"I have stayed in many worse 5 star hotels. How this is rated 4.5 stars 🌟 I will never understand. Facilities are new and perfectly maintained. The front of house staff are excellent. The doorman was 11/10 courteous especially when seeing my Dublin registration as he worked there for 11 years. The receptionist spoke to me in Irish ☘️ The room appeared as though nobody had ever stayed there before. The hotel had every amenity and the outdoor pool was even open in late October. Don’t miss this hotel right opposite the beach if you’re in the area. Brilliant people and property."

"Ideal location for cies ferry, downtown and restaurants and an easy walk to both train stations. The town had a big party overnight but the interior facing room was silent-well worth having not much of a window. We didn't hear hall noise but I imagine you might if people were loud. We were able to check in early which was very helpful. We only stayed one night and for that the triple for three people was a good place to stay. It is a fairly poor and inexpensive looking renovation but adequate and clean."
