This hotel is sooooo nice would highly recommend, rooms have lovely features, 4 poster beds, chaise longs, great food, very polite staff, treated like royalty. Would definately go back if we can afford it !

very polite staff friendly reception at first but later on noticed a disliking to children . we stayed here with our son and while in the bar were approuched by the manager and told to keep it down as our son was laughing , besides ourselves there was only one couple in the bar and to be honest he was not laughing loud at all , to top it off the manager told our son to sit up straight . nice place if you like to walk around with a poker up your [--] and hate kids otherwise stay well clear!!!!

While the room was nice, we had some definite problems with this hotel! If you go, know that they lock the main gate at midnight, so if you stay out late you need to let them know. They also make you leave your room key at the front desk every time you leave. Apparently this is to help them know if you are in, but when we received a phone call, the caller was told we were out when we were not! We had requested a king bed and were given a queen, When we questioned this (since the unoccupied room next door had a king) we were told that the bed in our room was a king! It definately wasn't. We were also told that there would be NO connection fee to use our phone calling card. When we were presented with expensive connection fees on our bill the following morning and questioned the front desk clerk, he became VERY snippy with us and ushered us to the door! They didn't even have maps of the city to help us get around!! This was the only hotel/person in Ireland who left us with a bad feeling!

I stayed here for one night on a business trip. It is a very nicely decorated hotel in a 'big house' style. My room was large and pleasant. The staff were friendly and the hotel was very quiet during my stay although at the time there were very few people staying there. The only disappointment was the breakfast which did not live up to the description on the hotel's website of its great restaurant. and the attention given to home produce. Another point which may be of interest: the hotel website claims to adjust rates for single travellers but this was not done in my case.
