9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

Although the other side of the River Shannon to the city it was only a short walk across the bridge. Unlike some other city hotels there not only was parking available under the hotel, but at the time we were there more than ample parking, albeit at a not insignificant cost. Our room was spacious, well decorated, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. The inclusive buffet breakfast was very good and we also had a meal one night in the hotel which was good too. A very smart hotel in a lovely city.

8/10 Very Good! (14 reviews)

Even though it was like a secret code to get through several doors the room was wonderful and the best night’s sleep I’ve had on my weeklong trip through Southern Ireland.
