We stayed here for one night on our way to Connemara for a short break. We had dinner in the bar which was above average for the price. Our room was spacious and clean with a huge bed. We stayed mid week so it was reasonably quiet. I would imagine it could be noisy at the weekends as there is... More

I had a meal in the hotel bar and even though the bar was very busy, the meal was good. I had to order it twice though as the waiter had forgotten me. I'd have no... More

We were a party of 36 English visitors, and of the four hotels we stayed at the Prince of Wales was by far the nicest. The main point is that the dinner was exceptionally good, especially since we were on a negotiated rate. It was the only hotel where we felt the food had been sourced locally and carefully prepared... More

We spent 3 nights at this hotel during a family wedding. The staff were very friendly and helpful with directions and information. The bedrooms were clean and spacious with enough hanging space. The televisions should be changed for flat screen versions. The rooms were very quiet considering the down town location.They were very flexible about check out times as we... More
