Clifden Station House

I had a wonderful stay. They have added/changed to entrance/bar area and it certainly has added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Nightly music was superb as I wanted a restful break so the pianist was excellent. Bed very comfortable but rooms slightly dated in comparison to the updated new entrance. Pool area was spotless and all sauna and steam room jacuzzi were warm and working. Staff very friendly and efficient. It was great to see James (owner) present, checking we are ok, exchanging pleasantries and working like everyone else. Very enjoyable stay. Prices have increased since I was last there but that is to be expected.

The staff members were unbelievably kind and hospitable! It was about a 5-10 minute walk into the main part of town. There is no air conditioning, which only was noticed when trying to sleep at night. The open windows helped, as did the fan. The remodeled lobby and bar are very nice!

We got a really warm welcome on arrival which was lovely. They accommodated us having dinner even though we arrived only just before 9pm. Food was really tasty and service was great - plenty of well trained staff. The hotel all looks newly decorated and is finished to a very high standard - felt luxurious. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was great. Plenty of car parking although it was very full, but we did manage to find a space.

Rooms were comfortable, great breakfast in the morning. Easy walking into Clifden, a great location!

Hotel was pretty dirty

When we checked in our room was on the first floor on the road side of the hotel. Located in the main part of town the road going past the hotel is very busy and noisy. Because there is no A/C and it was warm the windows were open and it was very noisy. Tried to change rooms but were told hotel was completely full. Another couple who had checked in right after us was at the front desk right behind us complaining about the same thing. At over $300 a night, for a motel 6 quality room, it was very disappointing. These hotels cater to the tour bus industry to fill them up every night so not only do they get a better price but they get the best rooms on the non-road side and less noisy. very hard to relax and sleep with all the noise.

We paid for a deluxe double room & didn’t see anything deluxe. Very basic room. The tea/coffee facilities squeezed into a tiny gap hanging off the edge. Tile’s broken on bathroom floor. Overall would have been grand if it hadn’t been the price we were charged. The castle across the road was only £57 more & that was phenomenal so we expected more for the price.

The staff was phenomenal! From Fiona at reception to Natasha in the restaurant and everyone else. They made you feel like a part of the family. This is my 3rd visit.

Lovely stay but construction work ongoing so we couldn’t really experience the hotel at its best. We will return once completed.
