Very large twin room, spotlessly clean. Large en-suite with a waterfall shower.
Breakfast was exactly what we wanted at an affordable price. We both had hot porridge with sliced Strawberries and sliced Bananas plus tea and coffee (refill as often as you like). Also had a side of toast and butter. The bowls were a decent size and we didn't want for more.
Bus to the airport and to city centre from right across the road (Number 41)
Coming from city center or airport the stop is a 5 minute walk away at the other end of main street.
Checking in was a bit of bother - I ended up in the bar queueing up with people ordering meals and drink. When I eventually got to be served I was told to go to the end of the counter and someone would come a help me - which he did. I think checking in could be handled better - minor gripe.
The carpet is a bit old and tired looking - but clean so this is a minor gripe. Considering the price, this is a very minor gripe.

Excellent value for money. Nice clean, comfortable room.
Housekeeping staff were extremely noisy. Standing outside rooms chatting and laughing very loudly at half 9 in the morning while we were trying to rest after a late night.

The tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
The bathroom - although they could also provide shower caps and a toothbrush holder.
No reception - no check-in desk! Having to check-in at the bar was a total shock. If I had of known this before hand I would not have booked to stay at this hotel.
Room was a total disappointment with no window and only a skylight type window in the ceiling.
The springs on the mattress were gone - sad that the mattress was like a memory type shoe!
Carpet although "appeared" clean it had a musty smell.

Central location
No breakfast included so the price was overly expensive

Had to check in at the bar . Staff were not friendly. Came down for food and waited 15 mins so I left and went down the town for food . Went for breakfast in morning and staff was not friendly and they had no health options on like fruit so left with out any breakfast. I will not stay again and I would not recommend it

For being a tiny hotel, everything went well and our check-in was smooth and trouble free. We came in a wee bit early but they were more than willing to let us check-in then (like only 30 minutes). Room was comfy and well equipped. Shower was amazing. Dining was handy.
Unless you are a local or been here before, you could be sitting at a table waiting for service with non to come. We didn't realize you had to order food directly at bar. This got hectic around the supper hour as the bartenders were swamped with drink orders and trying to handle food orders as well. It would be wise to "designate an area" for food to help ease the pressure during busy eating hours. Food quality was adequate. Cost was low compared to most food establishments in and around the local area but the quality matched the price. It wasn't bad food but it definitely had an "after thought" feel. Drinks - #1 priority. Food - #2 or 3 priority.

Room was very comfortable and clean and quite
Parking is a bit of an issue to the front of the accommodation but that's because of its central location

Located in a very convenient part of town only 15 minutes drive from airport. Parking out front. Great variety of food and drink. Rooms very clean, beds comfortable and clean. Bathroom good size.
No shampoo or conditioner in bathroom. There is no lobby, you check in at the bar.

Close to the airport
Bathtub wasn’t clean (there were hairs in the tub). We had to clean out the bathtub before using it.

We stayed for 3 nights and had booked months in advance. The room we were given had the industrial size fans out side that never switched off and then on Friday & Saturday night the local club was open and we had to listen to the music until 2.45 am , followed by the customers leaving the club.
I was told there were no other rooms we could be moved to.
In my view this room ( i think there may have been others) should not be used on these nights as I did not get any sleep.

Room was next to a loud kitchen extractor or air conditioning unit which ran all night and made it impossible to sleep. Very poor

The room was nice
There wasn't wi-fi and it wasn't fixed for more than 24h. As I it was a business travel, I wasn't able to use the wi-fi.

The staff were friendly.
Meal in the bar was very poor quality but inexpensive. The car park is very small, we were very lucky to get a space. The blinds in the room were broken. The water pressure/ shower head was inadequate and the water temperature extremely hot and not adjustable. The bed was quite hard.

All went well other that the humming and banging outside our room all night. Food was really lovely and drinks were very reasonable. All the staff were really nice they could not do enough for us, Overall we had a great weekend
We had a beautiful room, But the banging from outside all night was like cooler room. We were away for a rest , but we could not stay in bed any longer than 6.30. My husband went to reception that morning and explained to a lovely lady called Jade, who got us another room, All was well after that.

Looked lovely online but unfortunately not the same in reality.
Hotel had a dirty smell. One room I booked was absolutely tiny with no window, no fresh air. The mattress was like a brick it was so hard. Only saorview channels. Dirty pillowcases, I rang reception for clean ones and they never appeared. Food was very bad. The only pro was the price and we met a lovely cleaning lady along the corridor who was very lovely to the children and gave them biscuits. The guy who checked us in was also very nice too and carried bags for me to the room. The room that was allocated to me was not cleaned and was full of cigarette smoke and rubbish so he got me another room almost immediately. Other than that this hotel/pub is not up to what the pictures show on the website. Also usually as a resident in a hotel we would have never had a problem with children having dinner and being around the bar area but we were asked to leave by 9 so we couldn’t order desserts which the children were very unhappy over.

VERY cheap drinks and food at bar on main floor.
Close proximity to DUB airport.
Advertised free parking; however, the very small parking lot was FULL. Alternative options not offered.
Odd that the bedroom didn't have a window (other than a sky light); however, not a bother to me.
