We booked breakfast included. After a week's stay we can really recommend any type of breakfast, whether it's a full Irish breakfast or the mini Irish breakfast, even the vegetarian and vegan options are delicious. But you are not tied to the menu, personal preferences are just as well fulfilled. The room, facilities and cleanliness were as expected. And the staff is really nice and accommodating.read moreread lessolive t 3/15/2022weekend away staff at this hotel are excellent, friendly and professional. Saoirse very friendly, helpful and managed the breakfast time very well. Night staff in bar also excellent and friendly. Staff at this hotel are a real bonus. Decor in bar/restaurant is lovely with kind of boho retro vibe. Hotel rooms are quite small. bed linen, duvet and pillows are a dream. bathroom a bit of a let down - no bath, fixture hanging off wall and I wouldn't be a fan of the opaque door that you couldn't actually close and didn't afford any privacy. Tea tray needs a bit of attention- very poor selection of tea/coffee etc, no biscuits and those awful jiggers of UHT milk. . it was a lovely touch to have prosecco and little chocs in the room - a lovely welcome. Hotel lovely and quietread moreread less
- Cora Hennessy 3/04/2022Phenomenal employees who make this hotel v special. It was absolutely excellent from Start to finish. Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent. We look forward to visiting again and thank you for making our stay so special.read moreread lessrorktk 7/15/2021Absolutely adored our stay Honestly the nicest staff I have ever seen in a hotel.

Recommended.read moreread lessniamh195 2/02/2023Winter Warmer Package My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for one night and enjoyed the Winter Warmer package.
The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.read moreread lessMary Boylan 4/04/2019Perfectread moreread less - Martina W 10/21/2022Short holiday Lovely hotel spotlessly clean

From the friendly welcome at check in where the very pleasant receptionist (from Derry) assisted us to move rooms to suit my preferences, the friendly and helpful breakfast server (from Laois) Dearbhla in the restaurant and the lovely Lisa who checked us, the staff are fabulous without fault. The bedrooms are clean and comfy with tea/coffee facilities, safe, hairdryer, toiletries and a television.
We had bed and breakfast with evening meal and everything we ate was delicious and well presented.
Parking was not on site but a few minutes walk to a multi storey car park and free parking with the card from the car park.
Location is perfect with a few minutes walk to the Main Street and within walking distance to most tourist sites.
