The staff were so helpful and friendly . Really great atmosphere in the hotel and amazing service

Ciara Ireland

The hotel is in the perfect location just off Eyre Square. The room was the perfect temperature not too hot or cold. Breakfast had an excellent selection too and the staff were wonderful. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. I loved the decor and the combination of bringing a building from an older era into the modern one.

Melanie United Kingdom

Really could not fault our stay in any way... Most comfortable beds and pillows. Really lovely staff so polite and friendly, shout out to Tom in the breakfast room and the barman (tues/wed)... Breakfast was just delicious 😋 I love this old style building and those amazing, huge windows .... A stay in any hotel starts with the reception staff which were all so lovely.... It's worth the money and will definitely be a return guest here.. Thank you all for such a lovely stay.
