We were a bit concerned when we arrived. The receptionist was not terribly friendly nor welcoming. We wondered if we were at the wrong place.
We deposited our bags in the room and headed to the dining room. We were greeted by Haley, who made up for the initial greeting we received. She was lovely and so friendly. We were treated to wonderful dinner and wine. The restaurant is lovely.
At breakfast we met Meg, who was as wonderful as Haley.
Check out was smooth and easy with Allanah.
We will definitely return!

Booked an early check-in for my stay, however had to wait two hours before a room was available. I initially booked a twin room but was given a family room with a double and a single bed, whether that was because of the wait i don't know. Staff were helpful and apologetic with regards to the room and service was good overall. A lovely place to stay.

Everything about ou stay was great apart from one issue that caused us great grief.
A horrible smell in the room when we walked in.
We opened the window and after a while it got so much better.
We went out for the evening and on returning the smell was as bad if not worse.
So we contacted the night porter and he came to the room and immediately went to the shower and let the water run for some time.
This fixed the problem and thankfully it remained fixed.
Otherwise everything else was great.

Everything was good except that there’s no air conditioning which I wasn’t aware of. However, that is not uncommon in Ireland. Given that, I thought the room rate is high. However, it’s right opposite the Basilica of Our Lady of Knock, and I guess that’s what they’re cashing in on - Location, location, location!

So far out from any restaurants, did have to eat dinner at the hotel and that was the only positive of this hotel. Sammy was very pleasant at dinner time all others not so much. Hotel clerk, hotel waitresses were very rude. Breakfast was included but rate it a 2 out of 5. No clothes iron provided in our room.

The staff were friendly, young and helpful. The choice of food was very good and reasonable in price. The room had everything we needed and was peaceful. Its a two minute walk to the shrine from the hotel.i dont think there is an upper floor. The area was very quiet at the time of year. The hotel is about 25 minutes from the airport by car. There is a bus service from the airport also. Will definitely stay at this hotel again.

A little slice of heaven during a busy week

I was initially given room 101. It had a terrible smell and the WiFi didn't work. The kind staff on the front desk moved me to another room on the same floor as reception. It was beautiful and the wifi worked. Very comfortable bed and the bathroom had a lovely shower. The breakfast was delicious. There was a good choice of fruits, cereals and cooked breakfast. The staff were very attentive. Although, I was in Mayo for business, I enjoyed visiting the spiritual sanctuary that is Knock. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the basilica. I found this to be a gorgeous place to walk in the early morning. I will definitely stay in this hotel again. It is the perfect base for any trip to Mayo

Not for us.

This was a last minute, desperation booking. The hotel serves devotees to a shrine and Catholic Church; not our style at all.
The food, both dinner and breakfast, was good. The servers were inexperienced, which is not their fault. We would not stay there again, but I won’t go so far as to not recommend it.

The hotel room was very clean and well appointed. Because the location of the hotel is quite remote you are dependent on the restaurant for main meals. The evening meal choices were disappointing. This with not helped by the food being served on cold plates, which made the meal itself only warm at the point of service. On one occasion this was bad enough for me to return the plate to the kitchen.

Irish women

We reached the hotel around 8:30pm due to flight delays. Reception staff was excellent n advised us that kitchen is closed. She guided us to a take away but on return the hotel manager would not allow us to eat outside food in the eating areas but allowed us to eat in our room. I am against eating in bedrooms including the stale n food odour later. Being English she could not understand the difference between bedroom day room, dining room kitchen etc which was well explained. But she was an absolute so n so

Great rooms ,very clean, everyone very friendly except for older blonde lady at breakfast, on the first morning a lad from overseas took us to our table , didnt explain buffet or offer us tea/coffee, the receptionist had asked me what time we d like breakfast , i told her my elderly mum wasnt great in the mornings so she told me 10.15 for breakfast , but on both mornings it appears breakfast was near over by then very little left so dont know wether she was wrong or our communication got mixed up, but still very nice and tasty what we did get , the young staff defo need MORE training in customer service and hospitality, lovely young people but need a manager/ senior to train them thoroughly, not their fault , need to be more visible in lobby for ordering and checking up on residents needing service , but over all we had a nice experience in knock hotel just needs more attention to detail

Very handy for Knock Shrine

We stayed for one night for ease of access to Knock Shrine. Staff were very friendly and those we dealt with were very helpful. The heating in our room was on when we arrived meaning that, on a very warm day, it was far too hot. Fan on and window open didn't make much difference. Smokers outside chatting were noisy and smoke drifted in, rain smell of urine in bathroom on arrival. Bed very comfortable, food lovely in evening and morning.

Cold atmosphere stark and basic

This is a conference style hotel, it has a cold atmosphere and very few facilities.
If you are looking for a cosy, comfortable, with the world wide renowned warm Irish hospitality this isn’t the hotel for you.
This hotel is situated next door to a very large religious building, the knock shrine & Basilica.
As soon as you enter the hotel the cold stone floor & walls and high ceiling makes the place feel cold and stark.
The elevator was not working ( due to storm damage) so you need to carry you luggage downstairs to your room, luckily we only had small bags but I feel sorry for anyone with anything larger as no help was offered.
The room was very basic, bed hard, no bathroom ventilation, no refrigerator, no shampoo or body wash or bottled water or anything complimentary.
I asked the front desk if they had convenience shop in the hotel or a vending machine and the answer was no.
The restaurant followed the pattern being basic, cold atmosphere and the food was average to poor and quite expensive vs other hotels we had stayed at with a very basic burger costing 18 euros. Tap water was on offer but it smelt of ammonia.
We will not be staying here again
