Good but triple check late checkout request
Lovely lady on reception checked us in and the the room was ready about 20 minutes ahead of check-in time and it smelled so fresh and clean and asked to ensure that late checkout was noted .. but unfortunately when booking and paying for late checkout doesn't always go to plan. On last 2 occasions lack of communication has resulted in either calls from reception or knocks on door from house keeping..this needs to improve...

Out of the 3 hotels we stayed at around Eyre Square, my daughter and I agreed that this was our favorite. It’s quite large inside with a restaurant and a bar. Our room was a good size, very clean, and very comfortable. The location is right off the square and just around the corner from Shop Street. Super easy to get around and explore—a perfect central location. It’s close to the bus station, train station and a nice walk to the Aran Island Ferries. We loved it. The restaurant food, was fine, lots of variety, but not my favorite soda bread there. But there are tons of places and pubs right around that area to choose from.

We were traveling with friends and on the second day we were there we traveled out of town to see sights. Our friends received a call that their room flooded out from a broken pipe above them and they needed to return immediately. Our day was completely ruined as was their luggage and clothing with water and sheet rock. Hotels answer was to give a free dinner and try to wash clothing, nothing else, not even a free night, what a joke. Also to park our car we had to walk back to hotel, a 15 minute walk on some dirty streets!

Great location in city center. Parking is in Hynes Car Park a 7 minute walk to hotel. Discount given for hotel guests of 10 euros per 24 hours. Lifts were out of service during our visit but the staff was more than accommodating to help transport luggage to rooms if needed.

Great hotel, Maps & directions need updating
Overall, the stay was great. The staff were helpful, communicative, and friendly. The rates were reasonable. The location was the best thing about this hotel. Visiting during the Christmas holidays, the parking was a major issue. We knew to expect off-site parking, but the directions to the parking were nonexistent on the website and Google Maps (and Apple Maps) led us down a wrong turn, then a closed street, and then to a parking site that was triple the cost and at least triple the distance from the hotel. The hotel staff were friendly and encouraged us to a closer, cheaper location but the trouble we had navigating to the parking made us want to leave the car where it was for our stay. Water pressure was low, and the noise level was high, but those were the few issues we had. The breakfast was wonderful, and our overall experience was positive.
