Guest Reviews

• Matthew (10/5): Speechless - You want to stay here. Owners are awesome. And make sure you go check out Sligo while you’re there. Incredible town with incredible people. Trust me, it’s quite the place. Nothing at all. Perfect.

• John (9/5): - Everything
• peter mackey (10/5): -
• Nasib (8/5): - Location close to.aldi Towel a bit small Room bit small too
• Isabella (10/5): Exactly what we needed! Walking distance to the town and all the facilities you could need! - Clean and modern facilities, spacious room for 2, great value for money, very friendly and attentive staff who had many great recommendations! Nothing to complain about
• delphine (8/5): - Très bien situé pour aller en centre ville à pied et le parking en arrière cour est sécurisant. . Le personnel est très accueillant et avenant. La chambre est propre et confortable. La cuisine équipée est très appréciable et le respect du calme aussi. Chambre un peu petite et la chambre à côté de la chaufferie est un peu bruyante.
• OTTENWAELTER (9/5): Très agréable - L’accueil , la propreté , la gentillesse Chambre un peu petite pour 3
• Kyla (10/5): - The staff was so kind! They gave us so many recommendations for the area and for the rest of our trip. The place was in a great location and the room / facilities itself were also great. Would stay here again :)
• Willy (10/5): - Great location friendly staff... Nothing
• Irene (9/5): - The staff was really kind and helpful, giving many great suggestions on what to do in the area! The location is also very nice. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but it takes 5 minutes to arrive to the centre.
• Alicja (9/5): Polecam zexwxglefu na czystość i lokalizację, dla niezbyt dużych czy wysokich osób. Dla par niewygodne, ale np. dla jedn - Położenie obiektu w cichym miejscu. Część wspólna też była bardzo przyjemna. Zależało mi na łóżku podwójnym z jednym materacem. Następnym razem jednak nie wybiorę pokoju z piętrowym łóżkiem, pomimo że dolna część spełniała moje wymagania. Pokój nr 1 jest mikroskopijnych rozmiarów, więc pobyt dłuższy niż 1-2 dni raczej nie będzie zbyt komfortowy.
• Kerstin (9/5): - William and Aoife are super friendly, and extremly helpful with everything you can ever think of, especially with recommendations and my suitcase. The room was totally clean and comfortable and modern and bright. Great big shower, super easy door lock system, really good sleep. It was my second stay and won't be the last.
• James (7/5): So very nearly brilliant…… - Super clean, new and very friendly staff with a modern layout, something I’d not experienced throughout the rest of my stays in Ireland… Fabulous shower!! Unfortunately, the super modern clean styling of it means you hear absolutely everything anyone does or says… I was in room one right by front door so even on a quiet evening in terms of guests as they came in after me and stayed chatting in the lounge area at 2300 it kept me up, then at 0600 room two was up and about and again heard everything. Some carpet or more soft furnishings would help reduce the sound. I’m not fussy, I stay away 1-3 nights a week every week, and very rarely ever make a comment but this place is so nearly brilliant……
• Maddy (9/5): Easy, comfortable, safe and friendly! - The property was in a great location, quiet but only a short walk to the main part of town. The hosts were really welcoming, and gave us lots of good recommendations of what to do and see. Rooms were basic, but very clean with everything we needed! N/A
• Daniel (10/5): Very good will be back in a couple of weeks - Very modern and very clean
• 6d60129bd9f471286fcbed12e02052da (10/5): -

