Love staying in this hotel. First time I've ever had an issue, asked for a double room got 2 singles beds pushed together, springs of the mattress dug right into my back. Above the shower all stained and black mould is starting to appear. Otherwise was no issues. Lovely staff.

Perfect for Weekend Rugby Break

In Dublin for the rugby. Excellent service with double room ready to check into at 11 am which we didn't expect. Room was top rate, clean and comfortable. We didn't eat in the hotel or have any drinks at the bar but couldn’t fault the staff or facilities.
