The decor is amazing! And location is brilliant! Especially, if you have a car you are only a short distance from the city and other amenities.

Staff! Everyone from check-in to check-out wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Had a great time sitting in the bar for dinner and drinks. Talked for hours with the staff about Ireland, whiskey and everything else! Got great tips from Mark and the rest of the crew. Mark, the Abbey and Tower were our favorite part of our trip, thank you!

Doc, United States of America

“Good on the surface, but underwhelming once experienced”

We were charged twice! Once on check-in and once on check-out. This is not good considering Gerry at the front desk did actually ask if we'd paid at we told him when we left we had certainly done so. Clearly this was not good enough. We had to move rooms from 335 to 303. The quality of the former was very poor. I have left a Tripadvisor review to show photographs of the stained carpet, worn furniture, bubbling paintwork and poor decoration. The room was incredibly smoky and Robert, from the front desk, agreed with us and moved us to 303. It was a non-smoking room but was awfully odourous. 303 was again lacking in complete decoration, but a room overlooking the car park. The bathroom was larger, but there were still issues such as heavy wear to the chairs and the sash window catches were broken causing the window to buffet the frames, allow drafts through and there was a standard of general disrepair. Expected far more. This property clearly invests all its money into being the best wedding venue it can be. They have certificates to verify this, and the rooms that have been refurbed are clearly suites more fitting for guests who have been involved in their ceremonies on site.
Breakfast is very good here. The large breakfast room has some good sweeping views of the hillside and a good atmosphere. The quality of the food is decent and staff bring over tea and coffee per your request. The lobby is nice, the overall appearance of the hotel on the surface is one which is quite nice.

The restaurant service and the food was very poor; we had 3 menus to choose from: fish chicken and burger, the food was served without serviette and the presentation of the food in the plate was poor also.
The room I stayed in was a contemporary room which I liked it’s was over my expectations well done
