Pros:

The location was good

Cons:

It was very outdated. There was no insulation which meant we had to listen to an absolutely vial man roaring and shouting at his partner all night. I know this is not the fault of the hotel but possibly insulation for noise might be something the hotel would look into. It's very old fashioned and could do with being dragged into the times.

Pros:

This is our first time staying in Castlebar and we are so delighted we spent it with Ivy Tower Hotel. This accommodation ticked every box. It is in a great location, very clean and cozy, our bed was so comfortable, a fabulous bathroom with a spacious shower. You get all the extras you need; toiletries, towels, hairdryer, etc. The staff are all brilliant. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. We experienced a fun and easy-going atmosphere here. Everyone is up for a great chat. We made some friends and memories for life.
We didnt eat here but the food looked and smelled delicious, definitely trying on our next visit. And great value!
We are so pleased we stayed here. Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you Ivy Tower Hotel!
