Hotel was nice when windows were closed. Our room faced the parking lot. Either the window open, you heard the bus stop below until late hours. The buses would idle and back up with their beepers. Then, early morning, trucks would start with their deliveries. I hated the location of the room and the noise. However, the hotel was very nice, the staff great and the location awesome. If you stay here on hot days, I recommend requesting a room away from the parking lot.

The hotel itself is very clean and upscale, and the room was better than expected for the price. Just about every staff member we interacted with from reception to maid services to breakfast hall was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. The bed was quite comfortable and larger than other king beds in Ireland (seemed closer to an American king size). Easy access to the Atlantic coast, Cliffs of Moher, Poulnabrone dolmen, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, Craggaunowen, etc. Would absolutely stay there again.

The location is great for walking to Ennis sites and restaurants. Staff was friendly. Things wish I’d known before staying here: there are NO outlets in the bathroom. Even if you brought converters (we did) you can’t use them in the bathroom. The hair dryer is in a drawer in the bedroom and can’t be moved so you’re getting ready in the bedroom where the lighting wasn’t great. There is no air conditioning. Our stay was during a heat wave and it was HOT in the room and made it hard to sleep. Overall, the hotel was fine but I wish I’d known these details.

The hotel is very conveniently located.
We ate in the informal restaurant. There was a problem with the fridge so the wine was warm. The seabass meal was very small which is so unusual for Ireland. No veg offered and the staff were just no where to be seen. It may just have been an unlucky night but I wouldn't eat there again.

Breakfast very poor. The breakfast is not freshly cooked to order. The menu as listed is not available. There was not even Irish soda bread just cheap supermarket sliced bread and a buffet breakfast. Really poor. As for the bedroom the towels were tiny. No net curtains on the windows so we had to close the curtains and turn in the lights. Hair dryer didn’t work. Basically in his hotel every expense is spared.

Central hotel.

The hotel is very central to the town but lacking atmosphere. The executive room was very basic and bland so not worth the extra money you pay for it. The room was also very stuffy but if you opened the window you had to put up with the noise of the buses outside at the bus stop for most of the night.
The staff in the bar and at breakfast were very friendly. Overall a little disappointed with our stay.

Great hotel

My wife and I arrived for a 3 night stay. The hotel was spotless. The staff at reception were so friendly and professional. We booked a Deluxe room which was fantastic and absolutely spotless. We ate at the hotel for 2 nights and found the food and service excellent. The breakfast was equally as good.. the hotel is situated 2 mins from main shopping . The other night we ate in a pub called Knox's. .Staff were super and food also. Lovely Hotel and great spot for turning.

Wonderful Hotel, Great Service

The staff were incredibly kind and assisted me with the local bus and train timings, even flagging that bus fare is cash-only and they broke my large bill. Top notch service from everyone that I interacted with at the hotel.

It was very humid and although there is no a/c, my room had a fan. The bed was very comfortable and it was one of the most spacious rooms I stayed in Scotland. The bathroom was extremely clean.

The pub is great and has live musicians playing traditional music.

Highly recommend staying here!

Hotel was very nice with history to it. We enjoyed the bar and the breakfast spread in the morning. Easy to park in the lot by the hotel. Our room was a bit plain, but we were visiting Cliffs of Moher and did not mind a more simple room.

Lovely hotel, seemed to cater for everyone, from couples on a short stay to wedding parties. Very comfortable hotel in a very convenient location for Ennis town centre and the surrounding area. Nice entrance and reception, nice lounges and bar and the breakfast was huge and sets you up for the day. Free parking directly outside. Would recommend and will return.

Nice hotel

Very friendly staff. We arrived early morning after an overnight flight. They were kind enough to find an available room and let us check-in by 9:30 for a much needed nap. Comfortable rooms, great location. Only downside is that the bathtubs are high sided making it a bit tricky to get in and out of for a shower.

Temple gate is a very nice hotel offering a variety of dining choices with something in most price ranges. Breakfast is fine, but choices are limited for non-egg eaters. The staff are helpful and attentive. A special shoutout to Lee one of the managers and to Jack in the bar. Delightful fellows and understand service.

The hotel is truly in the center of town and makes it very convenient to walk everywhere. It is literally next to the Clare Museum. Parking was ample and close to the hotel.

The room and beds were comfortable and large enough for two friends to share on holiday.

Enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend.

The perfect hotel to stay in. It is in the centre of town and close to everything. Ennis was great to walk around. You could get a great breakfast in Dunns for 5.75€. The museum right outside the door was free and worth a look. What a wonderful stay!!
