Lovely place to stay staff were lovely,and the breakfast buffet was great,the staff kept an eye on things and refilled when neccesary,definitely would stay again
Reception was amazing , there was a GAA awards ceremony and we were offered ear plugs if the noise got out of hand. We were moved up a floor to help with noise reduction. All round an amazing experience

Hotel is beautiful. Chechen was easy. Staff friendly and accommodating. Restaurant was busy, food and service was good. Room/bathroom are clean. Bed a bit hard for my comfort and pillows are flat and hard.
When we got back to our room in the evening there was a motor bike convention on with extremely loud music which was pounding into our room. When i went to complainThe manager moved us up a floor and provided earplugs and apologised. Did did actually end up getting a good night sleep and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were also very friendly.
Everything was great. The hotel is old but well maintained and renovated. Staff was friendly and there was a lovely pub a few steps away with live music:
