Foley Ireland

Great location for visiting and accessing tourist attractions on a wedding anniversary celebration. Desk staff were really helpful , giving directions to great tapas restaurants the day we arrived , and holding our bags the day we left. Not sure who was responsible for the fireworks display we were able to watch from our room - but thanks a million

Michael Ireland

Location is excellent. Across the street from Born and from the port. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are very clean and quite spacious. Excellent value for the price

Ffadi Switzerland

very friendly staff, always willing to help! hotel and location were perfect for a long weekend!

Anamaria Austria

The reception manager and support staff went out of their way to get us checked in and baggage up to our room. The hotel was close to the port where we picked up a cruise a few days later. Plenty of options in close proximity for breakfast, lunch, dinner, shopping, and so much more.

Vinod United States
