The room was fantastic, comfortable beds and great hot shower. No frig in the room but the hot water kettle and tea setup was nice.

A wonderful hotel experience

This was my first time staying at the hotel, and it was a great choice. The staff were attentive and friendly, the room was excellent, as was the food. The breakfast was simply the tastiest hotel breakfast I've had in a long time. Overall, a great stay.

8/10 Very good

I want to stay again!

The room was spacious and clean, and there was no room to spread out two large suitcases. There was also a supermarket and a fast food restaurant nearby, which was convenient. I was very grateful for the bathtub and electric kettle. However, I wanted a refrigerator. Was it possible that the dishes on the menu were free for breakfast? I didn't look at the menu carefully because I saw first that coffee was charged.

6/10 Good

More fore show then service

Acctually nothing wrong but not up to what I expect from a 4 star hotell. Everything is a bit dated, sloppy services, glasses and cups was not changed the first morning. Breakfest not made from start, reheated scrambled eggs, avocado toast that was made with guacamole not fresh avocado. A sticky note in coffee milk. Poor lightning in the toilet made almost impossible to shave. No saftybox..... I could go on regatding the non-exciting SPA but I will stop.
Gustaf, 3-night trip

Ni agua caliente, ni un triste café sin suplement

La recepción; chicas jóvenes sin más... Con ganas de que pase rápido. El restaurante, comida buena y servicio amable y profesional. El problema empieza cuando una pareja con un bebé de muy pocos días se infló a cervezas y acabó la policía. Eso nos causó molestias de espectaculo, ruido y pena por ese bebé. La habitación espaciosa y la mala suerte que la pareja que había al lado hablaban alto hasta la 1 de la madrugada. Cuando bajas al comedor con un "Desayuno completo" te encuentras con bimbo integral y blanco, jamón york, unas lonchas de queso que se levantan las 4 puntas cuando de secan, bollería croissant, cañitas y macedonia. Y yogurth diet. Ni infusión, ni café.Bajo petición y pago. No se puede poner un agua caliente para un te?? No se toma café en Irlanda? Me parece ridículo ,que cobren por eso.
