    clean room
    helpful staff
    proximity to boardwalk

    I stayed 1 night in a Single Room. The room was comfy, a bit small but expected that. Staff helped me with my suitcase up the spiral staircase. It's a short 20-minute walk to the city center. Coffee and tea facilities are in the corridor ☕

    comfy beds
    super clean
    noisy mornings

    Yes, it was snug, but super clean with comfy beds. Loved being close to the ocean and local cafes. Didn't even miss breakfast! Just a bit noisy in the mornings and check-in could use better timing info.

    comfortable bed
    luxury toiletries
    noise from nearby bars

    I stayed 1 night in a Small Double Room. The bed was so comfortable, and the room was super clean and stylish. They had luxury toiletries and even a sleep kit waiting for me, a nice touch. Only downside was that the room was a bit small, but honestly, it worked fine for us. Plus, the location made it easy to explore nearby bars and restaurants after dinner!

    The hotel is clean and small. I loved the perfectly appointed and fairly quiet rooms. The staff is incredible. The room was very comfy with an exceptionally comfortable bed. The venue is in a very central location really close to a downstairs restaurant and Salthill. I ate at the tapas restaurant near the venue. Meals were well presented.

    The hotel has a very central position close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Pubs and restaurants are conveniently located nearby. I stayed here for 2 days and definitely want to stay in that area again.
