Booked through easytobook website so only found out on arrival that there's a €2.50 card fee. There's no lift, only narrow stairs. The room was small, shabby and in need of refurbishment but was clean. Bed was okay and although the toilets are shared there was a shower.and basin in the room. Room overlooks a busy street so is quite... More

Breakfast was nice, full irish fry and tea toast and cereal and was included with the price of the room. Staff were helpful and I was able... More

We stayed here on a tight budget, for the price, we were happy with the place, close to the city, staff were friendly and helpful, breaky was nice and filling, shower was small, not much pressure, but it does the job. Clean towels, facilities and sheets, room was serviced everyday. We stayed on the top floor, there are some stairs,... More

Not really much to say about this place, just that when we arrived we were greeted by a man who was kind of unhelpful with regards to why he was using our debit card again. The hotel smells strongly of frying and smoke, and looks tatty, but it's warm and clean. There are 3 flights of stairs and no lift,... More

But not when Im expecting more as from the photographs and description. We booked online and were happy with our cheap deal, as... More

On first arrival the place looks like your typical B&B, that is until you get to your room. The room (112) was very small, the bed was so rickety that rolling over in the night was only carried out if you were feeling brave, the one upright of the bed was so loose there was a 1/2" gap between it...

The walls are dirty, the carpet is stained, no light in shower, noise through thin windows off a busy street, small breakfast selection, hot stuffy rooms at night with no temp control, small double bed, smoke smell in hall. Just wished we had done room check and price check before we stayed really. Most of the staff are nice though. More
