The staff were super friendly, the room was clean and the breakfast was good (good for a 2-star hotel). The price was a little high for what they offer, could be due to the high demand time.

Location is pretty good but condition of the hotel is not great. Also only have one type of soap dispenser in room with really strong soap that isn't good for your skin. The tea kettle was also questionably clean. The lift also did not work when I arrived. Way over priced for what you're getting.

Probably will not go again unless refurbed.

Hotel is badly in need of a refurbishment. Hair dryer in room not only not working, but wiring frayed so therefore dangerous. Tried to ring reception for portable hair dryer and report fault only to find phone not working either. People on reception friendly and helpful also the cleaners.

Very central, overlooks beautiful canal. However, it's also a bit noisy from traffic - and from the adjacent Portobello bar/pub downstairs with loud crowds, disco and live music! Better for young clientele that an old single like me!

I wouldn’t say there was anything I liked. The first night we stayed our plugs in the room were not working so we were unable to charge anything in the room. We weren’t able to get another room untill the next day. Which ment we didn’t have a room from 11-4. The next room was okay. The key wasn’t working to begin with then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I would say over all horrible experience especially after paying €350 it was not worth it and very Disappointing. We also got told we would get a ‘ discomfort’ fee back but that never happened.

Staff was wonderful and helpful. And it wS surprisingly quiet. Property is tired. Reasonably clean. bathroom faucet was loose and bath tub not scrubbed (we did arrive early so housekeeping was rushed). Staff gave excellent off property restaurant recommendations. We’re fully booked.

Late check-in was friendly and efficient. The room itself was very comfortable, clean and in good condition; however the bathroom was probably due an upgrade with a faint smell of damp and tired fixtures and fittings. Breakfast in the bar downstairs was fine. The common parts were in the process of being redecorated to a good standard.
