    The room in this hotel was comfortable and cozy, perfect for relaxing after exploring Clifden. Unfortunately, the bathroom needed updating, which detracted from our stay.

    a perfect continental breakfast exceeded our expectations , and the staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our bikes were taken care of overnight. the bar area was cozy, and live entertainment added to the charming experience.

    central location
    attentive staff
    outdated bathroom

    We had a great time exploring Clifden! The staff were attentive, and our room was well-kept with comfy beds. A must-visit is the nearby Connemara Championship Golf Links, perfect for our large group. The hotel is centrally located, so dining at local pubs was effortless.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom could use updating.

    Couple's getaway with great warmth

    The staff were friendly, making us feel right at home. We enjoyed the breakfast which had so many options, really started our day on a high note.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but for what you get, it's still acceptable.

    great breakfast spread
    leak issue
    stair access

    The Superior King Room was super comfy, and I had a lovely and quiet sleep. Tons of space meant I didn't feel cramped at all. Plus, the modern bathroom was lit up nicely and stocked with plenty of toiletries, which was a nice touch. Can’t forget to mention the amazing breakfast spread with freshly made scrambled eggs and good coffee to kickstart the day!

    cozy lobby
    quality dishes
    malfunctioning tv
    room change inconvenience
    minor improvements needed

    The central location made it easy to walk to nearby restaurants and shops. The inviting lobby, complete with a cozy fireplace, created a relaxing atmosphere, while the breakfast buffet boasted a variety of quality dishes, including some unique options like sausage rolls. However, the initial room had a malfunctioning TV, which required a room change, and while the second room was satisfactory, it disrupted our stay. Additionally, some areas of the hotel seemed in need of minor improvements to enhance overall comfort.

    Great Location but Needs Attention

    The location is fantastic for exploring Clifden. However, expect some inconveniences like a closed bar and outdated bathroom facilities. A tip for future guests, enjoy the beautiful surroundings rather than relying on hotel amenities. A cozy Irish breakfast would have been a nice touch!

    charming atmosphere
    lack of lift

    The location was excellent for exploring local culture, and the staff provided personalized dining suggestions. Breakfast was diverse and delicious, with plenty of options to start the day. I truly appreciated the engaging lobby area, which added to the hotel's charming atmosphere.

    The lack of a lift made carrying luggage to the upper floors a bit inconvenient.

    quirky atmosphere

    Just a fine choice for a weekend excursion in Clifden with extraordinarily good value for money. I appreciated the quirky atmosphere and the charming decor throughout the hotel. If you're looking for a budget option, make sure to request a room away from the live music for a quieter stay.

    excellent location
    cozy atmosphere
    friendly staff
    basic rooms

    The Alcock & Brown provided an excellent experience during my stay in Clifden. The location is perfect, right on the main square, making it easy to explore the area. The atmosphere was cozy, particularly in the lounge reception, and despite having slightly dated rooms, the friendly staff went out of their way to assist. Additionally, the dinner in the restaurant was exceptionally good, with excellent food and attentive service from the waitress.

    The rooms felt basic and could use some updates.
