Close to the airport: Wish they had supplied a bottle of water in the room.

We cannot say enough good things about No. 1 Pery. We stayed in a heritage period style room...it was fabulous. It felt like we were staying in a B and B. The room was clean and quaint. The staff was fabulous- they offered so much help and advice, even helping us book some things to do. The food was fabulous- we definitely suggest getting the breakfast...the fruit and bread spread was fresh and delicious, and the hot plates were fabulous. We tried just about everything while there, and there wasn't a thing on the menu we could complain about. The onsite spa was amazing, too. While researching this trip, we read through some other reviews: 1) This is a boutique hotel, so yes, it does not have many "modern" amenities (gym, pool, A/C, etc.). If you want modern, look somewhere else...otherwise, you will be absolutely delighted with your stay. 2) It is in the city, so yes, there will be noise from the city, especially if you sleep with the windows open (as we did). Where it is located, it does quiet down later in the evening once the sun goes down (which is later than we were used to). Frankly, we found the birds to be more of a nuisance than the sounds of the city. Overall, we slept well the whole time there. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the western part of the island...there's even a train station a few blocks away so you can hop a train to just about anywhere. Overall, No. 1 Pery was fabulous. We highly recommend staying here- we certainly will again.

The staff was amazing- super friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself was beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel!

The charm of this hotel was evident in its unique balance of antiquity and modern essence. This was an ideal place to spend the evenings after full days of enjoying the beauty and splendor of our first visit to Ireland. The daily breakfast buffet was plentiful, and a good blend of Irish and universal fare. The proximity to a historic castle and quality shopping was a bonus! We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Walking distance to a grocery store which was very convenient after a long day of sightseeing

The property is in desperate need of a renovation. The exterior is cracked, peeling. The lobby looks nice but the rooms are old and worn. There is no soundproofing. We could hear our neighbors on both sides and doors slamming all night. The grout on the tiles of the bathtub was yellowed and there was soap residue from previous guests still on the tub. The play inn hours are not clear. We had a very disappointed 6 year old.
