The best central hotel we ever visited before now, check-in was good. Its location was very central, 700 feet from Lynch's Castle. We had a really comfortable experience.

Good value compared to other properties, and beautifully clean. Everything was superb and we had pleasant enough time. The triple room was amazingly comfortable, super comfy bed. The hotel itself was in a tourist area. The lounge bar was spacious with some very good food. Service was efficient as we had expected.
