I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a huge bathroom, making my stay very comfortable. The young female staff member seemed a bit stressed, but overall the service was good. The hotel’s location in the Kells area was perfect, right in the center of an intriguing old town. The dining experience at the Vanilla Pod restaurant was included and offered typical dishes, which was quite convenient. The facilities were modern and well-equipped, ensuring a pleasant stay.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy with lashings of hot water in the huge bathroom, and I loved having access to the beer garden. The air conditioning was a real bonus. However, I noticed that one of the young female staff members seemed to be under serious stress, which affected the overall service. The location, right in The Vanilla Pod restaurant, was fantastic with great food options, but the dining experience could have been better. The facilities were top-notch.
