A beautiful and well-located place to stay in Sligo Town
Pros:

The hotel is like a stately old lady who is modern enough to be well-liked but old enough in her decor to be well-loved.
The foyer and lounge are beautiful and peaceful. The room was spacious, very clean and most comfortable. The bathroom was clean and bright.
The hotel is well situated and within walking distance of anywhere you want to be in central Sligo Town.

Cons:

We had not booked dinner and were told the dining room was by reservation only. When you're on holiday/ walking around sightseeing one often doesn't know if one is going to want to dine in or hit the town, nor what exact time one wants to eat dinner. As such, a drop in for hotel guests would be a nice option for the dining room.
However, we were advised to go to the Bar and the food and service there were lovely

Gut, aber.....
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut unweit des Zentrums. Das Hotel hat den Charme eines Grandhotels, zumindest in der Lobby und im Erdgeschoss. Nur wenige Gehminuten bis in die City. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt am Hotel.
Sehr freundliches Personal (Rezeption, Speisesaal). Das Frühstückbuffet war herausragend sowohl bezogen auf Auswahl, Vielfalt und Frische.

Cons:

Die Zimmer haben keine Klimaanlagen und es war sehr heiß in unserem Gebäudetrakt. Wir haben aufgrunddessen sehr schlceht geschlafen. Bei einem Hotel dieser Kategorie erwarte ich standardmässig eine Klimaanlage. der Zugang zu unserem Zimmer war zudem nicht barrierefrei, was sich mit schwerem Gepäck anstrengend und umständlich gestaltete. Das Fitnesscenter war am Wochenende leider auch nicht nutzbar, da geschlossen. Schade, das könnte man sicherlich anders organisieren für Gäste, die sich dort sportlich betätigen möchten und keine Anleitung bzw. Aufsicht benötigen, das funktioniert in anderen Hotels problemlos.
