The check-in time is a bit late at 4pm, but you can leave the luggage at the reception and they give you a call when the room is ready. No air-conditioning, the room cools down for the night though.

Reviewed Aug 27, 2026Location was great and property was clean. The staff were pleasant and professional, particularly the restaurant operator, who was friendly and very pleasant to chat with.
This property was way too expensive (by far the most expensive hotel of our whole trip) for what we got. The room was ridiculously hot (at least 28 degrees, I would say), making sleep near impossible. I understand it is not reasonable to expect air conditioning given Ireland's climate, but there was only one wimpy fan available (probably from the 90s, actually), and, when we asked for a second, the hotel responded that it was their policy to have only one fan per room. AC may not be affordable for the business, but, surely, providing two fans -- or even one fan from the current decade that ACTUALLY works -- would be, especially when we are paying over $300 per night. Walls were also not sound proof.
8/10
Reviewed Aug 26, 2026The rooms were a good size and the beds were very comfortable. It was very clean, and rooms cleaned and towels replaced if needed everyday. There was a good selection at breakfast, my four year was delighted with the pancakes and coco pops.
The hotel is situated right on the quay unfortunately it doesn't have on site parking. There's a car park directly across the road with a daily charge between €5 and €12 depending on the day.
