Pros:

The staff is friendly, the room was good, breakfast was good, but the best was the pool and sauna 😀and free parking

Cons:

Hotels in Ireland are more expensive than same sort of hotels in other European countries. In this case we did not care so much, because of the leisure centre.

Pros:

Wir haben eine Woche in dem Hotel verbracht. Die Lage des Hotels ist gut. Wir sind des öfteren ins Zentrum gelaufen und haben es innerhalb von 20 Minuten erreicht. Busstationen befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hotels. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Hervorheben möchten wir auch den Pool. Mit 20m Länge kann man schon sehr gut schwimmen und auch andere Annehmlichkeiten wie zum Beispiel den Whirlpool kann man nutzen.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Unser Apartment war sauber, aber es müsste mal wieder optisch aufgefrischt werden. Auch an die Lüftungsanlage mussten wir uns erst gewöhnen.
