I am not naive and I know that many "hotels" in Europe are not what you would expect in America. It's very hard to find a KING bed in Ireland but this place had it so I booked a room. When I arrived, the room looked nice with a really big bathroom. However, the problem is that room 12 has a pocket door and it doesn't close entirely. I mean, there's a good inch or two on either side of the door, so it doesn't shut flush. The set up of this room has the bathroom directly in front (I mean directly in front) of the King bed. The room is small basically a King bed and a huge bathroom. Do you get where I am going with this. You can hear and smell everything that is going on in the bathroom when lying on the bed and there is nowhere else to be in the room so I would say that room 12 is only suitable for single travelers or travelers VERY comfortable with each others bathroom habits. I complained (and honestly the front desk staff get 5 stars - they were amazing) and was moved to the other King room 14. This room was fine but it has a motion detector so anytime you move, the lights come on BRIGHT. Again, if you are more than one person, the motion detector is going to put BRIGHT overhead lights on you anytime your partner has to pee in the middle of the night to that was annoying. Both rooms are not sound proof - both King rooms are on the ground floor and you can hear everything in the lobby and in the other room. They do not clean the room every day - they cleaned it once for my 5 night stay but they did empty the trash and bring fresh towels every day. Since the towels are small and not your typical hotel towels, that was necessary. They did make up the bed on my 5th night but did not change the sheets. The location is great - really close to stores and right in Eyre Square and as I said, the front desk staff are top notch - they couldn't be more helpful, attentive and sweet. The front desk is not manned at all times though - I think it's only an 8 hour shift in the afternoon evening so there would be no way to do an early check-in. Would I stay here again? No. Is it sufficient? Yes but I really felt the need to do this review due the weird layout of the rooms. How much would it cost - 50 euros? to put a real door on the bathroom and then you would have a very nice room.
