Don’t hesitate. Great location, wonderful staff, breakfast was fabulous. Only minor issue was we were unexpectedly given a handicapped accessible room, and the sink was at our knees. Next time we would ensure that we have the amenities that we expected for comfortable use of the bathroom. Highly recommend this property!

Hude Hotel is outstanding

The hotel is in a great location and appears to be recently renovated. The service was outstanding! Breakfast is an option and was worth the extra charge.

Hands down the best hotel we stayed at in Ireland! Perfect downtown location, spotless modern rooms, and a sweet little balcony. Great size, amazing shower pressure, and the friendliest staff. Pro tip: pre-book the breakfast—it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommend this place!

The Hyde Hotel was well located and close to shopping and restaurants . The breakfast was delicious and the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous . The rooms were on the small side . The parking was located in a different building and it required walking quite a ways with luggage in tow .
