The castle itself was nice and Clifden is a cute town within walking distance of the castle. The room was definitely economy. The description is correct that they are not located where the superior rooms are because they were originally intended for sales people to spend the night. This fact was lived up to when a staff member asked my husband and I if we were lost while we were outside of our room because we were in the area adjacent to where they took cigarette breaks. The castle would definitely be nicer if you stay in a superior room. If you're expecting a typical Airbnb experience where you are personally greeted by your host and want to stay in a home with nice personal touches I can't recommend a stay here. If you want a cheap way to stay in a commercial hotel/ castle then this is for you.
