The Ivy Tower is conflicted. Are they in the hotel business or the after pub hours drinkers.
Pros:

Staff, food, wine, cleanliness, room was excellent, location. Bathroom & shower. I spoke to several members of staff and security personnel from 11:00pm to about 3:30am several times who were sympathetic, professional and tried to solve the problems. Also as I was checking out I made a full report to 2 staff who were extremely nice and understanding.
The info I sent is strictly private and confidential for the attention of booking.com and the Ivy Tower hotel only.
I do not agree to it being published anywhere or made public.

Cons:

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Loud throbbing Bass and Drum Beat until 2:30am then very loud and boisterous next door residents from 3am to about 4:30 or 5:00am.
I was to attend an event the next morning and planned an early start but couldn't go because I did not get to sleep until after 5:00am. This was a waste of an entire day as I traveled from Athlone and just had to go back home after check out.

Pros:

I booked to stay there as a solo female for work. The place was full of old men one of them heckled me in the bar area. The place seems to be used as emergency shelter and I did not feel safe there I paid €240 for two nights and left after the first one because I felt so anxious and uneasy in what was a very shabby environment. The staff were lovely and did their best when I met them first but that place is not being run like a hotel and it should not be charging hotel prices and those who are being advertised to on your site should be aware that it is not a normal functioning hotel.
