We did not order breakfast. So does not apply. Overall, very friendly and efficient and honest. Bill dropped a Euro 50 on the floor at our table. Daniel brought it to us and slipped it under the door. Much appreciated. Nice place. Great people.

Maddens listened to our requests and fulfilled them to the T...from choice of room to choice of table for dinner to recommendations for drinks. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Richard

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The weather was hot and no Air Conditioner, so we left the window open. There was a strong odor that made it hard for both of us to sleep. Also, on Expedia, we signed up for a full breakfast. When we arrived, the hotel said it had no record of our request for breakfast. We ate dinner at their restaurant. The food was good, However, it was the only restaurant that we found in Ireland that put a Mandatory Tip (10%) on the bill for our meal. Otherwise the property was quaint and comfortable. The staff was friendly.

The welcome was very friendly. The staff were very helpful. We were allowed to check out a little later because my granddaughter had been riding and needed a shower before leaving. The only downside was the other bedroom doors slamming at 2am and a row between guests but overall really nice experience.

Bed was very very worn out and thus uncomfortable (and small). We had wanted twin beds but these twins were exceptionally small.

There was no one available to let us into the room when we arrived. There was no hot water the first night though it was working fine the next two days. The internet connection is terrible. The room is so small I could barely get past my spouse.

This is a strange hotel. It's above a bar (never again) and very old. The manger showed us to our room and said I know it's really loud because of the surfing festival, but I promise you that our music will shut off promptly at 10 pm. The bass from the music was making our walls vibrate and shake. For 60plus travelers-not good. 10:30, place was still packed and blasting music. I call, manager says he sorry, but hopefull will stop soon. It did but@ 11pm, but quickly fround out that every noise anyone makes carries through the whole place. Couple arguing at 5:30 am, toliets that I think are old incenerator ones! My GOD, I couldn't wait to get out of there! They added a few updated items -cool mirror. Thats about it. They post signs all over the place that booking .com gives them 9/10-I call bull sh**!

I was unsure about this stay when I first saw it as it looked like a pub but was pleasantly surprised! The host was awesome and the room spacious, attractive and very clean. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent! Bathroom was tiny but well-appointed. E had a great nights rest and a beautiful view!
