We stayed at the Ellison for 3 nights and can not recommend this hotel highly enough. The rooms are spotless and comfortable and a generous size, the location is central with great parking. But above all the staff are absolutely wonderful, we were there last minute for a family funeral and the staff could not have been more accomodating, Patsy especially was so accomodating it made a difficult situation so much easier.

Back again.

Great parking facilities, lots of room.
Friendly, informative, efficient and most helpful receptionist, no delay checking in.
Bar and waiting staff all appeared well trained and very courteous to the guests.
The bedroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable, had a great sleep.
The bathroom was very cramped, and found the shower difficult to adjust the water temperature, otherwise best described as adequate.
Have stayed in the Ellison before and hope to do so again.

Nice hotel; busy road is very noisy

Hotel was lovely. Very handy for hikes in the Croagh Patrick range and on Achill. Very clean, spacious room. Shower wasnt that powerful and my room was facing a scout building - i could hear the traffic from the busy main road as the windows are not sound proof.

Nice enough, clean, convenient parking and easy walk to the town centre. Only down side was a busy road with loud cars on a Friday night. No AC so window was open until it was too annoying, then it was a little stuffy. But for amus a nice stopping off point for some touring of Galway, Connemara Loop, and then Northern Ireland the next day. Breakfast was good as well.

Good stay overall but breakfast needs improved.

Pros
Clean room
Comfortable bed
Staff nice from reception waiter's and cleaners
Food is good in the evening

Cons
Breakfast lets the hotel down it has set times and when you go to the buffet no sausges bacon or eggs. None cooking aswell and the cooks at breakfast cursing some of us do speak another lang and can understand what they are saying. If they cant cope with simple stock management id advise table service frys

Don't book this hotel

Booked a suite at over $300 a night. Room was nice but no A/C. Room was large, all glass in the front and taking in all of the afternoon and evening sun. Turned the room into a sauna. It had to be over 90 degrees Fahrenheit by early afternoon and evening. No way to let the heat out. Tried to get a different room but was told everything was booked. Manager tried to say it would cool off after the sun went down, around 10 pm, but room was still hot well past midnight and never really cooled off. Be careful booking this hotel and make sure the room is on the back side of the hotel. Don't book a suite, I believe all of these rooms are mostly glass and will heat up like a greenhouse on a warm sunny day. A lot of the hotels cater to the tour groups since they fill these hotels every night. They get a better price and the better rooms.

Lovely hotel. Easy free parking if staying at hotel. Dunnes, Next Tesco, McDonald's all a few min walk away. Lost of Bars and restaurants close by.
We had breakfast in the hotel and it was really tasty. Staff are very friendly, especially the guy on the reception in the evenings, he recommended a few pubs for us to try with music.
We were really lucky as the weather was beautiful but
The rooms got a bit stuffy and I didn't realise I could turn down the heating at the radiator in the room till I was leaving.

Staff Reception and Management were all fantastic! Our stay was at a time just after the major storm but nothing was too much. I had flown in from Portugal but the stories I heard from local people who the hotel had looked after during this awful time was amazing. Well done The Ellison. I had an amazing stay with my husband and will be booking again soon! Message to Chef! Your Angus Steak was Incredible and Cooked to Perfection ! Wow

I stay was for business which had me arrive very late at night and depart early morning. The hotel reception did call me to clarify that I would be staying as they grew concerned at the time of evening before my arrival which I appreciated. The reception were very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Car Parking facilities were free and adjoining the hotel which allowed. me to leave my car and arrive safely at the reception desk without walking outdoors. Although I hadn’t the time for breakfast in the morning, the smell from the restaurant Was tempting.

Loved the location opposite the Mayo Peace Garden and just 10 mins walk from the hustle of Castlebar. Breakfasts were great but the restaurant menu wasn't easy for me as I'm Gluten and Dairy Free. NO PROBLEM - our lovely waitress chatted with the chef and I had an absolutely delicious Thai curry. Thank you so much for your care and attention. We had a great stay X

Great hotel

You will need to book your breakfast times on arrival as they get very busy. There is no air con so on a warm night it can be difficult to sleep, otherwise the hotel is great. We had dinner on both nights and the food was exceptional with plenty of staff. The bedrooms are very comfortable and well kept. The decor is carried throughout the hotel, even to the cushions on the bed. Plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe. The hotel is located a short walk to the main street and loads of shops. Shaws clothes shop and Boots are next door to the hotel, and there is a Tesco across the road.

Room was very hot, no air con (I appreciate its Ireland but it was a warm day and night). And if you opened the window you heard the busy road outside!
Breakfast was fine but lacked imagination and the sense everything was cooked from fresh ingredients rather that prepared bought in food.

Room with a rue

I asked if there was a vegetarian option for breakfast on check in (Victoria) and only got a vague guess. Turns out it was limited, no veggie/vegan sausages etc.
What if one didn't eat eggs or mushrooms?
(Which I don't).

It was a cramped, corner room (319) that I stayed in, and unfortunately it had an extreme amount of external noise. Bottles going into skips throughout the night, along with people gathering.
I should have changed it after checking in but I was too tired, but I didn't expect the aforementioned, regardless of the crampiness etc.
In fairness Felicity apologised when I checked out.

Great hotel, amazing staff, great location

Well done Ellison hotel! Wonderful staff. I've been to numerous hotels and have never seen one where everyone was so kind, attentive and welcoming. In addition, excellent rooms and facilities, great food (e.g., best seafood chowder I've ever had) and central location with all shops within short walking distance. Though I was on a business trip, I had time to admire some of the beauty of Co. Mayo and fell in love with it.

We visited for an event and were delighted to discover there was a sky bridge connecting out hotel to the venue.
We had a family room which was huge and had everything we needed and more.
Tea/coffee making, as well as bottles of water and some biscuits for a little snack.
We had lunch and breakfast in their ground floor restaurant and the food was fabulous.
