We stayed for one night at the Pembroke. We would not have stayed longer, nor would we return. We were placed in a handicapped accessible room with a basically unusable bathroom. The shower had no walls, and was instead surrounded by very moldy tiles. The walls in the room are paper thin and we could hear the neighbors all night. The bed was hard with scratchy sheets. The location was great and the staff was helpful and kind, however the room was shabby and not worth the money at all.

My husband and I are traveling to Ireland for our honeymoon. The hotel upgraded our room and notified is that the beverages in the minibar were complimentary. Our view was beautiful and the food at the restaurant was very good. We also had a very easy time parking our car in the back parking lot. If we return to Ireland, we will definitely be back!

Great location, friendly staff. Room had a beautiful view of the castle. We ran out of toilet paper our 3rd night and we were surprised no one had cleaned our room when we came back after a long day. The gentleman at the front desk asked someone to clean our room (no one was available at the time). He ended up delivering the toilet paper himself (God bless him). The cleaners came after he left cleaned the bathroom but did not vacuum the floor after I had asked (we got crumbs on the carpet after eating a scone). It was the weekend and they were busy.
