The first time was six years ago, the service quality was very good, so it was my first choice when I came to Ireland after the new crown. Unfortunately, the whole feeling this time was far from the first time, and I was quite disappointed☹️…
First of all, the wireless network in the room was often interrupted or there was no signal. I called the front desk and the reply we got was that the signal was not good in the countryside. Now that technology is so advanced, such a reason is really far-fetched.
Secondly, there was no drinking water in the room. I asked the waiter to bring water, but the waiter asked us to get it ourselves. Is this the service that a star-rated hotel should have? 
I understand that the store uses handwritten menus to show their high-end, but the font of the entire menu is very difficult to read. It is so dense that people feel dizzy. It is not the kind of comfortable and clear font and layout.
Since it is a castle hotel, people should be able to walk around. It was possible six years ago, but now many places are surrounded by gates. It is impossible to walk around.

All the reviews point to one conclusion. This is a very special place. not just because the Hotel, bedrooms, food, location & setting are perfect. What separates this from many other good hotels is the hands on attention from Brian, Ronan and the excellent staff. Its hard work to make eveyone feel special -every day. I've experienced their care in difficult times and their welcome recently to our group of oldies. Many Irish people know this hotel. If you are reading this from afar -just make sure you try and fit in the Abbeyglen. There is so much to do in the area too. Make sure you can spend time to savour Connemara. Dont rush it. This is a unique place to make as a base.

This is a lovely family-run guest house that is 7 minutes walk from the heart of Clifden. It has lovely spacious rooms throughout that are tastefully decorated. It is completely quiet and looks out on to water. A special place in heaven for owners who serve proper orange juice for breakfast. I had fresh hake most mornings. Am so glad, beans in tomato sauce are not provided. The Irish breakfast was wonderful with great ingredients along with other great options. This is our second time staying and two further things stood out this time: One, was the dedication of the owners to the place - especially Julia’s. This is something money can’t really buy. Two, the level of hospitality know-how within the - wider - family. Wonderful experience overall.

We have traveled all around the world and this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. It was friendly and the staff were excellent but with Ronan « one of the owners « treating you like one of the family it was a very pelassent experience. The food was top class and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We certainly will be back again.

Booked this trip on Rorys travel group never heard of the hotel before so not sure what to expect. We got a lovely hotel in beautiful gardens . The staff were all fantastic all trained very well but two stood out John in the bar and Siobhan at the front desk who I call about 5 times and she called me back as I had a few issues before we got there . The food was very good and the bed just right we will be back
