Conveniently located for anyone arriving / departing from Shannon airport and for visiting the Bunratty Castle. The rooms and the lobby need to be updated - everything looked and felt very worn. Wifi only available in lobby. Overall an average hotel

Rooms big, well equipped, but not very clean. The cleaning lady makes beds and exchanges towels.. That's all:( Breakfast very poor quality, not much choice... Waiters do not notice guests. Disappointing... The only adventage is indeed near to the Castle.

We chose it due to its convenient location next to the castle and were not disappointed. Very comfortable bed. Nice breakfast buffet with plenty of offerings. Don't forget to take a walk arond back and check out the old church ruins and graveyard. The music, pints, and craic that evening were pure Ireland at Kathleen's

Nothing in this hotel wasn't top notched. Due to its proximity to Shannon Airport (7 minutes) this hotel must have huge amounts of Westerners staying there as they have electrical outlets in American voltage. It has many stay options so check them before booking. We were in room 248 which had us going through was a jigsaw of doorways &... More

We reserved two deluxe rooms to be able to visit the Folk Park and attend the banquet. The package was reasonable, particularly after we were upgraded to Executive rooms. Talk about spacious. Don't know about other rooms but this is about as good as it gets. King size beds, tub and shower, buffet breakfast that was excellent, and an easy... More

The hotel is only about ten minutes drive from the Shannon airport, so it's in an ideal location if you have an early flight out or late flight in. We were staying in Dingle bay which meant we would've had to allow about 4 hours to get there. Not a fun drive. We stayed there the night before my sister... More

The hotel was ok, the price a bit high for my liking. It seems to me that it becomes a bit run down, the outside needs a proper overhaul, otherwise the wood will rot away in this climate. The wifi was very poor, we stayed at the top rate rooms which are spacious and good but there was no wifi... More

We stayed here for a night while on a tour and I was very impressed - the hotel is beautiful. The decor is stunning, as is the layout and rooms. My room was one of the best ones I had while on the tour - very large, huge comfortable bed, amazing pillows and a great view. I felt like I... More

Just returned from a 3 night family stay. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children (8 +12) and went to celebrate mine and my daughters birthday - where better to stay?! I cant believe any negative reviews on here as we encountered no problems at all and the staff were all so polite, friendly, chatty and helpful.... More
