The location is very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions. The room was well-appointed, spacious, and the bedding comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Breakfast featured fresh fruits and a variety of choices, making for a delightful start to the day. However, there was a disturbing incident during dinner where staff faced unprofessional treatment from management, making the atmosphere uncomfortable for guests. This overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable experience, and it's disappointing to witness such behavior in a hospitality setting.

great location , but inconsistent amenities
The location provided easy access to the Burren and local attractions. The owner and her daughter were exceptionally welcoming, making me feel right at home. Breakfast was made to order, and the variety was impressive. I particularly enjoyed the homemade brown bread. The view from my room was charming, offering a delightful glimpse of the town.
The Wi-Fi connection was spotty at times, which was frustrating.

The hotel offers a quaint atmosphere, adding to its charm. Clean, comfortable rooms provide a cozy stay. The traditional Full Irish breakfast is quite satisfying if you choose to add it.
Breakfast comes at an additional €16 per person, which feels steep given the room cost of €178 for one night. The stairs leading to the rooms are steep, which could be challenging for some. The bedding felt like a small double, and the duvet was too heavy. The view from the room window was disappointing, just a rooftop view with cement blocks on skylights. The carpet in the room showed significant wear and lacked proper upkeep, and the absence of bedside lamps added to a somewhat cluttered feel. The TV didn't work during the stay, and the hotel overall closed up early at 10:30 PM, leaving little to no options for late-night entertainment.
Tourists from United States of America often stay at these properties. Consider them for your next trip.
