We stayed in this so called 3 star hotel on the 13 september 2006.The room was tiny as was the ensuite. The bed linen was old and had cigarette burns on them.There was only one small towel per person and the breakfast menu was very limited.In Ireland this hotel would be considered a very low market bed and breakfast.I would not recommend this "hotel" to anyone i know.

I have travelled around the world for years but I never, ever seen anything like this. When we got to our room we burst out laughting as it was disgusting. Everything was dirty, old and worn. We did sleep with a terrible sewer stink. We can't comment on breakfast as we went elsewhere to look for somewhere clean. Do not stay here. If you stay, stay at your own risk.

The room was absolutely appalling, it was unbelievable, I didn't believe the previous review of how bad it was, but next time I will pay more attention to bad reviews. I also left and was charged for the whole stay. Stay Away!!!!

It is a shame that 1 star is the lowest you can give a hotel as this hotel is shamed by those with 1 star. I can't express in words how terrible my 5 minute (paid for much more) stay was at this hotel.
Climbing the stairs to my room, I started to get worried about the amount of dirt about, but nothing prepared me for what I was about to see. Upon opening the door to my room I came across a wall, in fact this wall was the extent of the room. Entering I noted I could touch three walls at the same time and could almost touch the forth. But the size was not the problem, the room was dirty, a layer of dust on the small cabinet where the phone rested. The Wardrobe/box was falling apart and there was grime and horrible insects crawling on the bed. All this for €120.
I asked for another room but none were available, so I had no choice other than to leave. They let me leave and gave me my things back, but still charged my card the money for my stay. I found this downright scandalous considering I didn't get what was shown on their website.

BEWARE I stayed in better places when I backpacked round Asia for 5p a night.

I wish I had my camera with me

This bare bones hotel is going under a much neededand noisy facelift.
Upon our arrival the few pieces of furniture in the room had a film of dust on them. The tiny bathroom was clean but difficult to manuver in.
The hotel staff was cold and unfriendly and seemed very put out at the smallest request such as directions or a restaurant recomendation. The one thing I can say is that the location is perfect for tourists. It is close by many attractions and great shopping. So if you don't need any sort of luxury then this is the hotel for you.
