Very friendly staff

Great location nice friendly staff but beds u might as well sleep on the ground. Bed was so hard like sleeping on ground

The staff was amazing, so helpful and attentive.
The facility was very clean and in a safe and quiet area. Breakfast was fabulous and the owner makes her own jams which was beyond amazing!!!

Super helpful staff. Nice bar where you could get a scone and coffee rather than a full breakfast.

Run by lovely people. Old vibe to the place.

Lovely family run hotel in a beautiful village. The staff was attentive, engaging and very helpful suggesting sites and activities.

Very out of the way. Sidewalks roll up at 4 pm

Very friendly and warm staff (Lynn & John). Easy to get around the area

This was a great stay if you are looking for something that is reasonably priced and near Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher. The receptionists were so kind and showed you to your room. The beds were very comfortable. 5/5!

My wife and I have been traveling across Scotland and Ireland, staying in a mix of high-end and boutique hotels. The Rathbaun Hotel was by far the warmest and most welcoming of them all. While the building is a bit older, it’s incredibly well maintained — everything was clean, solid, and cared for. Even the bathroom silicone joints were spotless, which says a lot about the attention to detail. We stayed at far more “modern” hotels that looked nice from afar but were worn and dirty up close. Not here.

The staff were the true highlight. We arrived late around 10 PM, and an older gentleman came out to the street, saying they were worried and waiting for us. While I parked the car, he carried two 55lb suitcase's upstairs — an act of kindness I won’t forget. The woman working downstairs was equally lovely, funny, and full of local recommendations that really made our trip special.

And I have to mention the bed sheets — unbelievably soft, better than any we had at pricier hotels.

If you’re all about trendy looks, this may not be your place. But if you care about genuine hospitality, cleanliness, and a great night’s sleep, this hotel is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
