The hotel itself was fabulous, staff were amazing and we were able to check in a little bit early. It’s in a really good location near Christchurch. The only draw back is that since it’s so close to the church you can really clearly hear the bells at every hour and half hour. The street is also very noisy at night with cars and people walking home from pubs and the walls are kind of thin. The room is really nice though and the bathroom with the heated towel rack was a plus. 24hr front desk was really nice, especially for our 5:30 am check out time. Staff made everything very quick and easy for both check-in and out and the luggage drop was a god send.

This hotel is run down & the cleaning people are not helpful. We asked them 2 days to please come back in 30 min when we were leaving and they wouldn't come back. There was one friendly lady at the desk and one man & that was about it

Small room with only a skylight way up for natural light. Double bed against wall made it extremely difficult for us to get into bed at night. Sink was clogged for most of the days, asked for helped multipe days and finally someone unclogged it. Asked for minor room cleaning - new towels, trash emptied, body wash/shampoo filled - we were told housekeeping is only there from 3:00 to 4:30 - so it would happen when it would happen and we had to wait at a table until it was done. We are not messy people and pick up after ourselves everyday making sure everyitng is put away - and we were told we must have had some stuff on our bed is why our room was only partially made up on one day. Hair dryer button had to be held down in order to work, and then it heated up so I had to wait for it to cool before drying my hair. Was told that this was a standard hairdryer for the UK, but we didn't have one like that at any of the other 6 locations we stayed at in the UK. Location was great for walking to many of the area attracting including the train station and the locations where we met with two of our tours. Breakfast was stale and cold- pancakes and eggs.

We were pleased with the hotel, and their staff met all our needs with a pleasant and helpful attitude. Two slight comments to others. One is that there are two sets of short steps to reach the lobby. For anyone with difficulty with stairs this may be a consideration. Our room, while nicely done was tight for the three of us. Overall, we would stay again..

Great rooms albeit a bit dated. Room was very quiet despite being very close to temple bar area. Like most places in Ireland there was no ac so the fan was a must even in September. Was a bit noisy with the window open but once closed slept quite comfortably

Centrally located, everything was walkable. Quiet, but some nights there was music from bar down the street and it’s close to Christ church so you do hear the church bells (I found it very nice). The noise didn’t bother us at all, nor impact our sleep. The superior twin room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was everything we needed! I would stay here again and recommend it to others.
