    The draught beer in the bar wasn't great for the price you pay for it.

    We've stayed here before and it is very clean, accessible and the staff helpful and friendly.

    Could use with some pancakes/waffles for breakfast and a stronger coffee. I wish the shower head was more adjustable, but I know that's just a typical old British/Irish bathroom thing.

    Very lovely staff, an absolutely beautiful place, great and very spacious room, great breakfast

    It was difficult to order roomservice and the staff seemed to struggle to deliver the food.

    Easy to reach, friendly staff especially at reception, breakfast was good and the hostess was helpful in pointing us to a more quiet table since we were travelling with a newborn and one year old.

    Impressive Location, but Some Problems with Noise and Service

    Unfortunately, I encountered a few issues during my stay. Service at the restaurant was slow, and the windows in the room could not be opened. Additionally, the door to my room did not close properly. The most troubling aspect was the small size of the hall, which allowed noise from other rooms to be heard throughout the night. The cleaning process also seemed to take a long time, contributing to the overall noise and making the hotel feel quite crowded.

    The location is fabulous and the structure is impressive.

    The room was small. The bathroom was terrible. Every time we used the shower everything got wet from the humidity and lack of curtain. The floor was slippery which kind of defeated the purpose of ADA bathroom. For the price of the hotel the room was definitely not worth it.

    The lobby and restaurants were very fancy and nice.

    The poorest breakfast we have ever had in Ireland. The food was lukewarm and there were no fried eggs. In the evening the restaurant was closed and only bar meals were available. No shelf for ablution items in the bathroom.

    Very little! Poor value for the price compared to the other hotels we stayed at during our visit to Ireland.

    Night manager was horrible to deal with. We had come back at 2am from being out and were chatting in the room to which then night manager knocked and advised of a noise complaint from the next room which is understandable and we apologised and advised we would be quiet. He stood outside the room and knocked seconds later to advise we were “screaming” which is frankly untrue as I had literally only closed the door from the first knock. He didn’t knock again which confirms we weren’t loud to begin with and we were made feel uncomfortable at the thought of him waiting outside our room listening for a reason to knock when there was none.

    Good loc
