This is a nice old style hotel, well renovated and retrofitted with an elevator. It has a great bar on the roof with views all around the area, which is near the mouth of the river. It has a bar downstairs that has a good range of beers, including Kilkenny Ale, one of my favourites. Unfortunately, it also has (really lour) live music on weekends. I was on the second floor and there was no way I could sleep until it stopped at midnight. The floor was vibrating and the bass came through the bed. On the plus side, it's in a great area, with lots of excellent cafes, restaurants, and shopping.
