Nice hotel Central location
Pros:

Nice location right in the middle of the town. A mighty breakfast included in our stay fresh & plenty of it . Kids portions where massive also . Lovely food and very friendly staff.

Cons:

Was abit noisy couldn't open the window as there was to much going on outside with cars & people but that was expected & there was ear plugs available in the room. There was a fan in the room so that saved the day too thank god. No lift In the hotel so had to carry everything but look thats only a minor thing.

Adequate but expensive for what it is.
Pros:

Central Location. Bed very comfortable.

Cons:

Staff poor. Felt like we were interrupting a private conversation on arrival and departure between multiple staff sat chatting at reception. Didn't seem to want to deal with us. Staff in bar/restaurant much more friendly. Carpet in hotel giving a very musty smell, particularly on the landing

A charming hotel in a charming little town
Pros:

It was a beautiful hotel, and the girl at the front desk was so kind and helpful. (Kira? Kiera?)

Cons:

No elevator, which made hauling luggage quite a burden

Short but sweet stay in centre of Thurles
Pros:

Great breakfast and provided headphones to help deal with the disco. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Cons:

Disco was a bit loud. It was hard to get in after hours. We had to wait until somebody opened the doors, a fob/key card method of opening the main door after hours would not go astray.

Pleasant accommodation in a quiet town.
Pros:

Comfy bed, nice receptionist.

Cons:

Less noise from the disco. Breakfast venue in a pub environment isn’t the best.
