Lovely hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel, friendly staff. Comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast was good. Very central but not noisy.

Cons:

My only gripe was shower curtains in the bathroom instead of shower doors, takes away any feeling of luxury and full of bacteria.

Great Location, Great Hotel!
Pros:

The location is perfect, a five-minute walk to the Castle and the downtown area. Front desk staff was excellent. Pub was awesome with a great menu and trad music.

Cons:

Write-up needs to let you know just to go right up the side street next to the hotel and park your car for the duration at 17 Euros for 24 hours (you won’t need it). Also stairs within the room have the bathroom on a different level.
