The property is old and certainly not environmentally friendly. The washroom could use upgrades to the flushing system to save water. Overall room was larger than other hotel we stayed in Ireland. The hotel is a bit far from downtown area

Very nice hotel - very comfortable and has been recently refurbished. Great welcome from the staff. Location is not ideal for the city and it takes about 30 minutes to walk in but is on a decent bus route.

I didn’t like having to wait for 30mins post arrival for the room to be ready and the lack of consideration as to how we might fill that time. However, I did like the room, beds comfortable, bathroom lovely, spotlessly clean. The restaurant was lovely although chairs could be more comfy, food and service both excellent. The leisure club was also brilliant, only niggle there was the lockers not having functioning locks. Overall absolutely gorgeous hotel and really lovely stay.

Great location in pretty seaside town. Room very clean and spacious. Biggest drawback is there’s no parking for checkin or dropping off your luggage. They put picnic tables on the parking spots in front of the hotel where one would normally park to check in. This made for a very stressful checkin as their was no parking anywhere near the hotel.

The hotel was a little out of town but on the town bus line - 5mins in and very affordable- 2 euros each way. The facilities including restaurants and bar were so welcoming. There was plenty of parking included. Cost was reasonable.
