10/10 Exceptional

The views are amazing!
Leslie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a 4 star hotel.

Very stuffy in the room if the weather is warm. No air conditioning in rooms, windows only open a couple of centimeters. Bathrooms very old, space around toilet is cramped for anyone with mobility issues. Shower was very small and the shower head was was not high enough, had to shower basically crouched over. Hotel is right on the coast. Weather I was there the beach was very busy. Car park totally taken up with people clearly not staying at the hotel. Had to park on verge. Not up to a modern 4 star specification.

Beautiful place But the room the second day they live no coffee, tea or towels how to ask a few times
Donna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Was supposed to check in at 16 hours nearly an hour late to give us room key would not hold onto our cases until check in time as we arrived early Going out next morning shower not working so was impossible for us to wash a basic in all accommodations no heating room was actually very cold at night kept having to go down to reception and asking them to put heating on as it must be controlled from there asked for a reduction of our stay was refused so that was two things that should have been no issues with would not recommend this 4star hotel in bundoran and Expedia you should keep these updates on your website

6/10 Good

Staff was robotic but polite. Good at the restaurant was poor for a four star hotel. I stayed here 4 years ago and it was much better. Will not be returning.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Too many small children running about and being very loud. Other than that, everything was great.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Admired the quality of furnishings in the lobby and the quality of the rich carpet. The lanterns in the hallways added an ambience to the lighting. The house keeping staff were warm and friendly. They work really hard and you can see that they keep the place well. Very hard working. The gentleman in the spa, pool, sauna, steam room facilities was so kind and helpful. Thank you.

No hot water no heating in room
William Anthony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We traveled with our elderly mother & had requested a room on ground floor with easy access to reception or close to lifts. Our requests were made via Expedia app & email direct to hotel. This was not responded to & we were placed in a room very far from the reception, this made our special trip disappointing as our mother felt uncomfortable with the walk. We were given something to eat as a compensation but we really had to fight for this as we were all so upset our mothers wish to stay in the hotel we used to visit growing up had a taint to it. There is a lot of different in the welcome we got years gone by, the “Irish hospitality & welcome” is non existent. Food ok, cleanliness good, service bad.

Great beachside hotel

The breakfast was delicious, especially the coffee. My room was very clean and quiet. Also, I loved walking along the cliff.

Room dull. Windows very dirty but nothing to view anyway. Could not use shower as was far to hot tried to control but no luck
Jerome, 1-night trip

Ottima la colazione, ma ci hanno dato una stanza affacciata su un sottotetto nonostante avessi prenotato mesi prima. Inoltre la stanza aveva due letti singoli anziché matrimoniale come richiesto. Bagno essenziale, Wi-Fi molto discontinuo, la struttura nel complesso è però ricercata

The outside location was beautiful! But…We did not like our room at all though. Our outside window faced someone else’s window. It seemed very creepy. We did not have a view at all ! Our room seemed dark and outdated. We did not like our room at all!
Jeanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A stunning spot.

Staff were superb. The food was of a high quality. The room was without a view and airless - even with the window open and the doors were noisy and so sleep is disturbed. The setting is stunning. Children were allowed to run around and play in the lounge and bar area. Suggest an activity space for them so they are not allowed to disturb other guests.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff helpful and friendly. The room is in need of refurbishment the wallpaper was falling off the wall. The bathroom was mouldy. Not what you expect from a 4 star hotel

Older property, spotlessly clean, good sized rooms, bathrooms clean but dated….
Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We checked in at 7:45 only to learn the swimming pool closed at 8. Then we made it to our room booked for three people to find everything set up for two. We tried to call down but the phone was broken. We were so tired and laid on the beds to then realize the wedding going on below was right under our room and the swinging door banged directly under our beds reverberating up. Oh yay. We went downstairs to see what could be done and they tried to keep it propped open but it never lasted long. Then the band started up. The evening staff were mortified and apologized but asked us to deal with the day manager. We did this in the morning but she was unperturbed and would only offer us free drinks before leaving - at 10am in the morning. In fairness, the breakfast was excellent.
