Asfixiante
Pros:

Que quedaba cerca del sitio al que tenía que ir por la mañana temprano.

Cons:

La habitación era estrecha, no se podía pasar por ningún lado de la cama. La cama era muy alta, tenía casi que saltar para sentarme en ella y mido 1'75m. No había aire acondicionado ni ventilador de techo ni de ninguna otra clase y la ventana solo se abría una cuarta. Casi muero asfixiada. Para el precio que cobran y teniendo en cuenta que las olas de calor son frecuentes en Irlanda desde 2017, ya podían tener al menos ventiladores portátiles o renovar las ventanas para que pueda entrar aire fresco por la noche. Para llegar a la habitación hay que cruzar mil puertas y pasillos, que bien podían dejarlas abiertas...en una emergencia no me gustaría estar en uno de esos pasillos...

Not value for money but fantastic location.
Pros:

Fantastic location.

Cons:

Very outdated hotel. €200 for a twin room for one night with no breakfast included was quite expensive. No room service either...
Room had no air con and the weather was 29°.
Very noisy outside from 6am with unloading of beer barrels.
We only stayed to attend a concert so only used the room to sleep.
Asked for a late checkout but never got a reply....

Revamp needed. Big time.
Pros:

Whilst the hotel is centrally located there’s a few improvements that would need looking at.
The taps in the bathroom are what you’d find in public toilets, not great having to hold down to get water.
The high double bed ( big single) would be ok for children given it is the 4’6” bed.

Given the price paid for accommodation, the place needs a serious upgrade.
Value for money: no.
Would I recommend it: no, unless you’re stuck.

Clean room, musty smell, worst hotel breakfast I’ve ever had , ripped off with the price.
Pros:

Bathroom was clean, modern and good shower

Cons:

Room smelt musty. Breakfast was below standard, sausage wasn’t cooked inside, eggs were over cooked, bacon was tough. No milk on the table for the tea. Toast was thin as paper . Not worth €10 euro never mind €18. The room cost €169 for one night felt like I was ripped off. Left my phone charger in the room, went back for it within couple of hours and it was gone.
