We were 3 sisters traveling together. The House Hotel put us in one of their "apartments" which was three separate, big, beautiful rooms that opened onto a joint hallway that then opened up to the street. One room was ensuite, the other two shared a hall bathroom. The door opened onto the street just around the corner from the hotel entrance door. It was an amazing set up and we loved it! The location of the House Hotel is awesome - right at the Spanish Arch and the beginning of the pedestrian walking street that becomes Shop Street as you get closer to Eyre Square (10 minute walk).

United States of AmericaJames at the front desk was phenomenal! Our sink wouldn’t drain and it was in the evening, he was going to give it to maintenance in the morning but this wouldn’t be very convenient for us. James took matters into his own hands: he got someone to cover for him, and he took apart our sink drain and cleaned it out. When this didn’t rectify the problem he took it apart again and cleaned it further. It worked! Great initiative from James!!

United States of AmericaThe manager, Maura O'Donnell, and her staff were superb. They helped my wife after her fall and provided a wheelchair for the rest of the stay. They also assisted me in contacting the Irish National Police (Guarda) when I was sideswiped after dropping off my wife and taking the rental car to the carpark blocks away.
