Worst hotel ever in Ireland. €197 for an uncomfortable basic room (called a deluxe room). There was no chair or sofa to sit on, no place to put a suitcase; everything had to be put on the floor. There was no reception, no one was around, and the entire hotel was outdated. There was a view of the lake and a dirty terrace with no place to relax. No breakfast, although I think it was included in the price. They charged €65 for service...what service? No one saw anyone. No one answered, just a message with an access code. A cold hotel to avoid. The only positive was a good restaurant, thankfully independent of this motel.The booking had to be paid immediately, so cancelling was no longer possible because they no longer answer, this is pure theft

Some improvements needed
Great location right on the water, but the beds themselve were very uncomfortable and the carpets need a good clean. No lid on the toilet either. Would suggest blinds not just curtains. Aswell as an iron in the room, but thats just my personal preference. Easy check in and easy to find rooms. Plenty of parking with bar and restaurant on site. Lovely picturesque location in ireland.

The remote staffing is a new wrinkle to me, but it worked fine. Rathmullen was a bit slow on Monday night, but that’s to be expected.
Hotel was comfortable.

Beautiful location
This is a beautiful hotel and setting, very clean and comfortable, there is a restaurant & bar attached to it but only opens from 5pm, there is no breakfast facilities however there is tea & coffee in the room. Nearby cafe that do excellent breakfast and food. The only downside is that we had an issue with no hot water or heating on the last evening & day so a very cold shower on the day of checking out. It was reported and I believe the maintenance man arrived as we were just leaving. All in all a very pleasant stay

Excellent stay
Absolutely gorgeous setting, we had The Fahan Room and it was just right beside the water. The view was amazing, lovely large window to make the most of the view. Comfy bed and very clean. The bathroom was a little tired but fully functional. It was excellent value for money. Can’t wait to return.
