Charming Georgian Ambiance
irish breakfast perfect location
I enjoyed the full Irish breakfast each morning. The number 16 bus from the airport stops almost right outside the place.
Windows are wood and do not shut completely. I heard everything happening on the street such as people talking and cars.

mixed experience
sewage smell google review
the reception staff were friendly and helpful.
my room smelled like sewage at certain times of the day (i really don't know why!). i found multiple people had the same problem after checking google reviews. closing the bathroom door and opening the windows helped a little, but it wasn't a good experience to have such a strong smell during my entire stay.

Road-Facing Room Issues
street noise breakfast setup
The location was quite central, easy enough to walk to most places I wanted to visit.
My room faced the street and unfortunately had single-pane windows (I found this out the hard way). This resulted in significant noise, particularly from early morning buses, disrupting sleep. The included breakfast had an odd setup, with the continental options on a different floor than the cooked meals.

historic charm and cozy comforts
unique character comfy seating live music
i found the staircases fun to explore, each turn revealing unique character.. the hotel provided several comfy seating areas with books to peruse, a tranquil escape. i especially enjoyed the live music nightly in the pub, a good bonus. the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful .
i found the floors were a bit uneven, a small trade-off for the hotel's historic charm. this sometimes made navigating the hallways slightly challenging, especially with luggage.

A stay with some minor inconveniences
historic atmosphere charming sitting rooms helpful staff dated room uneven flooring banging noise
The hotel has a charming historic atmosphere. I appreciated the connected Georgian manor houses. Sitting rooms and staircases had lovely decor. I found the staff helpful.
My room felt a bit dated. I also noticed uneven flooring. I was woken early by a loud banging noise one morning. The noise repeated frequently for a couple of hours.
