Bunratty Castle Hotel & Leisure Club, BW Premier Collection

"Visited this evening for my dad’s 60th birthday and, unfortunately, the experience was hugely disappointing. While the food was genuinely excellent, the service was among the worst we’ve experienced. Despite the restaurant being very quiet, drinks repeatedly took 15–20 minutes to arrive, starters were delayed, and I even had to collect drinks from the service station myself because nobody brought them over. We had to ask for fresh cutlery and steak knives after our mains arrived, and our side dishes came well after the steaks. To make matters worse, a waitress accidentally poured a bottle of Corona over one of our guests, our pre-arranged birthday cake was brought out with no candles at all, and one of two coffees we ordered was simply forgotten. At no point did anyone check on our table or ask if we needed anything, and a nearby table sat uncleared for over two hours. Paying €38 for a steak comes with an expectation of attentive service, and this fell far short. As locals, we’re especially disappointed because we wanted to support our local hotel and restaurant, but sadly we won’t be returning. A real shame, as the kitchen produced excellent food that deserved much better front-of-house service."

"⚠️ WARNING: EXTREMELY POOR HOTEL – AVOID AT ALL COSTS This is honestly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. After traveling to many countries, I have never encountered such a neglected, outdated, and unpleasant place. Condition of the hotel: The entire hotel feels like it hasn’t been renovated in at least 50 years. Everything is worn out, broken, and in terrible condition. Door handles are loose, furniture is damaged, and the overall atmosphere is depressing. Cleanliness: Absolutely unacceptable. The carpets are filthy and look decades old. The floors are dirty, and it feels like nothing has been properly cleaned in years. Bathroom & shower: Disgusting. The bathtub is cracked, old, and looks extremely unhygienic. The shower is rusty and in such poor condition that it was genuinely unpleasant to use. It felt dirty even after trying to clean it myself. Heating & windows: Heating does not work at all. Old radiators provide no warmth, and cold air comes through the windows constantly. The room was freezing. Noise: From early morning (around 8 AM), there was constant noise. You can hear everything — neighbors, movement, and general disturbance. No chance to rest. Bed & bedding: The bed creaks with every movement. The blanket feels like it’s made of paper — thin, uncomfortable, and completely inadequate. Overall impression: This place is in terrible condition and should not be operating as a hotel. It is outdated, dirty, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained in every possible way. ❌ I strongly do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. You will be extremely disappointed."

Hylands Burren Hotel

"Hidden gem. Lovely comfortable hotel with the friendliest of staff. A quirky hotel with well presented rooms and lovely seating areas. Very clean and breakfast was very good. Great value for money. Don’t pass this one out. Great place to tour north Clare and just relax and take in the scenery."

Queens Hotel

"A little bit far from the main bus station but its still manageable."

Old Ground Hotel

"Le centre de l'hôtel est situé à l'extérieur de l'île de la ville. La chambre était spacieuse, sans place, et très confortable, ce qui a facilité la relaxation après avoir vérifié la ville. La location ne pouvait pas être meilleure, juste au cœur d'Ennis, avec un parking gratuit. Globalement, l'hôtel Old Ground offre un charme, une convenance et une véritable hospitalité irlandaise."
