We stayed at the Ard Ri 15 years ago, and coming back felt like home!
Pros:

The hotel was perfect for our needs, had complimentary parking, and breakfast, and a fabulous Sunday roast!

Cons:

The only thing that could have been better would be if their was aircon or at least a fan in our room.

Ard Ri is the ideal location
Pros:

Ideal place to stay in Tuam. Very comfortable, clean and friendly. Couldn't find fault with anything. Lovely breakfast, great staff. It was the perfect base for us and we will return for future trips. Very happy 😊

Cons:

Genuinely can't think of anything.

Lovely Hotel was exactly as described, the room was comfortable and clean with a good sized bathroom
Pros:

The breakfast was lovely, it was a shame the staff didn't great us as we sat down and we had to find staff to get Coffee and toast. But don't let that detract you from the quality of the cooking.

Cons:

The Staff in the bar where more interested in chatting and appearing to do nothing than serve guests, however there was a funeral taking place at the time, again just a minor hiccup.

Pros:

The hotel was clean, comfortable and very welcoming. The food was excellent. We had an issue with a bit of flooding in the shower (walk in shower), and they were so understanding and helpful and it was dealt with straight away

Cons:

We only stayed a night and the only thing negative I could say is that a vending machine would have been nice but that's just looking for something to say

It was only for the one night so was ok I would choose it again
Pros:

The staff throughout the hotel were so nice and friendly. The carvery lunch was beautiful. Beds were comfy and pillows too.

Cons:

The rooms really need updating, paint chipped off walls, stains on curtains and carpets. Wooden decor needing a repaint. Bathroom was renovated and nice but the side on the bath looked like a quick piece of something screwed onto it. Two Empty coffee sachets in the room🫣 . Dust on lamp shades. Sockets broken and none beside bed. The carpet in lift is filthy. Breakfast was cold and not a great selection I wouldn’t pay extra to have breakfast I would go to the town for decent food. Better signage on first floor to lift and stairs.

Comfortable and pleasant
Pros:

Breakfast was perfect, room was comfortable and staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

I arrived just after 8pm and waited at reception for at least 15 minutes before I called into the bar to see if someone could book me in. Food service had stopped so I had to leave again to get something to eat. No lotion or conditioner in the bathroom
