I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was lovely with a fab balcony, but the dresser needed attention. The service was a bit hit and miss with one standout staff member, Clodagh, who was lovely. The location was just outside the city center but easily accessible, though organizing a taxi was simple. The dining experience was top quality, with the chef serving behind the counter. The hotel facilities were impressive.

The accommodation is located just outside the city with easy access to the city center, in a quiet area. The hotel offers top-quality food, but the dining service might need improvement. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is courteous despite occasional delays. The location provides walking distance to the town center, making it convenient for exploring. However, the sterilizing equipment for baby bottles needs attention.
