Appalling
Absolutely appalling hotel. In need of urgent renovation as there were stains everywhere. Heating issues throughout the hotel, dirty, bathrooms without tiling, barely any water pressure so unable to shower. The HSE need to visit urgently and determine if this hotel is even safe.

Ok for the price
Did the job for one night . Decor is pretty awful grey black and sparkly! Spacious room would have been stunning over a hundred years ago not so glamorous now!

Snoke and weed
No reception, had to ring to get access code that didn't work. Loads waiting to check in. Heating way too high. Work up to the smell of cigarette smoke and weed all over the hotel

Not happy at all, false advertising, booked a double room was given 2 uncomfortable beds with a filthy chair in the middle, I have pictures. The room don’t look any closer to what’s they are advertising, maybe that’s their dream to get there but it will take them years. There was no hot water to shower in the morning. The hallway is filthy. Happy to share pictures if needed. The only good point was secure car park and the bedding appeared clean.

Room smelled like mold and decades of cigarettes, we reserved a room for 4 and there was no bedding for the extra bed and no staff to help us. We walked around the entire hotel looking for a supply closet, and all we could find was extra pillow cases so we had to bundle up with 10 pillow cases and all of our clothes to sleep. The water smelled like sulfur and wouldn’t get hot. There was a towel heater though so that was cool

Not great
Was expecting more for the money. Damaged heater. Accidentally pulled the bottom sheet when getting into bed to find stains ewwww.....
At 06:30 found out no hot water for shower..... Spoke to reception that evening ( very helpful) he gave me a key to the opposite room to use shower
Hanging plugs... Decor dated, parts of carpet threadbare.
Good WiFi though

One night stay
No drinks in room? But 1/2 bottle of scotch found in room, left by cleaner. Renovation ongoing, no food or bar available. Security deposit required, no receipt given, refunded on departure. Reasonable budget accommodation but needs updating.
