Very disappointing from start to finish
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We recently stayed at Kilronan Castle Estate & Spa for a wedding in Sligo and honestly the experience was very disappointing from start to finish.
One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because we had been told in advance that arranging taxis would be no problem at all. We specifically checked this beforehand because we needed transport for the wedding. However, when we went to reception the morning we needed the taxi, we were suddenly told there were only two people working on reception and that they couldn’t call anybody or help us arrange one. Instead, we were simply handed an A4 sheet with a long list of taxi names and phone numbers with no explanation whatsoever and expected to figure it out ourselves while stressed and trying to get somewhere on time. After that, we were basically left to sort everything ourselves, which was genuinely shocking considering reliable transport was one of the main reasons we chose to stay there in the first place.
The customer service throughout the stay felt cold and unhelpful. Nobody showed us where our room was, where the lifts were, or where the spa and gym were located. Even after asking, it felt like we were expected to figure everything out ourselves. It honestly felt like we were intruding whenever we needed assistance and their attitude often made it feel like asking for help was an inconvenience. At times it almost felt more like staying in an Airbnb than a hotel, because there was very little actual hospitality or guidance throughout the stay.
Another thing that stood out was when we were carrying all of our bags out while checking out. There was a trolley sitting nearby and staff could clearly see us struggling, yet nobody offered to help in any way.
Dinner was another disappointment. We asked about food options but because we weren’t interested in the expensive multi course meal, it felt like we were just brushed aside rather than offered any alternatives. In the end we left and ate elsewhere.

Disappointed in lack of soundproofing between adjoining room and disappointing breakfast experience
Pros:

Beautiful location
Friendly staff

Cons:

Breakfast room was totally disorganised … staff were friendly and doing their best but unbelievably chaotic breakfast experience.. training badly needed .
Our room had an adjoining door to another bedroom. I could not sleep with the snoring noises from whoever was sleeping in the adjoining room.
Sound proofing badly needed ..
