Stayed for two days with my wife and two young children while traveling throughout Ireland. Family room was large with alot of space. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was fine although the plumbing was a bit noisy. The hotel is on the older side so the interior needs a little TLC. The breakfast was pretty bland and the eating area is very crammed. They had only one waitress to service the entire room and there was a wait to take ones food order. The bar downstairs is a very nice place to sit down and have a pint or two.
The biggest plus for this hotel is the location. It is a very short walk outside of the city center and everything you may want to see is within walking distance. Overall The Western is a fine place to stay if you plan on being out and about.

Other than providing a decent breakfast, this hotel is the pits... I stayed in room 304... there is no airconditioning so the room was rather stuffy. There was no internet connection in the particular room i was staying in (I was told that the walls were too thick for them to put a cable through and that they were looking into it), and the only place where i could get onto the Internet was in the lobby on the first floor. And even then, they tend to turn off the wireless network every now and then which makes it very frustrating.
Decorwise... if you like old, musty places then this hotel is for you. Creaky wooden stairs, uneven flooring, stains on bedsheets, poor lighting, uncomfortable chairs, noisy corridors... in short, this place stinks. Unless you have a masochistic streak, or if you have a penchant for proving how tough you are... AVOID THIS HOTEL LIKE PLAGUE!!!
