I found the room beautiful and the bed so comfortable. Breakfast had a great variety of cereals, breads, yogurt, fruit and a full Irish breakfast was available. The staff was very attentive during breakfast. I thought all was fabulous.

It was hard to get to sleep because our room was adjacent to the perch bar and I heard music playing.

Central location. Some service issues

long hairsburnt toast

I was really looking forward to breakfast. The first morning, the toast was burnt so i didn't eat it. the next day, i skipped breakfast because of this. check-in took a while, as the only employee capable of checking people in had apparently "gone to the shop". there was a long queue after 20 minutes, so it wasn't a great start.
