The service was excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff. The dining was generally good quality but could have had larger portions. Facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel had very nice rooms with a great shower and a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but the room temperature was a bit too warm until late afternoon. The location was very good, making it easy to find alternative bars and restaurants within a short walk. The dining experience was wonderful overall, but there was an issue with getting chemical water instead of regular water. The hotel had excellent facilities, and the overall value for money was good.

The hotel had big, very clean rooms with onsite parking and friendly staff. A quiet stay unlike the nearby pricier Cabra Castle. The room was warm even with the window open and had poor dated decor.
