I would not recommend this hotel as our room was filthy - it stank of stale smoke and the bathroom had not been cleaned - especially the toilet! It was a disgrace. Also the bedding was not very clean either. I had breakfast brought to the room which arrived without the correct cutlery! I had one teaspoon to stir my cup of tea and then use it to eat my boiled egg too!!!

Our room was warm, clean and tidy, the staff were very helpful and friendly. We were there for a concert in the national concert hall which is about ten minutes easy walk away. We really enjoyed our stay and will definately be going back there again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We enjoyed being in a location right in the centre of town, close to the shops, restaurants and bars. (just around the corner) The hotel was nicely furnished and above all the beds were more comfortable than a lot of hotels I've visited. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed having a nice irish breakfast in a comfortable setting. All in all very good value for money and we will definitely be making a return visit.
