A charming hotel with a great location and wonderful staff
Pros:

The hotel is located in a very charming, historic and beautifully renovated building, which gives it a truly special character. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, making the hotel a perfect base for exploring the city and its surroundings.

We were especially impressed by the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, who made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great selection.

We also had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant one evening and were very pleased with the experience – both the food and the service were excellent.

A lovely place to stay that we would happily recommend.

Cons:

A kettle in the room would be a nice addition and would make the stay even more comfortable.

Fabulous find, delightful staff and delicious food!
Pros:

A wonderfully welcoming hotel with super friendly staff, amazing breakfast and a fabulous restaurant for evening meals. The food was delicious. Only 10 bedrooms so nice and exclusive, and overall a fabulous stay. I would highly recommend. The rooms were clean and spacious, clean towels daily and I would stay again and soak in that fabulous Irish hospitality.

Cons:

The rooms are relatively basic and the bed a bit too soft for me, but I am being picky. Nothing else I didn't like!

An Irish stay in an amazing location that is also quiet when you want it to
Pros:

Loved the quaint and cozy hotel and bar. Location was amazing and so walkable to everything. Room was not a luxury hotel but was amazing with large windows everything we could have needed. Very quiet, even on a Friday and Saturday night. On site parking and included breakfast was excellent!

Cons:

Everything was lovely
