This was my first time staying at The Bosun Hotel, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. The hotel is very well located, offering a lovely view, and it’s beautifully decorated with a clear emphasis on cleanliness. You can tell the team puts a lot of effort and energy into maintaining high standards, with great attention to detail throughout.
One of my initial concerns was the fact that the hotel is right next to a bar and restaurant, both part of the same property. I was unsure whether this might affect the peace and quiet of the accommodation. The entrance to the hotel is completely independent, and there was no noise disturbance at all during my stay. In fact, the bar was quite busy on a Thursday afternoon, which seemed like a good sign of the quality and popularity of the place.
The room itself was immaculate, spotless and well-equipped with everything you might need, including a coffee set. The decor is tasteful and elegant, and every corner of the place reflects care and pride in presentation.
Do note that the hotel has four stories, with a lift reaching only up to the third floor, you’ll need to take stairs to access the top floor. Also, you may need to check in by speaking to a staff member in the bar if no one is at the accommodation entrance when you arrive.
Breakfast was excellent, served at a convenient time with friendly and attentive service. The staff appeared genuinely motivated and happy in their roles, which is refreshing to see in the hospitality industry.
If you’re planning to explore the surrounding area or visit the busier parts of town, it’s a good idea to have your own transport, though there seem to be buses running frequently nearby.
All in all, a great stay. Highly recommended!

Don't trust the allergen info on the menu, you need to ask! It's not very accurate.
I was told one of the desserts could be adapted to be dairy-free but it still came served with cream. The waiter's attitude was like, can't you just scrape it off and eat the rest??
No, I certainly can't with an allergy! Please train your staff better.

We stopped in for a bowl of Soup on the way home after a day out! The brown bread was so fresh and really tasty, the soup was potato and Leek however it was a little watery and not a strong taste of leek.
At €7 it was good for the bread alone!
