Breakfast was delicious, great variety of options! The staff were all very kind and friendly, providing great suggestions for sight seeing (We drove the Sky Drive which was incredible and for local restaurant and pub recommendations were super). The bar was a great asset to stay in for a night or for a night cap after being out. The bed was quite comfortable and the location was perfect. This location much exceeded all expectations and would love to stop here if we get the opportunity to travel Ireland again!

The double doors to the stairwell inside were difficult to get luggage in and out of when they weren't already propped open. It could help if it was easier to open them or if they were always propped open.

I liked that the staff were so accommodating and central to the town. Beds were very comfortable and rooms also. I would like to specially mention that Patrick went above and beyond for us , he went to the effort to making sandwiches as we couldn’t get food anywhere since we arrived late with horses for the show week. He had a great personality and manner. Couldn’t ask for better.

I think maybe we might have just hit a bad day but breakfast wasn’t that great but it was sufficient enough. Or we’re just fussy eaters !

This is a very comfortable hotel right in the centre a short walk to all the pub’s & restaurants. The superior double was a large comfortable room and nice and warm. It’s November. Parking was easy & staff very helpful. Although they don’t serve a hot breakfast, the buffet is excellent. It was also great value . Highly recommended. Would definitely use this property again.

Had a very restful sleep here, lovely and quiet, comfortable and loads of room. Breakfast a definite highlight very good spread with Barista coffee and wonderful staff 😀 Dinner at local Woodfield Hotel was delicious, several restaurants to choose from. Free, secure parking a plus and a great supermarket across the road. Lots to see here

Small complaint, there was no iron in the room.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very comfortable. The staff is kind, polite and helpful. They gave us good tips for activities around the hotel. The hotel lobby is very cozy, with a beautiful fireplace : it's the perfect place to sit back and relax peacefully. The breakfast buffet was very good, there was a lot of different options that will satisfy everyone. In terms of location, the hotel is located in Clifden so you can easily walk to restaurants and pubs. You can also park your car at the SuperValue car park for free and it's just across the street from the hotel. The hotel is also very close to the beautiful sky road and its an easy drive to the Connemara National Park. Overall our stay was perfect and it was a great deal. We highly recommend and would definitely come back if we're ever in the region again.

Complete refurbishment since we last visited. We were upgraded to a superior room as was my birthday 8th February.Beautiful room.Continental breakfast only but was sufficient with a great choice.Staff were fabulous as always.Loved the bar area, really comfortable and a lovely lounge area in the entrance, very welcoming.Great location on the square in Clifden. Will be back very soon as a real home from home and only a short drive from Westport!

A better selection of wine. Only had one choice of white wine. However they had only just reopened so maybe that was the reason.

Hotel was great central location in the town and great base for seeing Connemara. Rooms were very comfortable. As per other reviews breakfast was cold/continental breakfast but we found it perfect and quite substantial, there was plenty of cereals, pastries, toast, boiled eggs and pancakes. Staff were extremely helpful, receptionist gave great advice for restaurants nearby. Breakfast staff were extremely nice and pleasant. I’d definitely stay here again.

heating controlled centrally and it was very warm. Corridors were really hot and room was very warm although we could open the window so better than being too cold!

Accessibility, the receptionist from Cleggan was very professional, helpful, humorous, welcoming & engaged with our needs. Night bar tender was extremely courteous & patient. Very pleased with everything. Even the teenagers in our party were impressed & that is a supreme achievement!

There weren't enough breakfast staff, one lady was under pressure & not as relaxed as we'd previously experienced.

Great location... step outside the front door and we were at the thriving centre of the Clifden: stand and watch, sit and watch. Very satisfying! and very convenient parking. Lovely staff headed by the ever friendly and informative Sharon. A Most convenient location and an excellent brunching breakfast. We will hopefully visit again and stay.

When the promised lift or elevator is installed, it will benefit and elderly me!

Loved the location -- premier real estate. Excellent breakfast choices. I was enamored with the framed posters on the wall that captured throughout the years the promo poster for an annual festival, very artistic. really appreciated being able to park right across the street in a safe lot.

The building is a bit old and thus you had to wait for a while after one person flushed the toilet. but this is nothing when considering the location is ideal.