• 34f4277121ca7020ea954ac3131c1cb8 (10/5): Will book again, next time in Sligo - Easy to find, centrally located walking distance to good restaurants. Super clean, very comfortable
• 1323f370990c7111d87a72fa4c238429 (10/5): - The place was clean, new, comfortable, and in a great central location. William was a fantastic host and shared great tips, including surf spots around Sligo and Donegal.
• d643ba279a7572ad13c96fd24be4f162 (10/5): -
• 3caa66b3814f721e8f9b79e811ad534c (6/5): Good but 'unusual'. - Spotlessly clean. Good location a short walk from the main streets. Room was fine for a singly or maybe a couple but not sure how 3 people could move around with ease. Was peeved to find myself, having paid in advance, to be pretty-much ordered to give my card details...in case of damage?! What kind of clientele are they used to?! To then find no staff there at departure time to show that my room was undamaged was disappointing...I took photos in case of any shenanigans...
• fb5427464ff870e191985afd42c373a6 (7/5): Overall, it was a comfortable stay in a well-located property. - I liked the property’s convenient location, clean rooms, and good staff. What I didn’t like was that the beds were not very comfortable .
• 6c0e94c4ea0c7340f6e729a83aa85d99 (10/5): - Clean and comfortable rooms and lovely staff, would definitely stay here again!
• Peter (10/5): -
• Minhava (10/5): - The location. Everything was very good.
• David (9/5): - Very clean , good location NA
• Norbert (9/5): The place to go when visiting Sligo - Propreté, proche du centre mais au calme, l’accueil et les conseils de sorties et de restaurants L’isolation phonique des chambres, étant au rdc nous entendions les conversations de la salle commune, heureusement à partir de 23h tous le monde respecte la charte de l’établissement et il n’y a plus aucun bruit.
• Adamczyk (10/5): - Super lokalizacja. Bardzo czysto i schludnie. Polecam Skrzypiące łóżko piętrowe. 🤷🏼‍♀️

• Steven (8/5): -
• MIGUEL ÁNGEL (8/5): El establecimiento en general es fantástico, pero nuestra habitación era demasiado pequeña. - El salón compartido dispone de gran cantidad de comodidades (nevera, tostadora, tv, libros, ...). Todo muy nuevo. El baño estaba muy bien. El gerente muy amable. Un amplio aparcamiento propio en la zona posterior, con entrada directa al establecimiento. Zona muy tranquila. Buena ubicación para ir al centro de la ciudad andando. La habitación (para 3 personas) era con literas y muy pequeña.
• John (10/5): -
• Chris (10/5): As above - Modern, clean, super facilities, really warm, great parking, unbelievable location and our host was lovely and so inviting. Exceptional Nothing
• Susan (5/5): - Location was great The bunk beds were flimsy and cramped
• Erika (10/5): - Property in very good location(we can recommend pub/restaurant) Mill bar only 4 min for a walk from Property! lot's off space for parking. Room was clean and tidy.
• Michele (10/5): - Location is great, on the river just outside of the center. Parking is easy. William our host met us, was very friendly and passionate about Sligo and the history of the place (is right next to the old Gaol), and gave us recommendations. Room was clean and more spacious than I expected. Blackout curtains would have been good. Sound carries but we never heard anything, hopefully we didn’t wake anyone in the morning!
• Alison (9/5): -
• Rowinska (8/5): - Nice place, mattresses a bit nosy, beautiful public spacer, room a bit basic, more like hostel
• Michael (9/5): -
• Lakeswimmer (10/5): Perfect place with great amenities and easy parking; a sound barrier would help reduce lounge noise - Perfect place with great common kitchen and lounge areas, easy parking, and well-equipped rooms. A small improvement would be adding a sliding door or sound barrier, as noise from the lounge—especially after a certain hour at night—can reach the rooms.
• Golamaully (10/5): -
• Rose (10/5): Rose & Louise Dec 2025 - We were met by a lovely girl.who explained everything to us a d gave us excellent recommendation for where to dine and go for a drink. The lodge was spotless, modern and in such a central location. 10.out of 10..will definitely go back. Parking was excellent too. Nothing it was excellent!
• Ross (8/5): Good location to explore Sligo - Friendly and helpful staff, modern facilities, private parking No complaints
• Mc Mahon (7/5): -
• Enda (9/5): Highly recommend - Clean and tidy with very friendly staff and snacks available in the common area. Central location N/a
• Tara (7/5): - Modern, clean, nice staff Very small rooms not much space for people sharing Abit pricey
• Catherine (1/5): Close to Sligo hospital if you cross the pedestrian bridge but difficult to find and not named. - Modern bed room and ensuite. I was met with a young woman with strange eye makeup who insisted that I give her my credit card details and said it was in the terms and conditions, see below. She kept saying I just want as through she was oblivious to the danger, I am a sole traveller and the bank could issue a security lock and I would have no way to pay for anything including transport, buses want you to tap. I needed my mobile phone to get the security txt what if it was down at the time? I wouldn't have a place to stay that night. She still kept saying I just want. There was no warning that I would be asked for this. She said it is asked for everywhere. I have stayed three places in Sligo now and wasn't asked anywhere else. She kept my credit card details on a laptop and so a company employee or a hacker could steal from me. This is what is in the terms and conditions. Payment Methods Cash is not accepted at Reception. A debit/credit card is required for all stays, although cash may be used for equipment and activity payments.

