Now I know what is meant by a hidden gem. This hotel has to be my favourite yet. Some say needs modernization though I say no. Loved this hotel the minute I stepped inside. We had to visit the hospital for a procedure and himself couldn't drive for 24 hours so decided on a 2 night stay. Arrived early, 7.30 am as we decided to leave car in hotel carpark and taxi to hospital. Such a pleasant receptionist, checked us in there and then as wasn't too busy and room was ready. The room was clean, bright and perfect, overlooking the river, the bathroom, a little bit tired maybe but clean. Bar food really nice, breakfast, didn't know where to start. Selection of foods was great and they had the Clonakilty yogurts, OMG if you like yogurts you need to try these, yum - my only negative was the croissants, they weren't nice and flaky. Such pleasant and friendly staff (not 'its my job to talk to you' staff) . Would I stay here again? Absolutely and I would highly recommend it.
