Location was great, right in the middle of town. The hotel has installed two sets of windows on the front and our room had double paned windows on the side to cut down on outside noise. It was effective. Could open the side windows to let in the cool, western Ireland air.

Christopher United States of America

It was a really good experience. Comfortable and nice room which was well equipped.

Judith United States of America

Sinead United States of America

Perfect location in town, with parking in the back. Nice property. Clean room and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Bathroom with plenty hot water. Very good breakfast. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Maria United States of America

Great location in town yet quiet for sleeping in very comfy bed. Awesome staff - Irish hospitality at its finest! Delicious and varied breakfast. Soaking in the tub was much needed and appreciated after climbing Croagh Patrick. Looking forward to returning asap.
