Just back from 2 nights in Strand hotel With 40 senior citizens, if I had anything to do with star ratings this hotel would be 5 star because rooms were clean, food was excellent. This was one of the best weekends we have ever had. Thank you to Johnny and all his staff for being so caring and above all the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Cheers Trevor.

Amazing just absolutely amazing from the welcome, staff and just the atmosphere. Rooms where clean and tidy. The food was just unbelievable, refused to eat anywhere else during my stay. Excellent price as well. Upgraded room on first day. The view is amazing few minute walk from a beautiful beach, local shop near by, stayed from the 5th june and checked out on 7th room 51/45. First day was sunday really busy resturant times and the kitchen staff was behind and the fact they came to let myself and partner know on the delays and order will be taken shortly, everything was just wonderful as many places would just leave you sitting wondering what is going on. Very assertive. Thank you for a beautiful stay and we will be back again :)

Beautiful hotel in a very scenic spot lovely beach within walking distance from hotel. Food was amazing and staff were friendly. Disappointed with room. Carpet was threadbare in parts. A lump in floor in another section. Damp mould on walls near window. Husband had to fix the door lock as it would open if pushed or pulled on. Very cold room heating was poor.

Cozy hotel, rooms are not fancy but, bed was very comfortable. Food is excellent, full Irish Breakfast, meals at night in the bar are delicious. Cozy atmosphere in the lounge. I would recommend this hotel for price value to anyone touring the northwest in the Republic of Ireland.

The Hotel decor is slight dated but don't let that put you off. It is spotless, excellent breakfast but the main reason I give it 5 stars is the staff, so friendly and professional. Great location, we will definitely be back again. Plenty of great bars in the area.

We’ve stayed in the ballyliffin lodge in the past, and thought we’d give the strand a try. We found it to be excellent The room was spotless, smelled nice and fresh The staff were as friendly and helpful as you could possibly imagine The breakfast was very good, not in any way greasy, we had a couple of evening meals in the restaurant, all of which were first class , not only that, the food prices were extremely fair, many places are ripping customers off at present, the strand is most certainly not one of them All in all, a first class hotel, and I would highly remember it to anyone
