We stayed in two family rooms with 6 kids and 2 adults altogether. This hotel has been in business since 1747 and we were thrilled with the history, the coziness of the hotel, the staff friendliness is second to none. And the breakfast was incredible. We were pleased. Obviously renovated for modern conveniences, but I felt like it was a vintage boutique inn and I loved it and would definitely stay again.

The hotel is currently very ‘tired’ looking. However, the amazing staff more than make up for this. The rooms were very warm and spacious. Plus as it’s in the centre of town, it’s next to everything.

We had a wonderful stay at Dooly's. The staff members (in all areas) were the friendliest, nicest, and most helpful that we have EVER experienced. The food was absolutely delicious and servings were plentiful (breakfast and dinner). Regarding the rooms, the decor and facilities were simple and straightforward, which was fine, and the shower had great pressure and the bed was comfortable with several soft but supportive pillows. Such a wonderful, welcoming experience!

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec 1 lit simple et 1 lit double et finalement nous sommes retrouvés dans 1 chambre avec 2 lit simples. La chambre était vetuste, vitre fendue, poignée de porte branlante, etc... Un peu éloigné des photos présentées. Par contre l'accueil était top, le pub offre une très bonne nourriture et le petit déjeuner est copieux et de qualité. Mention spéciale à Sofiane pour son accueil, sa gentillesse, et son français parfait !

Zentrale Lage in Birr

Lage des Hotels mitten im Ort an einer Durchgangsstrasse, daher relativ laut. Das Zimmer war sehr abgewohnt, im Bad und neben dem Frisiertisch nirgendwo eine Steckdose zum Föhnen. Der alte Röhrenfernseher hatte nur einen Sender. Frühstück war ok, Service bemüht und nett.

Pity about the "music"

On arrival the receptionist told us about the night club, but assured us that our room was far enough away so that we wouldn't hear it! The "music "started late evening and finally I rang reception about oneish to find out when it would be over, and was told 2am, I was offered a change of room but it didn't seem worth it for an hour, eventually the "music" ceased but then the revellers gathered below our, single glazed, window so it was after 3 before we had some peace. The only thing we could hear was the continual beat of drums, and did not hear any actual music, but the drums rocked the beds. If we were far enough to be unaffected I dread to think what anyone nearer did about sleeping. The food was good the staff were pleasant and it is a pity that the noise spoiled an otherwise enjoyable break in a very comfortable hotel. Next time I will go mid week and not on a Saturday!
