Loved the hotel. The hotel is beautiful and has great sitting spaces. The staff was very kind & helpful. It was a bit weird that no one answers the main phone number. Was a little disappointed that the room was so warm and we were not told it did not have ac. But everything else law was great.

Went for a one night stay, it was amazing. The hotel is fabulous staff are fabulous. it was a real 10 out of 10. The beds were super comfy, so were the pillows, the breakfast which was included in the room rate and made a super full menu, with plentiful breakfast items that wouldn’t disappoint every taste - I cannot find anything that wasn’t first class. We will stay there again for sure.

Excellent hot breakfast buffet &/or complimentary menu choices. Beds were very comfortable. Central location on Eyre Square was so convenient to Shop Street & all the restaurants & pubs & made our trip completely walkable. Nearby parking was close to major shopping centre.

The amazing thing about this hotel is the service-very attentive. Our room had an issue so I requested another. The front desk offered an amazing room for the trouble which was not expected at all. An amazing view, much bigger, and a really nice gesture.

Clean room, friendly check-in. Standard Irish breakfast. Shower was tiny! No frigerator in room. Felt the 250 euro rate was too high. Location was perfect to shopping, bars and restaurants.

Great location .. lovely old hotel but needs some freshening up. Large comfortable rooms, beds and bathrooms but dated and dreary. Good service personnel but front desk personnel need some “hospitality” training. Very quiet and nice even with two weddings and a bachelorette party going on.
