Our Reviews
Great City Location Travelled as part of a group of 5. Just as advertised room on top floor as requested. Very comfortable bed and a great shower. Room did get warm at times but large fan already provided in room. Great location just off eyre square. Very clean and comfortable room. Could hear the alarm on the lifting barrier from the bus depot just up the road for a few seconds from early morning but went right back to sleep. Lovely breakfast the following morning. Discounted car park located 5 minutes away in the shopping centre €16 per 24 hours. Helpful staff checked with housekeeping when a member of the party thought they had left glasses behind thankfully located elsewhere. read more
Great old hotel with really good breakfast. The parking was hard to find since all downtown streets are one way. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Glorious old bar and the breakfasts were hot and delicious. Centrally located with lots of great pubs and shopping. Room was small but enough for our needs. Fine hotel. read more
