Stylish hotel in excellent location, but bedrooms a bit tired and in need of an uplift.
Pros:

Stylish hotel in excellent location, close to town centre, with good parking. Breakfast very good and well organised. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

Bedroom a bit tired and in need of an uplift, but clean and functional. No air conditioning but fan provided. Comfortable bed but very heavy duvet for this unusually hot summer season.

Pros:

The staff, they were just fantastic!! A very homely atmosphere due to their interaction with guests. It made the stay so good.

A relaxing oasis in Clifden
Pros:

The bar area is very relaxing and welcoming. The lighting is good!
The staff were fabulous and very accomodating.
Liked that there was an iron and ironing board in our room!
Loved the location right in the middle of town and decent parking.
Unfortunately we didn't have time to avail of the great facilities like the pool and spa...next time!

Cons:

The bedroom has great hanging space for clothes but little 'drawer' type space, just two open shelves low down under the kettle shelf.
The coffee/tea shelf needs a tray, a bowl to put used tea bags in and maybe some sweeteners as well as sugar!!
