Odlično.

10.0

Jedan od boljih apartmana u Irskoj u kojem smo bili. Nudi sve, od fena i TVa do prostranosti, čistoće i udobnosti. Praktički je u samom centru, pa je mali problem s parkingom. No ostavili smo auto u shopping centru preko noći, pa iznos nije bio veliki. Posebno mi se sviđalo to što je odjava do 12.00, pa taj dan ako negdje putujete, još ujutro možete nešto obaviti i stignete se vratiti u sobu prije polaska.

Freundliches Personal, aber leider lautes, dunkles und stickiges Zimmer.

8.0

Ein schönes, sauberes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Guesthouse. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, reagierte schnell auf unsere Nachrichten und bot an, unser Gepäck aufzubewahren, falls das Zimmer noch nicht fertig sein sollte. Umso mehr haben wir uns gefreut, dass wir unser Zimmer sogar schon vor der offiziellen Check-in-Zeit beziehen konnten.

Das Zimmer war etwas stickig und die Sicht ging auf den dunklen und schmutzigen kleinen Innenhof/das Dach. Außerdem ging dort eine Lüftungsanlage hinaus, die nachts leider fast durchgehend deutlich hörbar war. Die Halterung der Duschbrause war sehr hoch angebracht und für kleinere Personen kaum erreichbar. Einen Aufzug gibt es nicht. Da wir kein schweres Gepäck hatten, war das für uns kein Problem, mit größeren und schwereren Koffern könnte es jedoch etwas mühsam sein. Das WLAN funktionierte darüber hinaus leider nicht zuverlässig: Mit einem iPhone ließ es sich gar nicht verbinden und auf einem Samsung-Gerät bracht die Verbindung immer wieder ab.
