    Value for money

The hotel's prime location just across the road from the university hospital was incredibly convenient for my hospital appointments. Additionally, being near the city centre made it easy to explore this vibrant city. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with clean and comfortable rooms that provided a relaxing stay. I also appreciated the availability of parking, which made it hassle-free to have a car during my visit. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, from accommodating a late arrival and arranging food to allowing me to leave my car in the car park after check-out for an afternoon scan. Moreover, the breakfast offered a variety of options to choose from, including a light selection.

Didn't dislike anything about the property.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the girl who checked us in. The room was newly renovated and super clean and comfortable. The location was convenient, being a 10-minute walk from the city centre and 5 minutes from the university. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a great bar and restaurant with nice food and a wide choice of cask ales. Additionally, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs, such as preparing breakfast in advance for us.

Nothing to complain about at all.

I had a fabulous stay at a cozy inn in this city. The quaint room was impeccably clean and had a charming atmosphere. Being adjacent to the pub was a unique experience, and it was so convenient to watch the World Cup downstairs. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, even making arrangements for an early breakfast. The location was perfect - just a 15-minute walk to the city centre and there was plenty of parking available.

Nothing at all.

We loved the real Irish atmosphere and the friendly staff at the hotel. The room was clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. The pub downstairs served excellent breakfast and delicious dinner. The hotel is within easy walking distance to the city centre, close to all amenities, and just across the road from the university hospital.

Everything was fantastic!
