My room was beautifully designed. Attention was evident in every detail. I particularly loved the turn down service. Chocolates were a good treat each evening. The hotel staff made dinner and fado reservations for me. Their assistance was invaluable. The service was AMAZING!!!
The soundproofing on the room door was not great. I could hear noises from the corridor. This is a minor issue.

the breakfast was good with a variety of options (i especially liked the fresh fruit).
The soundproofing was not good. I could clearly hear noise from the corridor and adjacent rooms. there was a noticeable gap under the door, which let in a lot of sound. this really impacted my sleep. also, the pool area lacked clear signage about whether the pool was heated.

The staff was friendly. The breakfast had a large selection of produce of good quality. It included pastries, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fruit and also a hot selection. This MADE it a cheerful start to the day!
The sound proofing TO the room door was poor. I could hear everything going on in the corridor. There IS a gap between the door frame. I know the building is old and this is part of its charm, but this could be addressed.
