Great location with plenty of options for dining and sightseeing. The rooms are clean and the staff were friendly. Just know that they do not have air conditioning in the rooms. They will provide you with a portable fan if requested. Well worth the cost to stay in this beautiful area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was very asthetically pleasing, from the grounds, to the rooms, and even the bar! We had a triple room (twin and a double bed), which was compact, but still plenty of room to move around. We appreciated being on the first floor as it was quite warm outside and the rooms do not have AC. We had a lovely dinner in the bar and also enjoyed relaxing on the adjoining patio. Staff was very accommodating and efficient. Location is an easy 15 minute walk into city center, which was a fun area to explore. If you're not from Ireland, heads up that hotels don't seem to provide conditioner (at least none of the four we stayed in did).

The pictures are great. The outside looks great, but the rooms are something out of a 70's horror show. Very outdated with flickering lights, cracked walls and just a musty smell. Not as advertised

The rooms were a nice size and we had a balcony. However, room was not very clean and smelled of smoke. Bed side plugs didn’t allow standard adapters so it was not convenient for charging phones or CPAPs. On site restaurant was very convenient, food was decent but service was slow. Lots of parking however many spots taken by fitness club attached to hotel. Overall we didn’t feel the hotel quality matched the higher room rate.
