creaky floorboardsdamp smell
The room looked nice initially but the floorboards creaked a lot. a strong damp smell was also present. i asked about switching rooms, but the staff said they were fully booked. This felt unhelpful. the room condition and service lessened the experience.

Charming stay near city center

The room has daily cleaning and towel change. I saw tea and coffee provided in my room. Breakfast offered good options. The staff seemed warm. I also noticed a bus stop right outside the hotel.
The hotel walls are very thin.
Location

The hotel is near many pubs. These pubs are popular with local residents. A bus stop sits right in front. Several restaurants are within walking distance. A short canal walk takes you to city attractions.

on site parkingsmall sausagesplastic wrapping
The on site parking was useful. They helped with a ground floor room because I am disabled.
The room was cold at night. I attempted turning on the heat, but it never worked. I had to wear my jumper in bed. The breakfast was small. Especially the sausages were not a normal size. A piece of plastic wrapping was on his black pudding, a shock.

the breakfast was spot on, it met my needs for a quick start to the day.
The noise from other rooms was awful. i could hear everything. It sounded like people were moving furniture all night! also, the bed was too soft and gave me a backache. I found it hard to get comfortable twice.

The breakfast was good (especially the Irish breakfast!). It included both continental and Irish options, allowing variety. The location was convenient with a bus stop right outside. I found it easy to get around. The staff were friendly. They were always ready to help with directions or information.
The soundproofing was poor. I could hear noises from other rooms which was slightly disruptive.

The breakfast offered a choice between a full Irish and a continental option, providing flexibility for different preferences. The hotel provided bus services just in front, also the hotel is located on a quiet street, with minimal noise disruptions.
Location
8/10
The hotel benefits from its location on a quiet, calm street, surrounded by trees and colourful house doors. A bus stop is available right outside the front door. It offers convenient access to the city center, approximately 30-35 minutes away.
