Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Old Quarter Townhouse is praised for its central location, convenient for accessing shops and restaurants. Guests often highlight the large, spacious, and comfortable rooms, some even equipped with practical amenities like coffee makers. The proximity to the adjacent bar is a plus for some, although others have noted that noise from the bar can be excessive, especially on weekends, with music sometimes continuing until late. Convenient parking is available next door in a multi-story car park for approximately €10 per day.

friendly staff top class food secure parking

I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served at the table with top class food. I appreciated the indoor car park with a security office right beside the hotel it cost only €10 overnight it was reasonable.

The room was really warm even in Irish weather. There was no ventilation at least on the top floor rooms. The only way to get some air was to open a small window then party seagull and traffic noise disturbed sleep.

Acceptable, but some issues present

excessive noise limited storage

The location IS central, close to many shops and restaurants.

I stayed in a room where the noise from the bar downstairs was excessive. The music was VERY loud, and it made it difficult to sleep. The room also lacked sufficient storage space for clothing.
