Poor overall
Pros:

Requested a twin room at booking to discover it was a double, parking was given as a preference to other guests just because they were in the cannonball run, the fire alarm going off at 2.30 in the middle of the night for 10 seconds ruined one’s nights sleep

Good if you want to be in a convient location
Pros:

Lovely being on the river and a great location

Cons:

Room didn’t look like it had been vacuumed for some time. There was hair around the bathroom and shower. My room looked at an internal roof with water pooling causing dripping noise if you had the window open which you needed to as the smell in the room was so intense, like a cheap air freshener that was covering some other smell.

Sehr schöne Zentrale Lage direkt am Fluss!
Pros:

Die Lage ist Top! Direkt am Fluss und mit direkter Brücke zur Kirche. Sehr nettes Personal und gutes Frühstück. Gute Bar! Zimmer sehr schön.

Cons:

Das Bad!!!!! Leider ist es sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die Toilette ist sehr niedrig. Kacheln zum Teil beschädigt. Eklige Silikonränder an der Wanne. Echt Schade.

Very good hotel and a great location. Would stay again.
Pros:

Stunning location on the river with good parking which is free when staying.
Breakfast was much like the rest of this hotel which was exceptional. The staff were so professional and friendly which for a solo business man, is very welcome. The restaurant serves a good range of meals, but I only had a burger and side salad......best burger ever. It was delicious.
The bedroom was exceptional and very spacious with a bed I would like to take home.
One additional bonus, were windows you can open to get some fresh air which is unusual in this day.

Cons:

Only thing I did not like was the confusing light switches in my room, which I never fully worked out.

Pros:

Staff were lovely,

Cons:

rooms were old and a bit grubby. Carpet in room stained. Pillow extremely lumpy. Silver fish in bathroom, no extractor fan in bathroom and smell of damp. Everything else was fine. I paid extra for view of river did not expect it to be a tiny view from side

Pros:

Las habitaciones son muy amplias y las camas son muy cómodas. El desayuno bufé muy completo y puedes tomar el típico Irish breakfast. Además, está situado en el centro y es muy cómodo para visitar las ciudad y tomarte una buena pinta en Sean’s Bar .
