"The G hotel and spa was an excellent hotel to stay in! From the moment we walked in, we could just tell how clean and well-maintained the property truthfully is. It was so convenient having free parking underneath of the hotel with an elevator that would take you right up to your room. The rooms were spacious, The bed was comfortable and we love that they gave Irish snacks when we walked in. We definitely will be recommending this hotel to friends and will be back!!"

10/10 Excellent
"Queens Place exceeded our expectations. The rooms aren't particularly spacious but the whole place was extremely clean. All the staff were very friendly and organised our check-in so that my son and grandson would be in the same 'apartment' as us. Each apartment had a fully equipped kitchen where we could cook and relax. I'm not sure I could stay here for more than a couple of nights, based on the size of the room, but I would definitely book again if in the area. Oh, and the location was very central."
