- Eoghan O'Neill 8/02/2021Hotel and room was clean and perfect but the real gems of the hotel are the bar and restaurant staff. Couldn't possibly make you more comfortable and are so personable. Really enjoyed our experience ❤read moreread lessdervalt 1/16/2023Comfortable, quiet, centrally-located. The hotel is in a great location, close to the train station and loads of restaurants and bars. It was quiet and comfortable, and hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaints are relatively cosmetic: the room decor was a bit dull/outdated and didn't reflect the boutique aesthetic. The bathroom door was heavy glass and didn't afford much privacy. Finally, the toiletries were a mishmash of different scente and suppliers.read moreread lessleitrim D 1/02/2023Excellent Great service
Great location..at the bottom of Eyre Square and close to bus and rail links. Discounted car parking in designated car parks close by.
Breakfast was so delicious and fabulous.
Wonderful staff, in every area of the hotel. F

Perfect location.
Friendly and professional staff.
The room we had was tiny, clean, with all comforts.
The breakfast is really good and with multiple choices, the full irish breakfast was amazing.
The only problem is: the walls of the rooms are thin, we could hear the doors slamming at night when the other guests returned in their rooms.read moreread lessEvatobin 7/11/2021Best hotel and chef in Ireland. Room was perfect location couldn’t of been better. Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

Location is just off Eyre Square and most city attractions are within walking distance. Parking is available at nearby car park which may be complementary depending on what deal you made on your booking. The hotel may be a bit more expensive than some rivals but we feel it was worth it.
The hotel appeared to be very well maintained and plenty of Covid precautions available, although it was a pity that the hand gel dispenser at the main door did not work at any time over the 3 days. First impressions!!.
Staff were excellent and most courteous, from the housekeeping lady that allowed me jump the Que for the lift when I was bringing in the luggage to the reception staff that sorted out my parking.
The room was spotlessly clean and very well presented, although we both got a bit of a stale air smell when we entered the room as if it had not been opened up for a few days. Maybe good in these Covid times but again First Impressions.
The room was serviced each day with fresh towels and a general clean up.
Breakfast was table service and excellent both in variety and quality as well as quantity. They must have very good kitchen staff because we ate in the hotel for lunch one day and each night also and the fare was excellent. Same menu each night but there was enough for us to sample a variety of dishes.
So overall a big thumbs up to the establishment and if we were visiting the City of Tribes again, we would have no hesitation in staying here again.read moreread less - Mauro 4/04/2018Staff was glad to help even though I just needed to get to the toilet.
