Loved that this hotel used to be a bank. Room was furnished beautifully, the breakfast that was included was very good. The bar service staff were outstanding. So friendly and accommodating. The only downside was that the room was quite warm and difficult to cool down. But fans are provided which were helpful

Great comfy room. Superb location. Welcome drink a nice touch. Fab pub. . Live music at the Field next door was great. And the Left Bank across the street had a fab late evening band. Lots of dancing. Rive Gauche for dinner was the best. Kilkenny was pretty amazing.
