Lovely Peaceful Location
Pros:

Return visit to this lovely Hotel, check in was seamless with the very helpful Rebecca at front desk who after signing us into our executive room walked us to the seperate elevator to that side of the Hotel. Bedroom was well laid out with comfortable bed, safe, and fridge electric kettle and perculator. Very spacious lounge areas and Foyer. Fabulous Pool, steam room and sauna. Fine spacious Gym with good aray of well maintained equipment. Fine breakfast and plenty of free parking, what's not to like. We will call again. JPM

Excellent hotel
Pros:

We had the Executive Double room. Very good bed and wifi. The free parking garage was awesome too and the room even had an airco.

Cons:

The bathroom was oké, but the shower door did not completely reach the floor which resulted in water on the bathroom floor after showering.
Also the bathroom door turned wide open when not completely shut, which was irritating. Room 338 it was.

Pros:

Ich fand es gut, dass die Anlieferzone nicht direkt durch unser Zimmer ging... Und die super Aussicht auf eine schöne, glatte vollgekackte Wand

Cons:

Eine Tür direkt zu meinem schnarchenden Nachbarn und alles für sehr stattlichen Preis ohne Frühstück mit dem Charm für das gesetztere Alter...

We had a lovely stay at the Ardilaun recently. The staff were so welcoming and friendly from the minute our car pulled up - they took our luggage to the room straight away!

Worth a look.
Pros:

Room was large and comfortable, the breakfast was the best, it’s been a while since I’ve had such a good breakfast at a hotel. Parking was free. Bar meal was good and staff very friendly.

Cons:

If you didn’t have a car, a tricky walk into town.

Excellent experience
Pros:

We had a 2 night stay in the Ardulain Hotel and it was as always an exceptional experience. The hotel is so professional and the staff can't do enough for you. It is the best dog friendly hotel.
We Definitely will be returning.
