We really enjoyed our stay at Dooley's Hotel. The food was delicious, both for breakfast and in the bar. We enjoyed the live music at night, and it was a comfortable stay. The only issue was you can hear what everyone is doing above you. Luckily we had ear plugs to drown it out, but sometimes it sounded like folks playing rugby at 3am! Other than that, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazingly helpful!

5star hotel in a 3star package.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and warm. The cleaning staff did an excellent job every time. We used a cot bed that unfortunately was not set up properly and fell down a few times that we had to rectify ourselves. Restaurant and food was to an excellent quality, if a little pricey but the bar was surprisingly clean and bright. We enjoyed the breakfast every day and had a variety of foods for everyone, including a vegan cooked breakfast. Unfortunately, when other guests did disturb us we felt that the staff didn't do enough and this had to be escalated to management, but the following day they did respond very quickly. Unfortunately for anyone who stayed that one night may not have seen the rectification of the matter. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

The hotel is pretty basic. The staff were really nice. We had to park our car across the street and drag our luggage over a busy road. There is not much can be done about this as the hotel is situated in the city center. You do have to pay for the car parking. The restaurant in the hotel was not the best the food was not great I couldn’t eat mine but the staff were really nice. The hotel is pretty dated but we only stayed one night. It’s alright to stop over one night but if we were to stay longer I would not select this hotel. Thanks
