The room was clean and we found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pub at the ground floor was wonderful. We had dinner there and truly enjoyed the location and the food. The staff is helpful and cares that guests enjoy their stay. I also suggest to visit the pubs nearby to appreciate the Irish music and the magical atmosphere.

GM Barney at the property was excellent. He assisted over and above when we left our passports at a previous hotel.
The entire staff was great along with the restaurant options. Will return.

Excellent all across the board! The staff was wonderful and the accommodations were fantastic! The amenities were great and there were many details that made it a memorable experience. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. We were upgraded to a comfortable and fabulous suite. We highly recommend this beautiful property that was once a convent.

Great place to stay, super convenient to walking to
everything in Ennis.
Bar is a good stop and the breakfast is very good.
My only recommendations would be iron and ironing board in the room and coffee maker for us coffeeholics.
I will be back, the folks here are so friendly!!

The perfect hotel to stay in. It is in the centre of town and close to everything. Ennis was great to walk around. You could get a great breakfast in Dunns for 5.75€. The museum right outside the door was free and worth a look. What a wonderful stay!!
