Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers comfortable rooms in a good location for exploring on foot. The rooms could use some updating but were clean and contained all essentials for a short stay. The friendly service allowed us to recharge and visit various local sites, though some minor details like the wastepaper basket could be improved.
I felt like part of the family in this cozy hotel that was extra clean, quiet, and ready even before check-in time. The friendly staff, particularly Darren, made sure we were well taken care of. The location was brilliant, just a short walk from the city center, with easy access to buses and trains. The dining was satisfying, offering a variety of Irish breakfast options. Overall, it's a great spot for a visit.
I found my stay at Iona B&B to have some mixed aspects. The hotel offers spacious rooms with great amenities like a large living room and fully equipped kitchen, although some areas need updating. The location, just minutes away from the city center, is very convenient. While the service was friendly and pleasant, the breakfast room could use some sprucing up. Overall, it was a decent stay but with room for improvement.
