My husband and I stayed at The Ardilaun for six nights and it was the one of the best experiences we've had when travelling. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. The staff were very warm and hospitable. The Bistro Bar was my husband's favourite as he watched the World Cup games there while having a pint of Guinness. All in all, 10/10 for The Ardilaun for us! We would love to go back.

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and found it to be extremely busy with family events. The public areas were not clean, with the lift being grubby with dirt and spilled water for example, that did not seem to be cleaned up across the day. Breakfast was chaotic with poorly laid out tables- we had to find cups and cutlery for ourselves. Staff were busy but seemed over loaded and did not make sure we knew how breakfast service worked. Bedrooms were comfortable and grounds gorgeous with plenty room to park.

We utilized the laundry service, which was simple and convenient. £25 a bag. The breakfast was just what you’d expect from a hotel breakfast. The pool was nice- I do wish there was more space to just relax in the pool when I went it was set up for las only- but that might have been the timing. Bistro restaurant was pretty good!

This was not a perk I was able to get at other properties I stayed at in Ireland, so it truly made a huge difference and was much appreciated. The staff was so welcoming and I felt very safe and comfortable in the common areas. The breakfast was great and the coffee was delicious.

The place was great in theory; the staff were friendly, the setting was nice; there was a nice gym and pool; but I was quite disappointed with a few things, especially for the price. The window in our room was very thin and one could hear everything outside during the night. I left a sign for room service on the door at about 9am and when I returned at 5pm the room has not been touched, and my colleague had to go find somebody to ask for new towels and for our bins to be changed. The shower was cracked or broken and water was leaking all over the floor each time it was used. There was not even a tap to fill a water bottle in the lobby and one had to go and ask the bar staff to fill it up (the bar wasn't open in the morning). I asked for a pint of a particular beer and the keg was gone (which is no problem), but when I asked the bar man if the keg would be changed that night he said it 'probably wouldn't be tonight' because there was no one to cover him, even though there was less than 10 people in the bar and plenty of staff coming in and out. The next night, I asked for a pint again and it was the same story.

When the price is factored in, these little problems start to add up and I would not consider staying there again when one could have a stay of the same quality somewhere else for cheaper.

The room was clean, however it is definitely not a four star hotel as advertised. The room we booked was a superior double and we got a very big room with a double and a single bed which for a romantic getaway really isn’t it. The room was very outdated and in my opinion not worth the money.
Location wise - also not ideal as you would still need to drive everywhere or take a taxi.

Unfortunately our experience in the restaurant was not so good; the staff were so busy clearing and laying the tables they didn’t have time to ask what we wanted; on only one day out of four were we asked if we would like to have eggs cooked. Also the hygiene standards weren’t good. The dining room needs refurbishing and lacks ambience.
We noted that the stairs are poorly lit.

We had a nice big room with a view of entrance and parking lot. The hotel is a bit dated. The jacuzzi and sauna were being maintained so that was disappointing. The bus into the city center was easy to catch. The breakfast was not great. One day there was a huge group in the dining room for breakfast. Service was bad that day. The omelet was totally over cooked- brown on outside and missing key ingredients. The staff in DR were young and inexperienced -In a hurry to grab plates before we were finished.
The food in the bar was mediocre and served very slowly.

Galway area visit

We stayed for 2 nights in this hotel in the City of Galway and we were very pleased with the room, the amenities in the room as well as the services in the hotel. We ate at the bistro both evenings and the food and service was very good. There are lovely areas to sit and relax in the lobby areas as well as the gardens. There was also ample parking. We did not use the spa or pool. The area was safe and the centre of town was about a 30min walk but the boardwalk on the waterfront was closer. The property is well positioned for visiting the Galway area, the Wild Atlantic Way and Connemara areas. Also not that far to Ennis and Cliffs.

Shocked at checkin

When we first checked in we received a room that was still occupied. We walked into the room and a lady was in bed sleeping. This was a shocking experience and I cannot imagine her horror waking up with us looking at her. It was absolutely unacceptable. The receptionist that made the error didn't even apologise for the mistake nor provide anything complimentary for this dismal behavior, although she said that we would receive something complimentary for her lack of excellence. We then received a room that was without shower gel during our stay. The shower was also badly insulated and the towels was drenched with water each time we showered. The staff at the restaurant was super friendly and food was exceptional. All in all... It truly was a socking experience when we checked in and we wont be back.

The hotel was great by itself. Room was great and the overall space was also great. Easy and plenty of parking. It is a decent distance outside of the town centre so you need to taxi or drive to avoid the 30 min walk. I would say we had a different experience with the bar restaurant than perhaps others. While the service was good, the food was not. I’d place it last amongst 10 days of meals we had in Ireland. The fish and chips one had was not crispy rather a bit soggy. So consider options outside of the hotel if you have the ability.

Hotel that has not kept up with the times

Hotel has nice grounds, but the rooms are dated. Stayed at 4 other 4* hotels on my vacation and The Ardilaun did not felt like you do not get what you are paying for. Pillows and bed were not comfortable, walls are paper thin and could hear all surrounding rooms using the bathroom all throughout the night. Door was not closed after servicing, but luckily nothing was taken. On the plus side the staff is amazing, welcoming and attentive.
