    delicious croissants
    cozy atmosphere
    local pubs
    minor inconveniences
    clinking glass

    Oh, those chocolate croissants in the lounge are to die for! And the cozy atmosphere of our room just made us want to relax all day. Plus, being just a hop away from local gems like Billy Byrnes Pub and The Hungry Moose was a culinary delight!

    Had a hiccup with no hot water on our first morning, but staff sorted it quick. Also, being right over the trash area had its moments with a little glass clinking, but c'mon, we were above a bar! Everything else shined despite these small bumps.

    noise
    simplicity

    the room was far too simple, I woudl ve been thrilled with even a small table. Also, the noise from the bar at night was ridiculous. what's the point of a "guest accommodation" if I can't sleep. I nearly left a good review, but the lack of special treatment was a real let down.

    spacious room
    early check-in
    shower delay

    From skeptic to believer

    I was delighted to check in early and the room was larger than anticipated. A quick 5-8 minute walk took me to the river, making it convenient for exploring.

    The shower took a while to warm up, which was a minor inconvenience during my stay.

    smoky room
    non-functional internet

    Despite the welcoming ambiance, my stay was not without issues. The faint smell of cigarette smoke lingered in my room, which was quite off-putting, especially as the windows didn’t open for fresh air. Furthermore, I encountered a frustrating situation with the internet. it was non-functional throughout the night, and while the staff were responsive, I found it tedious to seek help at the bar downstairs when all I wanted was relaxation.

    Budget-Friendly Stay for a Night Out

    Perfect for a night out with friends! The location is ideal for enjoying local nightlife, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Just don’t expect a luxurious experience—rooms are quite dated, but it served its purpose well for our group.

    clean room
    comfy beds
    confusing parking

    The place smelled divine, rooms were spick and span, and beds felt like clouds! Plus, all the goodies like coffee and cookies were a delightful surprise. Perfect for wandering around, everything is just a stroll away.

    Parking was a bit of a puzzle—thank goodness for Jim's guidance! Honestly, if I had to park my brain, I’d probably still be confused!

    comfortable bed
    slow shower

    The accommodation offered excellent value for money with a very spacious room and the most comfortable bed. The location was superb, just a short walk to the train station and an array of bars and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable.

    The shower did take a little while to warm up, which was a minor inconvenience.

    cozy spot
    slow shower
    lacking table

    The room was really comfy and clean, felt like a cozy spot right above the pub. The beds were so soft, I almost wanted to stay in all day. I liked the lounge chairs too, but it could’ve used a small table. The shower took a bit to warm up, but that was just a minor issue.
