Disappointing.
This hotel was one of the biggest disappointments in our 4 week trip in the British Isles. It is located on a very busy and loud walking street, making it difficult to access and loud outside until around 3 am. The elevator smelled, the coffee maker leaked and didn’t work and the shower water pressure was non existent. The room was over $300 Euros per night - too expensive for its shortfalls.

Older hotel in a great location. There is no onsite parking. Very noisy, even on weekdays. We heard loud music and yelling well after midnight. Trash cleanup and trucks starting at 6 am. No AC. Clean room and friendly staff. Surprised by the overall rating. People must really like the location. Hotel is just okay. Solid 6 or 7. Not a 9/“wonderful”

Ok first let me say…it was a nice hotel. It was clean, comfy room, and staff were friendly. Now for the not so good…while others have commented on it being noisy…I assumed typical noise for the pub district. I did not expect for it to sound like I had a damn nightclub in my room. They have commented on others reviews saying their hotel specific website states it can be noisy…their Expedia info does not. And really how many of us go to the individual website to check it out? I expected some noise as a result of street traffic but not the echo of the bars live music (think bass thumping) til the wee hours of the morning. So if you appreciate a good night sleep, are traveling with children or are not in the party scene…DO NOT book here! If the late night live music club hopping is your jam…book away you will love it! As for me 3 hours of sleep for €296…not worth it. Oh AND when we asked how long the music would be going for…we were given earplugs.

Would only recommend for young partiers as just a decent place to crash after a night out, but not for a family/kids or anyone wanting a nice retreat. The pictures are deceiving. 1 star for the misleading photos/description. We had trouble finding the place and after asking several people, we were directed to a small door placed between two restaurant patios. No wonder they didn’t post pictures of their entrance. The first gal to greet us was friendly and she’d get 5 stars, but the other 2 people we dealt with for questions and check out were pretty miserable. The place is old and kind creepy but it was clean. Our room was tiny, didn’t have television to watch (could only cast apps from your phone but we didn’t have those), got 3 tiny twin beds pushed together, no toiletries in bathroom, coffee maker with no cups…it honestly felt a bit like an upscale hostel. Now this wouldn’t be so bad if it was a cheap stay- but it was nearly $300 for a weeknight! I expected more with that price. The location is great if you want a fun street side atmosphere or plan on going out because you are literally in the middle of a bustling walkable street. The bar/restaurant attached was fun and a cool atmosphere. If youre there for the nightlife, have at it. Otherwise book elsewhere.

Great location in the midst of everything fun!
Great stay with reception staff going the extra mile to ensure our stay was organised. Recommend the pub downstairs for food and music but get in early or you will miss out. The room can get a bit hot but use the fans supplied, they do a great job! Overall the Residence had everything we were wanting from our stay which was fun and ease.

A great location, right in the thick of it. The only downside to that is that it’s a little noisy at night (something we were aware of before booking anyway).
