This hotel was everything I could ask for and more !
Pros:

Location was perfect. My room was spotlessly clean staff was very friendly. Food was excellent. I would definitely stay again

Cons:

Nothing the only thing that would’ve added to it would be if the weather was nice enough to have the rooftop seating area to sit with a drink

Pros:

Our room was an ocean front room overlooking the JFK Memorial Park and the beautiful ocean. The beds were very comfy, and the room was super spacious. The St Colman's Cathedral, Titanic Experience, everything within walking distance. We were also able to have our car parked in the rear of the building which was convenient. There's a restaurant in the hotel which was wonderful as well. The hotel has so much history being built in 1854, most of my ancestors would have seen this hotel as they sailed away!!! There is also a genealogy center for southern Ireland as well. The rooms were spacious and have an elegant and luxurious feel while you stare at the ocean!! The reception and staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Excellent, thoroughly enjoyed from the rubber duck in the bath to
Pros:

Very nice hotel, excellent location and fabulous room, very helpful staff and very comfy.
The breakfast was good, would be better with a room service option but you can collect the food and bring it back to the room as a workaround.

Cons:

Just on the breakfast, a room service option would be great and a wee bit more attention to detail, one main was missed on the order, cutlery, butter for the toast, ketchup for the fry. Staff were helpful and lovely but it would be improved if there was a checklist or something they could learn off.

Pros:

Die Lage war super, das Bad sah sehr neu aus und hat uns gut gefallen.

Cons:

Unser zimmer ging nach hinten zum Hof raus und dort war es in der Nacht bzw. Durchgehend sehr laut durch einige Geräte oder Maschinen. (Evtl. Lüftungen oder ähnliches) Aussicht war nicht ansprechend. Eins der Handtücher war leider auch schmutzig und fleckig.