• lily (9/5): -
• Islam Raja (9/5): -
• Lauren (8/5): Clean and comfortable - The owner was super friendly and welcoming, giving us a map of the town and marking recommendations on it. The place was spotlessly clean, walking distance to town centre, and very good value. The facilities are on the basic side, and the room was small, but that's what we were expecting from the price so can't really complain (it was just a place to crash for us during a wedding, so we didnt spend much time there). Would definitely recommend it as a budget option.
• Nicola (9/5): -
• Fionnuala (10/5): -
• Paul (8/5): Would recommend for groups and great location - Great location walking distance to town , friendly team and comfortable rooms!
• Guenthel (10/5): Freundliches Personal, gesprächsaktiv, gibt aufschlußreiche Hinweise. - Frühstück als Selbstversorger, Kochmöglichkeit vorhanden, Sehr sauber. Sehr ruhige Lage. Kostenloser Parkplatz am Haus. ...
• Pabliuca (9/5): - Personal muy atento que te ayuda a conocer sitios parar visitar. El alojamiento dispone de aparcamiento y una buena ubicación. Habitaciones cómodas, instalaciones limpias, dispone de zona común con sofás y cocina.

• Say (8/5): Cheerful - We're very pleased for the hosting arrangement, they were really interested in staying persons. It was very clean and smells so good. Thank you for everything. We were staying in the three person room and it was very small for luggage items but clean. and also the beds were so noisy for turning in the bed...
• Andrew (7/5): -
• Martin Galea De Giovanni (9/5): Clean, quiet and central! - I had a great stay at Éalú Lodge. Everything was very clean, the location was perfectly central yet quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
• Rachael (9/5): -
• Inna (10/5): Short but sweet! - It was really comfortable and clean, and the owner, William, gave us a very warm welcome. We’ll definitely be back to try out some of the North West Adventure activities! It seemed there was no bin in our room or bathroom, if that could be added that would be great.
• Graeme (8/5): -
• Harper (10/5): -
• Cian (10/5): -
• Matthew (8/5): - Clean & Cheap. Staff / check in super helpful. Access with pins nice & easy. Plenty of parking mattress very poor, two sleepless nights.
• Kansas (9/5): Welcoming, modern and affordable hotel - Nicely decorated and new, modern design. The staff were really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Shower was good. Easy walking distance to the centre and easy parking. The bed frame was held off the wall by a small (usefully placed for charging phones) shelf, that made it awkward to lean pillows up to read in bed.
• Ruan (8/5): Very good place - Good place to stay in Sligo, close to city centre and nice to sleep just few nights. N/A
• Scott (10/5): -
• Jim (9/5): Great value place to stay in Sligo - Great place to stay, William very attentive and helpful- gave lots of recommendations for things to do in the town and such. Definitely recommend Nothing
• MARIA LUCIA (9/5): -
• Daryl (9/5): - Staff were amazing, local knowledge and suggestions were great, location is good and the place is new and super clean with everything you need. The rooms are small but in saying that, it is a lodge and you just need a place to sleep, the bunk bed was pretty squeaky though whenever someone moved.
• OliverTM (9/5): -
• Jana (8/5): Fine - The location is really close to the city center, a 10-minute walk away. You can park for free behind the hotel. The room is a bit small, with bunk beds, but clean. The staff is really friendly.
