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!!

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Clifden House Hotel und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.

Das hat uns besonders gut gefallen:

Personal: Alle Mitarbeiter waren ausgesprochen nett, hilfsbereit und herzlich.

Bar-Atmosphäre: Ein absolutes Highlight war der phantastische Sänger in der Hotelbar. Er hat für großartige Stimmung gesorgt!

Frühstück: Das morgendliche Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und bot eine tolle Auswahl für einen perfekten Start in den Tag.

Lage: Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Das Hotel liegt sehr stadtnah, sodass man viele Restaurants bequem zu Fuß erreichen kann. Zudem liegt es unweit der wunderschönen Clifden Sky Road.

Das Mobiliar ist zwar schon etwas älter, aber das tut der Gemütlichkeit keinen Abbruch.

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Wir kommen sicher wieder
