Definitely recommend!!
Pros:

The bedroom was very nice and comfortable! We were there during a bit of a heatwave and the AC held up great! The staff was lovely and helpful. Easy walking distance from pubs and stores. Not too far from the pier either!

Cons:

No complaints. Everything was great!

Lovely boutique hotel with wonderful breakfast
Pros:

Small boutique hotel. Lovely room. Lovely staff. Loved the little extras that had been carefully thought about. Kate checkout. Let us borrow a towel even though we’d checked out. The breakfast was wonderful spread.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

A berendezés, a természetesség, a reggeli minősége és választék.

Cons:

Nagyon zajos volt a szobánk. Az utcára nyílt és alatta van a bár/ kávézó terasza. A reggelizőben a félhomály furcsa volt, sötét . Ár - érték arányban drága szállás volt.

Memorable stay
Pros:

Good location. Spacious, clean room, and aesthetically pleasing room. Delicious and varied breakfast spread. Walking distance to places to eat. Short drive to Cliffs of Moher. Note: Can no longer walk to visitor site via trail since part of the path to the main visitor site is closed due to safety.

Cons:

Need heater bar and/or bar for towels to dry.

A hotel with all the extras packed with the hospitality of a small inn. The best of both worlds!
Pros:

The breakfast was a daily work of art! Gorgeously laid out with almost unlimited choices. It was easy to spend time enjoying the morning. The hotel always had a helpful person ready to care for the guests. Service was exceptional. Beautiful black-and-white photography in the lobby.

Cons:

The rooms were so incredibly stylish and modern that they could have used a few more flat surfaces for clothes, etc. It would be good if there was an option for less scented ambiance for allergy-prone guests.

A great stay with easy access to local bars and music.
Pros:

The breakfast was a highlight of our week long trip around Ireland. The staff were friendly and the location was ideal.

Cons:

We were unable to find a quite corner for our group to sit and play board games (I was organising a boardgame tour of Ireland). It did not appear to be part of the Hotel's setup.
