full Irish Breakfast was very nice,the bathroom is huge and very clean,the views out the veranda over the city,the location within walking distance of the city.
full Irish Breakfast was very nice just be aware its extra,otherwise its continental.The room was very hot and we tried to lower the heating to no avail so the window was open all night ,plus there was a timer on the wall for the outside light that drove us nuts with the noise until we covered it with pillows ,there is no parking except whats available on street at your on risk.Evening Food that was brought out to us wasn't the hottest.

Great location with free street parking 24/7. Easy walk into the centre. The breakfast was lovely, the food was delicious. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
My single room with a private bathroom was not an ensuite, it was down 6-7 stairs. Because the doors have codes to enter I needed to put the code in just to get into the bathroom and again when returning to my room. Not so good when you are half asleep. Even worse when someone couldn’t access their room at 1.30am so they were knocking & trying to enter my room. Also waking up most of the other guests, except for their roommate who they were calling out to & knocking on their door? for over an hour. And no night security to assist nor anyone to contact.

Check-in was seamless as they send you the room number and security codes (for both main front door and individual room door). The rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. Walkable distance to tourist attractions. There is an adjacent restaurant, which is very handy because popular places in the city are usually fully booked or requires a long wait especially on weekends.
I did not notice any private parking, so we parked on the street. Since we arrived late, we could only find a spot a bit far from the hotel. The room was slightly smaller than expected, but definitely comfortable.

Serendipity....oh my goodness....what a unique special place this is. The Continental Breakfast selection was excellent, delicious and plentiful with fresh fruit, pastries, meats, cheese, muffins, scones, a variety of coffee, tea, juice and more. A reasonably priced separate cooked to order breakfast menu was offered as well. Two evenings, we had a fantastic dinner in their private room at the back of the property which has an amazing patio view of the city. Our room on the top floor was quiet, spotless and cozy. The owner Stephen, Chef Sheamus ❤️ and Caroline (who worked so hard and her beautiful smile never left her face) we're so welcoming and friendly, we hated to leave. Needless to say, Serendipity is highly recommended by Canadian mom and daughter traveling through beautiful Ireland ☘️

View from bedroom window of the city walls and glimpse of the river and peace bridge. Lovely spread for breakfast, continental as weekday (will try a weekend for a cooked breakfast next time). Friendly staff. Single room was perfectly functional and the best value when I searched for accommodation As a solo female it met my top criteria/needs of safety and cleanliness 100%.
It is made very clear the "private external bathroom" is not in the room but just to clarify it is on the floor underneath the single room D. Keypad entry so just for your use, very clean, powerful and hot shower in a big cubicle, decent towels supplied. Not an issue but a dash in the middle of the night!

I had not received information about self check in, (which was reported to have been sent by email)and I arrived very late with the understanding that the Reception was 24 hrs(as the Booking.com website stated). The host/owner was extremely helpful and welcoming in overcoming this issue. I have never seen so comprehensive and wonderful the continental breakfast…it was amazing, and the servers keen to offer local information on various sights, transport etc. Nothing was too much trouble, thank you so much
I opted for a single room, but was not aware that the bathroom and toilet were not en-suite until I arrived. It was not at all convenient to have to make trips to a lower floor even to get a glass of water, not to mention perform ablutions and use the WC.

The location was great, walking distance to most of the major city attractions, the rooms are very clean, comfortable and cosy albeit a bit small. The breakfast was delicious
Very rude staff. The check-in experience was unpleasant, the staff insisted that the instructions and codes to wnter the building had been mailed in advance when we had absolutely not received them. Also one of our rooms had an en suite bathroom while the other did not ( thos was not made clear to us at the time of booking)

The welcome from Carolyn was outstanding. The location is good for walking into the city walls and the parking was straight forward on the street outside. The view from the guest back terrace is great. Our room was of a good size and the location was quiet. The bed was comfortable.
Some other guests were noisy at 2am when struggling for a longtime to master the key pad to get in. Being by the front door meant everything in the hall was heard. Likewise in the bathroom the wall to the kitchen was so thin it was distracting. The bathroom itself had some decent finishes but lacked finishing properly. The toiletries were lacking compared to other b&b stays. The breakfast staff were having a bad day.

The staff (Aoife and Caroline) were so helpful and friendly, allowed me to check in early as room was ready, gave me all directions to town that I needed and ordered taxis for me. The food was exceptional in taste and portions, and the chef was very friendly too. All round, great little place to stay 😃
Parking may be a bit of a problem for some although I got lucky and found a space right at the door. Didn't move the car again though until I was leaving as I might not have got another one so easily

Very nice B&B within walking distance of the town (note: it goes up and down). The decor is good, the staff are friendly and the little pub hut outside on the terrace overlooking the town would have been nice but was closed during our stay. The breakfast (Full Ulster Fry + various side dishes) was wonderful.
Unfortunately the little pub hut was closed. It was one of the reasons we booked this B&B. I had a "private bathroom", but to enter it you had to leave your room and enter a 5-digit code at the door. This proves to be a bit difficult when you're tired in the middle of the night ;-) But none of this is really bad.
