Sleepless in Doolin
Pros:

Die Bilder auf Booking
Das Frühstück
Das Restaurant

Cons:

Das völlig überteuerte Hotel als Ganzes:
Es liegt an einer stark befahrenen Strasse. Da auch ein Restaurant mit Bar dazu gehört, wird man nachts von betrunkenen Gästen "unterhalten". Das Hotel ist zwar teilweise renoviert. Doch insgesamt ist das meiste noch alt und null isoliert. Das Zimmer (ohne ac) sowie das Bett sind winzig.

Perfect stay in Doolin
Pros:

Parking lot behind the hotel and a few options for dinner within walking distance. We ended up having to drive to find a spot because we didn't have reservations and got lucky at McGann's. Grabbed a drink at hotel bar and listened briefly to live music. Would have been nice to sit and listen, but had an early morning. Highly recommend reservations for dinner anywhere you plan to go in Doolin. Breakfast was fantastic at the hotel, great way to kick off the day! Rooms were just right and the electrical converter in the drawer was very helpful. We did the seaweed baths at the Doolin pier and would recommend that to anyone traveling to this area. Very memorable.

Cons:

Not much not to like. Wish we would have made dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant. Would have made things less stressful.

Lovely vibe, comfy beds, great location, connected restaurant, thoughtful extras.
Pros:

Loved the carefully cultivated vibe. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the dessert just waiting for us in the room. Great location, and very handy to have a restaurant downstairs. Some tours even left from the back of the hotel, so location was fantastic. We had to leave before breakfast, but they made us a lovely to-go bag to have some food and tea/coffee for our drive.
