Abbey Hotel Roscommon

10/10 Excellent
"Abbey Hotel was magnificent!! The staff were helpful and kind and very attentive. The food and drinks were fabulous and the pool was great! It was a truly beautiful place and the 13th century Abbey ruins in the back was a phenomenal historic site!! So much to do on site, we didn't even wander out much! But when we did, the city center was close and convenient. Right by the train station, too!!"
