Their internet and our roaming services would not work on any of our four devices and they couldn’t fix it. Because we needed to work while there we had to book a new hotel after just being there a few hours. The owner was completely unreasonable and would not credit us anything from our $400! He basically stole our money. Worse possible experience in Ireland! Do t ever go there!!!!

Just back from a stay at Rafters. Had a twin room it was clean and comfortable, had steak on stone there for dinner which was very tasty as was breakfast the following morning. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to staying there again

We reserved an area with dart board and finger food for a group trip, and it was perfect. Staff were really good fun and even joined in a sing-song at the end of the night. Would definitely recommend Rafter's for a group night out. Note, we didn't stay overnight here but I didn't want to dock marks for that.

We had one night here. The wifi was down which makes life tough when traveling. The room was big. It was mostly clean. Some stains on the carpet. The breakfast was good and staff were nice. Not too noisy but it was a week night. Good shower and hot water/pressure
