Reviews

“Great hotel in a fantastic location. We got a complimentary upgrade due to it being our anniversary and had a beautiful view from our room. Breakfast was fantastic, great selection. Staff were mostly great, special shout out to the security guards who were all lovely lads. Can't wait to go back for another visit”

“Lovely hotel beautiful view of the river & close to the centre”
Rose
“It will be fantastic when the Shannon bridge is opened and when the hotel employs a grounds person to clean up the outside areas of the hotel. Moss, leaves and mud in car park. Outside windows and some walls covered in green mould. Staff and breakfast are excellent.”

“The hotel was clean bedrooms large and clean the bar was a different story they had no gas for Guinness I waited 20 minutes for barman to come and tell me they had no tomato juice for my friend and when we ordered food when it came it was cool like the bar staff didn't know what they where doing just need a bit more training so I'll give it 7 out of 10”

“Check in was a disaster -my advise would be prepared for a long wait. However ,having said that I could only praise everything else. The bedroom was immaculate -we did have issue several times with our card not accessing the room door but reception changed it immediately for us each time. The room was bright & airy & there was a retractable clothes line over the bath which was great for swim gear. Only comment re that bed was that it was 2 singles pushed together ,so, if you were misfortunate enough to roll over to the joining during the night ,it was raised & also opened & you ended up in a hollow space -simply needs a matress topper to rectify this. The highest praise has to go to the breakfast menu -worthy of any 5* hotel -great choice ,all fresh & accommodating to both continental & Irish breakfast as well as dairy free options. We were extremely impressed & the staff were professional & helpful.”
