i found the location quite useful, as it was not too far from the main attractions. There are also buses to and from the airport near the hotel.
quantity of beans served at breakfast was too LOW, but i think Irish people don't eat beans.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The building has a historic style. I had a lovely cooked breakfast.
My room smelled like sewerage at certain times. I checked Google reviews and found people commenting on it. I solved it by closing the bathroom door at night and opening the windows in the bathroom and the bedroom.
