Rooms were very comfortable and clean. It is a great place to relax as the hotel has lovely gardens and a view of the sea. Highly recommended

24/06/2025: The owner was remarkably rude and openly disdainful towards American tourists specifically. Scoffed at my request to use my own cup in front of a room of 5 other men implying he didn’t want to touch the lid or have it under his machines— fair enough I suppose. From there he gave a distinct air of self-importance that was honestly laughable. He’s not a waiter in Paris ffs, he’s slinging coffees and cakes in Waterford. La-di-dah, sure mammy is very proud. Note to the man himself: if you’re as unpleasant with other patrons as you were with me, that’s why you’re not getting tips. Don’t assume you’re any better than anyone else either, self exceptionalism is what makes Americans so annoying and frankly, you reek of it. Hypocrite. The coffee was fine though. Thanks.

17/06/2025: Great place, just right amount food for lunch and reasonably priced. Sandwiches, coffee and dessert was excellent.

27/05/2025: Hotel is located along a busy road, you have no further inconvenience. Nice rooms with good breakfast in the morning. Cozy bar where you can also eat. You can park your car in the large parking lot at the hotel.
