Just back from a weekend at "the house". Booked hotel purely on tripadvisor reviews & was not disappointed.
All staff are extremely pleasant & seem genuinely happy to see you, we were offered assistance with our baggage & receptionist was aware that I had booked hotel for our anniversary & was quick to congratulate us, a nice touch. An even nicer touch was the bottle of complimentary wine in our room!
If you can afford it, go for the "classy" room. Nice and spacious on the top floor. Rooms are v.nice, internet access through television & all the usual facilities you'd expect. Frosted bathroom door not a problem for us, we are married after all!
Breakfast is fantastic, you have to try the pancakes & bacon. The buffet was plentiful & all fruit was available, even at this time of year. We had strawberries & yoghurt to begin & before we sat down the waiter had removed the bowl to refill it, even though there was still plenty in it. Refreshing to see. We dropped in at lunch to leave some shopping bags & refresh, the bars lunch menu is v.good & we were pleasantly surprised. Before heading out for the night we had a quick drink at the bar & nuts were immediately made available to us, usually you have to pay for them in pubs across Ireland.
Location is fantastic, just a short stroll to the main bar area (Spanich Arch) in the city. Parking is not on-site but location isn't too far away & free so not an issue really.
All in all a fantastic hotel which we will be back to early in the new year.
