Pros:

Friendly staff, great location

Cons:

The room was tiny and the walls were stained. There was no lift and a step down from the bedroom towards the door. Very unsuitable for elderly or anyone with mobility issues. There was no way to adjust the heat in the room. For the price it is absolutely the worst value for money I've found in Ireland.

Their hotel was disappointing on many levels. We would not choose to stay here again or recommend it to anyone.
Pros:

The rooms were clean.

Cons:

It was difficult to get our luggage to our rooms through narrow hallways and up two flights of stairs. This property needs an elevator. Additionally it was extremely loud. The noise from the bar below kept us awake all night. Then a drunken reveler came down our hallway trying to get into every room. Rattling the doors all the way down the hallway trying to get in. It was upsetting. We were traveling with our children who had been put in a room on a different floor on the opposite side of the hotel. It was unsettling. We asked if we could have rooms closer together and they said only if we paid 250 euros additional. When a family makes a reservation together why wouldn’t they be put in rooms next door? On the same floor? Crazy. And then to upsell us for an extravagant fee? Very upsetting. We had to get up early for a flight with no sleep. It was a disappointing stay.
