Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We paid for a deluxe double room & didn’t see anything deluxe. Very basic room. The tea/coffee facilities squeezed into a tiny gap hanging off the edge. Tile’s broken on bathroom floor. Overall would have been grand if it hadn’t been the price we were charged. The castle across the road was only £57 more & that was phenomenal so we expected more for the price.

Under construction so obviously there is some disarray outside and noise . The hotel accounted for that prior to us arriving, so we were aware. Great property, convenient with a great staff.

The only negative I would say is right now it is under renovations which we didn’t know until after we booked. More significant signs for entrances and dining would have been helpful.

Really nice room with comfortable beds. We ended up with a double and 2 single beds. Clifden is a really pretty town with tons of restaurants and nice High streets with lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from and nice shops. I drove out to the Clifden castle and hiked in (note, the entry point is near the wall that looks like a castle) about 2km(?). We stopped by the beach for a look. Fairly touristy hotel with live music on the lobby and several busloads of tour groups also staying. Breakfast is included in your price with large buffet selection of cold and hot items, plus coffee/tea. Very quiet hotel stay regardless. Laundry is NOT on site, but can be sent out. Local laundrette machines available at nearby Sweeney Oil and Gas station, outdoors if you want to do your own (only takes credit cards!). Convenient location not far from Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey

Average hotel

An average hotel with rooms that are a little on the dated side. The shower was awful and barely a trickle. We ate in the bar during the evening and although the food was good the waiting staff were inattentive and unfriendly. Breakfast in the morning was average. No vegetarian options for a hot breakfast - just fruit and cereal.

Great hotel for exploring Connemara!

Exceptional service from check-in to check-out. Darrin was very professional and welcoming. He ensured our stay was enjoyable and made recommendations for day trips with less busy and unique stops. The restaurant dinner was excellent (we had oysters, mussels, and duck confit) with a full wine list. There was live music in the lounge and a bar/library to relax in. Rooms were basic with the bathroom needing a bit of updating, but comfortable. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, however, a fan was provided and with the window open we slept well. The campus was nicely appointed with a fitness center, spa, and pool. Several pubs and restaurants within walking distance, however we ate at both the hotel restaurant and station house pub as the food selection was good and tasty.
