At the end of the street, walking distance about 12 min from train. Many restaurants walking distance, including a bar/restaurant on the property. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67f03174-9a55-41e0-8b3c-47641397e381-1746506451559.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e1fa0718-1531-46af-8bef-14a68f28a01d-1746506451899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ken Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michel 21 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay for one night The room was clean and staff friendly. ##### Michel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### cameron 29 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tiny room uncomfortable bed no parking as promised Difficult check in.

The rooms are neat and the area is perfect. Only one issue came up with the taxes of the hotel charge were 200.00 extra. But that’s something internally between the hotel and Expedia and I was able to get it looked at on my end. All was well. Great people. Most importantly they were kind and generous. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### lisa 30 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Of the 10 lodgings we stayed at in Ireland, this was the most unpleasant hotel we have ever stayed at. 1Advertised self parking came with a 10 Euro fee if available in their 6 car lot. 2.$200 deposit in the event we destroyed the room was never mentioned in hotel description 3. No lift to our upper floor room. 4 Television didn’t work and no help forthcoming from the desk. 5.Charm was a misnomer and Oscar Wild would be embarrassed. 6. Water view if you’re lucky to have one included looking past a storage area for garbage bins and other trash. 7. Restaurant was seriously sub standard. 8 The mattress was thin, cheap and uncomfortable. 9. Overpriced for the substandard fare. Save your money. Oscar Wilde would. ##### lisa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 17 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel The hotel was lovely with different options for food and drinks.
