Stay in the main hotel if you book, Bishop’s Gate
Pros:

The desk staff was great.

Cons:

We stayed in an “apartment” that was near the hotel. The apartment was clean, but had the smallest bathroom we saw in 13 nights in Ireland.

A cozy, charming and well cared for hotel. Very nice room and bathroom. The bar and restaurant were well decorated and lovely. The location was perfect in the center of the walled city. The breakfast was very nice.

Expensive and felt mislead. Disappointing.
Pros:

We booked the hotel and the room was marketed as an apartment. That was fine except they didn’t disclose the apartment was across and down the street from the hotel. They didn’t so close that there was no elevator and the apartment was 4 stories up and accessible only by stairs. They don’t disclose that the only bed was a double sized bed. Expensive and very disappointing.
