Absolut das Geld nicht wert!
Pros:

Das Hotel war zentral, das Frühstück okay, mehr aber nicht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war alt und in die Jahre gekommen. Über der Dusche hat es geschimmelt und es war mehrfach überstrichen worden. Der Teppich war an manchen Stellen schwarz und vergammelt. Nachts war es so laut, dass man ab ca. 2:30 Uhr nicht mehr zur Ruhe kam. Es hörte sich an, als würden die Bediensteten Betten über die Flure schieben und Türen knallen. Die Wände waren so dünn, dass man alles hören konnte. Zwischenzeitlich ist das warme Wasser ausgefallen, wir mussten kalt duschen. Beim Check out wurden wir nicht gefragt, wie unser Aufenthalt war. Das Hotel würde ich auf keine Fall empfehlen, schon gar nicht für den Preis.

Great stay in a lovely hotel, we will definitely return.
Pros:

Great central hotel with the added bonus of parking on site for our vw transporter. The staff and service was exceptional and we even got to meet the owner who was very informative, telling us about the history of the hotel.
The full Irish breakfast was also delicious.

Viihtyisä ja kodikas

Olisin kaivannut käsisaippuaa kylpyhuoneeseen. Ja huoneessa oli jonkin verran pölyä pinnoilla.
