Rathowen Holidays from £161

Basic university accommodation, bed was small and short

Stunning hotel and a perfect location for shopping and sightseeing, rooms were spacious and clean. Would highly recommend.

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)

Location was amazing. But, the thermostat beeped 3 times every few minutes for days. The shower was tiny, I kept turning the water off with my elbow while showering. If you took a shower early in the morning to catch a full day tour the water was not hot. Later in the day it was very hot. When I booked I read that the rooms had washers and dryers. When we checked in we found out only 2 had them and it wasnt ours. We did laundry at a laundromat that ended up costing a $100 plus a taxi to and from. The refrigerator scraped the floor everytime we opened it. It wasn't quiet.

Staff was helpful & counties. Rooms updated & clean. Food choices were varied & good value. Rooftop bar & dining area was perfect for viewing surrounding area.
