Best shower in Ireland
BEST SHOWER IN IRELAND! I have really thick hair so trying to get it clean can be tricky without fairly strong water pressure and their shower was AMAZING! The laundry service was very helpful too and at a reasonable price. Leave it with the front desk in the evening and they'll take care of it over night. I would absolutely stay here again!

Came with my granddaughter as my mother was in hospital and the service from the owners was exceptional. I'm very fussy where I will stay but will come back here again and have no hesitation in recommending the hotel or hostel to anyone
