An utterly dreadful experience. I would never return.
Pros:

Leaving

Cons:

The room was freezing cold, with no facility for guests to control or turn on the heating. Instead, heating is centrally controlled and only activated when hotel management considers it necessary, regardless of guests’ comfort.

The noise levels were completely unacceptable. This hotel appears to operate more as a late-night party venue than somewhere guests can reasonably expect a peaceful night’s sleep. Drinks were being served until at least 2 a.m., accompanied by incessant screaming, shouting and general disturbance throughout the night. Getting any meaningful sleep was virtually impossible.

To make matters worse, staff appeared entirely indifferent to guest feedback, showing little interest in addressing the issues raised or acknowledging the inconvenience caused.

A hotel should, at the very minimum, provide warmth, comfort and a reasonable opportunity to sleep. This establishment failed spectacularly on all three counts.

Even if this were the last hotel on earth, I would not consider staying here again.

Avoid at all costs.
Pros:

It was central and close to all attractions in the town.
The staff were the best thing about the hotel. All so friendly and helpful it was such a shame the hotel didn’t keep up to their standards.

Cons:

The double room was actually a small double (4ft) bed which would suit children only. Rooms in bad need of an upgrade, windows were so drafty they left the room freezing. Very little heating in the hotel. Breakfast was terrible, overcooked English breakfast with no Irish offering at all.
