Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Rooms repeatedly described as clean and modern; several guests noted well-kept bathrooms and overall tidy accommodation, though a few mentioned small housekeeping lapses (towels not neatly folded, bench tops not wiped).
Service
8.3
Staff are frequently praised as friendly and excellent in multiple reviews; one report of an unpleasant receptionist and isolated issues (lift out of service) slightly temper an otherwise strong service impression.
Location
8.7
Many guests highlight an excellent, convenient location (close to pubs, sightseeing bus stop, safe/quiet area); a small number noted event-related transport disruptions or less-desirable immediate surroundings during the Fleadh.
Room Quality
8.4
Rooms described as spacious with comfortable beds and large bathrooms for many guests; a few specific issues reported (requested large double not provided, small bed, AC unit/noise outside window, intermittent hot water).
Amenities
7.4
Mixed notes: lift access praised, but guests mention paid parking (and some security concerns), bar closures, limited crockery/cutlery in apartments and few late-night dining options — overall amenities are functional but with noticeable gaps.
Value for Money
7.6
Perceived value lowered by additional charges (paid parking) and occasional service hiccups; room quality and included breakfast generally support a positive value impression but extras reduce the score.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast is often praised (good choice, hot dishes available) and food described as delicious by several guests; some found breakfast service chaotic or noted limited beverage options (no smoothies) and scarce late-night dining choices.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall sentiment is positive with many 'excellent' or highly recommended stays and repeat guests; isolated negatives (parking costs, occasional staff/reception issues, small room/bed problems) temper an otherwise strong guest experience.

Fine but wouldn’t stay there again
Pros:

Location was handy

Cons:

I didn’t ask for a room for someone with a disability and got one. Everything was fine except the sink was so low, just above my knees. Made for wheelchair. Also restaurant and bar closing at 9pm was a bit too early.
