Hôtel très bien situé; tout s'effectue bien à la marche. Très propre, bien décoré et tel que sur les photos. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas de réception, le check-in s'effectue très bien avec le dispositif à l'entrée. Les informations étaient claires. Notre seul bémol, c'est le manque d'insonorisation. Si vous avez le sommeil fragile, on ne conseille pas cet hôtel. Heureusement, nous n'avons pas eu de voisins trop bruyants.
The air conditioning didnt work and temporary unit didn’t work had to sleep with windows open but traffic noise was to loud to sleep. Room was clean and tidy and in good location. Wouldn’t stay again due to ac issues.
Nice cozy room near pubs, restaurants, and grocery. Felt safe, hotel and room are nicely updated. Comfortable bed. Friendly and responsive staff who were very helpful!
The room was clean, however no staff and if you need anything.. well good luck! Also no WiFi and the A/C is a portable unit. Coffee maker didn’t work. Price was very high for one night. Also they only gave us 1 key. Won’t book again.
Had a wonderful time while staying at the Abbeygate Hotel. We almost got stuck in Ireland, and we had planned to return and stay at the Abbeygate, as it was our favorite city, and we were pleased with the accommodations.
Room was clean and in a great location but hotel was very loud both from outside noise in a busy location and thin walls. Bathroom also had a mildewy type smell after using the shower.
