Very good hostel type hotel
We had a private room which was very clean and had a comfortable bed and a decent shower room with toiletries. It's a basic hostel type hotel. It's well organised. There's a good continental breakfast buffet for EUR10. There's entertainment, games room and bar if you want it and it's not too noisy.

Surprisingly clean, friendly staff, and overall great location. Bus stops/train, the Jameson Distillery, restaurants, and a local grocery store are just a few minutes walk away. Highly convenient. Good experience. *In addition to the free storage lockers in your room, there's plenty of lockers available for rent below the bar for your luggage*
