We loved the quirkyness of the historic building, the location was excellent and the staff were great.
AustraliaReally interesting Hotel in a lovely historical location. Staff are helpful. Nice quiet location with options for walking and sightseeing nearby. The local transit hub is very close (5 mins) with very convenient links to the city, beaches and airport.
IrelandWe loved the hotel very much. It has been beautifully restored to how it would have been originally. It has beautiful antique furniture and wooden floors. Our room was spotlessly clean and the shower was very powerful and hot. The Manager (Dee) was so kind and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely stay again!
United KingdomThe staff went above and beyond to bring us breakfast well before breakfast time. We had an early flight and left the hotel at 5am. The staff brought hot coffee, muffins, fruit, and yogurt to our room at a very early hour to make sure we didn't go hungry.
