I found the breakfast times super generous. I think it was 7:00 to 10:30. There was always a seat available despite the place being fully booked, it was so easy. The staff were super kind! They told me the correct bus connection.
The blind in my bedroom wouldn't close on one of the windows. Light came in. My room was very cold! I found it hard to sleep, .

Charming Stay Near the University

convenient locationirish breakfasthelpful staffon-site parking
I found the location convenient, really. It was quite close to the university grounds. I loved the easy access. Breakfast each morning included a full Irish spread. I also had my fill of cereals and fresh fruit, what a treat! The staff was helpful. I appreciated their willingness to assist with directions. I made good use of the on-site parking.
The room decor seemed a little dated.

The location was convenient with easy access to the city center.
I was disappointed by the condition of the room. The carpet was old and stained. It definitely needs replacing. The furniture also looked worn with the laminate peeling off the wardrobe door.
