Service and breakfast pretty disappointing
Good location, limited parking and non included with the staying. Dated room Shocking breakfast. Very limited choice so we went for the poached eggs. Boiled eggs were served instead. We made the waiter aware those weren’t poached eggs but boiled eggs. He said “they’re just harder”. Yeah right. We asked for yogurt and granola instead and they charged us nearly 20€ for those.

The number one point of this fabulous hotel is Raj and his staff. They will do anything to accommodate and I mean anything. The room is spacious and clean, the complimentary breakfast is just what you need on Ireland. The location and view is breathtaking, minutes from the train and buses. To underline Raj is terrific

The location was decent, but there were issues. The towel warmer in the bathroom was dripping water on the floor, which wasn't a huge issue. The biggest problem was the noise. On the first night we heard what sounded like someone moving furniture for hours above us. The second night, in addition to the furniture moving noises, there was loud dance music being played, I think at the restaurant on the property (we didn'tleaveour room to investigate). We barely got any sleep. Had we known that the place turned into a club on Friday nights, we wouldn't have booked.
