If staying at this hotel you must book the inhouse breakfast which was an absolute bargain at 21 pounds for 2 people per day.

Very nice, helpful staff. Clean room, very comfortable beds. Lovely breakfast. As far as I'm aware there are no toilets on the ground floor, this would help people with restricted mobility or just old people like me.

This was a great experience from start to finish! We checked in at the bar below with James and he was so helpful with dinner suggestions amd a great bartender! The location is walkable to everything and the pub below has great drinks and even better Irish music! There is no parking but go to the Ormonde lot, it cost us 17.50 euro, and you can walk right around the corner to the Thosel. I would definitely recommend this place!

“Apartment” was totally undersold! Amenities included hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and adequate pots, crockery and cutlery. Also a washing machine, iron and ironing board. Everything to make it fully self catering if required. Surprisingly, in our experience, bins were emptied and fresh towels provided each day. Bed linen also changed mid way through our 4 night stay. Lounge sparsely furnished but this was to allow room for 2 fold down beds so that apartment could sleep 4. TV in lounge and in bedroom. Brilliant!

Good location across from the beach with a cute bar and nice restaurant. Windows are so thin and they started loading / unloading kegs and metal chairs at 6am. Also, the air conditioning didn't work. We had a helpful lady from the front desk come and try to fix it for us but it still never turned on.

Was a fun place to stay. Has a restaurant and several bars. It’s right on the beach. Room was clean. The only downside was parking. It was on the street and if you weren’t out by 8:30 am you had to pay.
