We were really looking forward to our stay but were really disappointed. Firstly, it’s great location and staff are nice (tbh, it’s Ireland - everyone is lovely anywhere you go). But everything else was not good. From the reception confusion around our booking - they deactivated our room key mid stay and gave our room key to my family who were checking in - to a room which had poor ventilation, tiny toilets, no drainage in the bathroom, and not good breakfast. I’d probably say, find somewhere else to stay.

Lovely building - rooms were super and spacious. Staff were very helpful and worked hard especially at breakfast when it was very busy at times. Excellent áreas to relax in around the hotel. Great location opposite Eyre Park and near all the bars and restaurants. Parking in multi-storey near by. They have reserved areas for the hotel and reduced rates but wasn’t told about reserved areas when booking in which would of helped.
