Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The beds were saggy and the mattress was uncomfortable. The pillows were paper thin. There was no water pressure in the shower. There was no toilet paper holder. There was no wash clothes. Hotel did not accept payment from Expedia and had to pay in local currency. There was no heat control in the rooms. There was no complimentary water in the room when we arrived. Overall the hotel is very dated. I would not recommend this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Once we passed reception, the air was so thick with aerosol disinfectant, I had trouble breathing. It was a large and probably at one time very impressive hotel, but the carpet in our room was so dirty my clean socks were soiled in an hour of walking about in our room. Shower had new tiles on the walls, but the floor was disgusting. The grout between the floor tiles was speckled black with mold or mildew, and the shower drained so slowly you had to stand in a puddle of mold the whole time. No hand towels, no washcloths, just one thin bath towel barely larger than the bath mat, per guest. The twin beds were squeaky but okay. Two very thin pillows per bed. I appreciated the free breakfast, which was okay. Staff not rude but not very friendly. It seems like a difficult place to work, as well as stay. Great location.

No able to book in until 4pm which turned in to 4.20as we were only staying for one night had no time to use amenities and found dirty laundry from previous guests under dressing table so room was obviously not well cleaned For over £200 per night it was not satisfactory. The hotel needs updated and a good cleaning won't be back or recommend to anyone

This place was an absolute disaster. One star is far too generous, but it’s the lowest I can give. From start to finish, everything about this stay was unacceptable and for the price, it’s an absolute scam. We arrived to an empty reception with no staff in sight, which already set the tone. The restaurant shuts at 8pm, which is laughable for a hotel pretending to be “international.” The room itself was in a shocking state run-down, stale smell, poorly maintained, and not even something as basic as a hairdryer provided. The night was the breaking point. It turned into a complete nightmare. There were people screaming and shouting in the hallway until 2am, to the point where the Garda had to come and intervene. No control, no security, no respect for guests. Getting any sleep was impossible. For a hotel, this is simply disgraceful. Breakfast was just as bad, if not worse. I arrived at 9am and there was already almost nothing left and absolutely nothing was being restocked. It felt neglected and chaotic, with more cleaning products lying around than actual food. To top it off, I asked for an espresso and was told I had to pay extra. At that point, it just felt insulting. I genuinely regret ever booking this place. This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. I will never return, and I strongly advise anyone considering it to stay away at all costs.

Need new beds (mattresses were warn with broken springs) and shower enclosures need updated. Also the first floor windows have little to no security when open (no air conditioning) and can be opened completely if someone was seeking to enter your room.
