Pros:

Big rooms with big beds and free parking

Cons:

A bit soulless and for the money you can get a nice breakfast included in this neck of the woods. Please provide conditioner as my hair was very puffy with the soap provided, and our AC was leaking and making a puddle by the entrance of our room.

Would have been fantastic accommodation if not for availability of restaurant and loud noise
Pros:

Good facilities for children
Good location for onward travel

Cons:

Was turned away from restaurant as they had a prebook party, even though they had a no booking policy.
Noise levels at 5am were ridiculous, loud thumping music woke whole family despite a quiet policy from 11pm-7am

Lovely hotel , great food and lovely staff . My son daughter in law and two small children were placed directly above wh
Pros:

Food was lovely and not too pricey as Ireland is usually very expensive . Staff were nice and friendly .

Cons:

Only one lift working which looking back at reviews has been an ongoing process . This is very busy hotel so this should be a priority to get this fixed . I have poor legs so I struggled to climb 4 floors but I seen older people much worse off than myself .

Décevant et mauvais rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Lits confortables
Grande chambre et frigo

Cons:

Nous avons payé une chambre triple a 300euros la nuit sans petit dej ce qui est excessif par rapport aux autres établissements irlandais du même standing.
Vue sur les poubelles.... avec rangement des poubelles tot le matin énorme bruit qui réveille.
Rideau cassé noccultant qu'une partie de la lumière la nuit.
Carrelage de la salle de bain fissuré.
Pas de après shampoing/ lotion pour le corps / shower cap.
Accès a la piscine limité sur réservation créneau de 46min idem pour la salle de jeux des enfant.

Top class from start to finish
Pros:

We had a brilliant stay from start to finish. We travelled with our two small children and the hotel was very well suited for families.

Dinner was excellent. The kids were given crayons and colouring books, there was a kids’ club that evening, and their food was brought out straight away, which was a great touch. The food for us was top class too.

The next morning we booked a slot for the pool, and there’s also a small playground for the kids.

Overall, we couldn’t fault the hotel. Great food, lovely staff and excellent service. Would definitely recommend, especially for families with young children.

Cons:

Nothing
