Scholars Townhouse Hotel

Lovely hotel Friendly staff Great location

Room a bit small I’m a big lady No tea making facilities although staff bring tea to room

One of the nicest places we stayed. The rooms were beautiful and dinner was excellent.

Absolutely nothing.

The heritage aspect. The dining room and bar were beautiful.

The rooms are a bit rundown but not too bad.

Lovely location, free parking and very walkable.

The place takes you back to the 19th century decor wise and the rooms/beds are exceptional comfortable. Despite that nothing is dated. The breakfast is a la carte and not the usual buffet - I recommend the porridge and fruit as it it was a battery pack that kept us going til 2 or 3. The location is great for visiting newgrange, mellifont abbey etc as well as the Boyne valley and a short walk or taxi from the train station. The staff really made us feel welcome and looked after and the kitchen deserves a special mention - the food was exceptional.

One gripe which is a bit part and parcel of boutique hotels is that the showers in both rooms had technical issues (broken on off switch and a random loss of pressure). It was a bit annoying that we reported them on the first day but it seems that nothing was going to be done to fix the issues. The fact I still rate the place so well is because on every other point it is an exceptional place to stay with exceptionally friendly staff.

Consistently great. We have stayed in Scholars a number of times now and we cannot fault anything. A particularly lovely room this time complete with Four Poster bed. We have already booked our next stay!

Loved everything (as usual!)

Beautiful building

No kettle in room but complementary tea/coffe can be ordered at reception

Quirky and historic

Nothing
