Whilst the room was ‘cosy’ as described there are a few points which left my wife and I dissatisfied with our stay. The facilities of this hotel are shabby and not to the standard expected in a 4 star hotel. The room itself is as described and not so bad if you know what to expect. We had an issue with some unexpected repair work in the room that left us annoyed with the staff carrying it out unsafely (electric shock alert!). Also,
upon leaving for the wedding we were in the area to attend we handed the key in at reception asking if this was ok. When we returned later that night there was no one at reception to get the key back from so I lent over and retrieved the key to our room myself, not very secure! I would have taken the key with me had I known that reception would close. Clifden is lovely, with some nice bars and cafes. The area is to die for (but not through unsafe electrical installation) but with exceptional views and rolling Irish mountain vistas.
