The view alone was worth the price (which was also good). All the staff were very friendly too. The breakfast provided was great. It's in a quiet area but also not a bad walk to get to whatever else you need.

Loved our stay here! Staff were nice, friendly and helpful! Breakfast was great! If there’s one gripe, I have to say was that the shower head in our bathroom was leaking hard so we needed to tone down the water so as not to have the water get out of the shower enclosure, otherwise the bathroom would have been flooded . But other than that, our stay was terrific and I highly recommend this B&B.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was in Room 2. The cleanliness in the bathroom was bad. Shower area had NUMEROUS places with black mold. We did not notice the mold until in the morning after daylight. When we took a shower the water seal on the shower leaked out on the floor. The flooring is tile and appears to be buckling up on the edge of the shower pan. The transition from the bathroom to the room is unfinished. I took photos to support my claims and will produce copies of the photos if requested. Parking is a situation where if you get a spot you are lucky.

One night stay for GAA match

Very nice place to stay, on Arrival room was quiet cold and had to turn on rad. Forgot to turn off and room went to other extreme at nighttime. There seemed to be only one setting. We had selected this place partially because of breakfast included but in the morning we discovered that it was on continental breakfast and hot breakfast was an extra charge. Now the hot breakfast was good quality and value. Other than these small things it was very cosy, friendly spot to stay and great location for matches in either Celtic park or the brandywell.

La chambre et les sanitaires sont propres et bien décorés. L'hôtesse est très gentille et serviable. Par contre... Chambre très petite, difficile d'y poser nos 2 valises ou de se croiser. La salle de bains de la chambre 4 ne correspond à aucune des photos. Elle est minuscule. L'évier de 20 cm de large est logé entre la douche et le mur. Impossible d'y entrer les épaules pour se brosser les dents. Le sèche serviette est collé aux wc, ce n'est pas très hygiénique et impossible d'y mettre les 2 geands essuies. Ventilation de la salle de bains bouchée par la poussière. Insonorisation très mauvaise. On rntend les ronflements des voisins. On n'a pas été prevenus qu'on devrait monter nos valises aux 2eme etage par l'escalier. Quant au parking ... il faut se garer dans la rue si on a la chance de trouver une place tout près.

Good, but noisy building

The stay was nice, people were helpful, but the noise level in the hotel is high. The walls are incredibly thin and the front door is used constantly by staff starting at 6:45 in the morning and slams shut every time. It was incredibly loud and disruptive.

Beautiful view of entire city from bar & patio!

Excellent location to avoid city center, was very quiet, small room but had everything you need, short very do-able walk to city centre, staff were all very kind and helpful, on-street parking but was not a problem getting a spot. But even better than all of that for us was the bar and patio in the back. So cozy and beautiful with a spectacular view of entire city. And at night the view is stunning with city lights.

Langt under forventet

Parkeringen som på nettet er fremstilt som tilgjengelig, består av offentlig gateparkering hvis du har flaks og finner det. Rommet var stort sett grei, men helhetsinntrykket blir svært dårlig når det stinker kloakk fra badet natt og dag. Fellesarealene og frokostområde er så trangt at man nesten ikke får snudd seg. Personalet var hyggelige og gjorde så godt de kunne. Hadde hotellet kostet halvparten så kunne det kanskje vært akseptabelt. Fortjener ikke over 1, maks 2 stjerner.
