Rooms were quirky and beautifully decorated - really different and special

Briege United Kingdom

My room had a beautiful window view. There was a table placed in just the right place, and it felt SO cozy and wonderful. I would request the same room in my next visit, I absolutely loved it!

Eduard United States of America

Breakfast was fantastic! The historic building was charming. Excellent location on the Grand Canal.

Yulia United States of America

Food on site was great. Staff were friendly. Beds were comfy. Rooms were quiet and well-appointed. Location was really centralized.

Erin United States of America

Cute small hotel. Great staff, quiet location. Within walking distance to coffee shop. On the canal so nice place for a walk. Nice outdoor seating areas.

Chris United States of America

Great stuff Willing to help in a most pleasant way

Yaron Israel

The location was excellent and the rooms were spacious. The beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was fantastic and the onsite restaurant was excellent.

Anne United States of America

A hotel with a bit more character than the usual suspects. Super friendly staff and very comfy large bed. Great location with good access to lots of interesting areas outside the centre, for those who want to explore a bit further.

Sam Denmark

A thoroughly charming hotel with everything you'd want -- helpful staff, spacious room for two, an on-site pub and restaurant. The beds were the most comfortable we'd slept in over a 12-day visit to Ireland. An unqualified success!

Mary United States of America

Very copious breakfast, excellent bread, porridge, full Irish. We had comfortable rooms at the backside, no noise of traffic etc, could sleep well. Was easy to park our car, and to drive into the centre. We had dinner on an evening in the hotel's restaurant. That was a good experience too.
