- Excellent location, food, and staff
- Location was decent, right by downtown. Great tapas place across the street.

- Room was just overall bad experience. . Hands down the worst place I stayed in Ireland over my two weeks. Rooms were old and we're in severe need of regular upkeep and drastic renovation. Water pressure was poor in bathroom. Extremely noisy bar outside
