10/10 Exceptional

10/10 super central and cosy guesthouse in Clifden. Super location, clean rooms, fast wifi and the Nespresso machines in the room were a welcome surprise. The kitchen and entrance are getting a refurb but its a minor quibble, it looks exciting . The wine bar will open in July but the space is free to use for guests and is a really cool, chill space. Really friendly local owner who gave us some local tips on the hidden gems of Connemara . 10/10

A good spot to use as a basecamp for driving tours and hiking in Connemara National Park

Because the premises are sited so centrally in Clifden sited as it is back from the main street the accommodation was both very convenient for all types of shopping and dining yet also very quiet at night.

Rm1 above smoking area

The checkin was quick and easy as was check out. Our rm no1 was above a smoking area so this was unpleasant. Our coffee machine didnt work for coffee but was ok for tea. The bed waa comfortable and the shower was powerful.

Property really sticks of mold and sewage. Absolutely worst place I have ever seen. Bed not made up. Bathroom atrocious. Carpet filthy, dark hallways. Left after an hour, couldn’t stay there. Woeful.

Quiet and off the main room. Clean rooms and very comfortable beds. Welcoming service with fantastic wine shop connected at the front.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

This place is a total kip. I used to stay in youth hostels that were better. The staff did not even bother to show up: By phone, I was told the key was in the door and off you go. Our friends stayed down the block for the same price with parking and a breakfast. The shower is a plastic kit, if you know the type, and OLD. There is no wine bar, just a filthy greenhouse-type shanty with ditty old wine bottles. SKIP IT.

2/10 Poor

This property is not well represented online. The rooms are sparse, the Beds are worn and the carpet is old and Stained. The entry through an unlit passage is sketchy. All in all my advice is run!
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Booked and paid for 2 nights. Only stayed one. Room noisy with birds nested above and alarm system outside (not the guesthouse) all late afternoon. Very basic. Enquired about parking options and still to receive a reply. On Main Street so handy for restaurants, location is the main thing going for here. No parking facilities apart from on street, which are difficult to secure as a Main Street.

4/10 Fair

No breakfast, the rooms were ok but the bathroom needs some updates, the shower door fell on me as I was about to take a shower, there was no one in the property to speak to. Bathroom needs major updates and finding the place was a nightmare, it doesn’t have any name or anything.

2/10 Poor

God awful. If I hadn’t prepaid for two nights, I would not have stayed any after seeing the room. Hard to believe. A new lowfor me staying anywhere and I travel a lot internationally.
