, but there was'nt much space around the bed. Breakfast was offered for 25 Euro per person which we declined. We only stayed for one night.

This property has bed bugs. I discovered this at midnight - the night guard was unbelievably rude and argumentative when I raised this as an issue. He was dismissive and aggressive and frankly I’ve never experienced anything like it. The ladies at reception were very nice, tumble dried my clothes after I washed them, I was given an alternative room for the rest of the night and the hotel issued me a full refund that is to be honest the least they could do. I am covered in bites, had to book a new hotel for the rest of my trip and this cast a bit of a pall over the holiday. Both staff members I spoke to were keen to insist the hotel wasn’t at fault as they had just had a lot of guests from the city festival. Make of that what you will. The property is charming and well located but the cleanliness and self-admitted capacity to handle large numbers of guests in these circumstances leaves a huge amount to be desired.

The room was spacious and very new. The bathroom had a window that wouldn’t stay open. It seemed a little farther than expected from the sites. We would have liked to have seen more history and pictures of the building. The room number named a person, however it didn’t let you know anything about them. The room we were in was not accessible by an elevator, which was fine for us. Seems like they should ask that when booking. Renovations well done.
