    Cool and easy location to access Sligo. Clean rooms. Breakfast buffet was good but the sausage…read morePattie's were very dry

    This hotel is quite awesome and deserving of a huge shout out. The design alone is impressive as it…read moreis situated on the river and looks like a ship docked in harbor. It's ultra modern vibe with two bars and an award winning restaurant adds to the details that were certainly not overlooked when designing it. Although I personally am not a fan of orange and my room has orange chairs and carpet, that is a minor detail that can easily be overlooked. I know some rooms are orange and some are green. The carpet along the hallways and art work actually reminds me of Coachella which is hilarious since it was pretty recent. The bed is super comfortable and the pillows also extremely comfortable. Only in the middle of the night did I notice that the bed was actually two twin beds pushed together to make a queen size bed. I switched back to the right side and fell back asleep comfortably. The room was extremely spacious and the view of the river from my room remarkable. The bathroom clean and sleek and stocked with the perfect toiletries including liquid body wash which I prefer so much compared to the bars of soap that dry out your skin. For dinner, I went to the cafe on the first floor that serves food until 10 pm and had a delicious vegetable soup with brown bread, as well as an apple and pear tart with crumble served with vanilla custard and whipped cream. The best surprise was the two mini Cadbury eggs on the exquisite plating. They are my favorite Easter candy, and they taste so much better in Ireland than in the States. I was full from the lunch I had, but I knew if I didn't eat I would wake up in the middle of the night famished. Breakfast is served in The Kitchen and is a nice buffet served with options for people who prefer gluten free. I think breakfast is my least favorite meal in Ireland because I just don't enjoy black pudding and beans with overly seasoned grilled tomatoes, but I have been content when I find porridge and fruit. I did enjoy fried egg whites and delicious bread with some fruit...and the butter. Irish butter is just so good. This hotel is sure to please everyone who stays here, and I highly recommend it when in Sligo.

    This hotel probably has one of the hardest-working staffs around. The lone person who checked me in…read moreseemed to be doing everything, and with grace. Ditto for the person who checked me out the next morning. I spent a few extra dollars to get the ocean view rooms, and it was really worth it. I checked in around sunset, so my photos came out far better than they usually do. Continental breakfast was included, and it was much more than I expected. The pantry appears to have stocked every available type of cereal in Ireland, along with a large selection of fresh fruit and deli meats.

    The Strandhill gets 5/5 marks from me for as a 3.5 star hotel (similar to Courtyard Marriott, etc)…read more It doesn't have the amenities of a 4-star hotel, such as a gym or a restaurant (although The Venue, a good pub/restaurant is next door) or room service etc, but it does do an outstanding job within its means of providing its guests with a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel is not directly on the seafront and it's probably about a 12-minute walk into town. The lobby is minimally decorated but very clean and all the staff are genuinely polite, quick and eager to please. The rooms are a dream -- very very large, great balconies with views of the sea, spacious bathrooms with excellent water pressure and big comfortable beds. Free wifi, free parking and complimentary "continental" breakfast. "Continental" in the most self-effacing sense, this breakfast actually includes an impressive spread of cold cuts, yogurts, cereals, boiled eggs, scones, croissants, tea, coffee, juice. We got what we wanted out of Strandhill: a moment of repose, reflection, refreshment and zero hassles. The best place to stay in this town.

    As an earlier reviewer noted, this is really a three star hotel that should not be selling itself…read moreas a four star. While generally okay, it was mostly just a bit underwhelming and very average. We had got a deal off one of the voucher pages which included a spa treatment and brekkie both mornings. Firstly, my spa treatment was a back, neck and shoulder massage and while not the worst that I've had, was far from the best. The relaxation suite was quite nice but the jacuzzi was tiny and overcrowded when we were there. The breakfast was overall poorish enough in my opinion. I ordered the baked egg but it was so runny as to be practically inedible (for me anyway) The selection of breads, fruits etc was again just not four star. I didn't actually bother with coming down for breakfast the following day to be honest but my partner did pick up a few croissants for me to nibble with my coffee in the room. I did have a club sandwich later that night in the Middleton Bar and that was delicious in fairness. Plus their cocktails are pretty amazing too!!

    I am rather undecided about rating this hotel and feel a little mean giving it only 2 stars as we…read moregot such a good deal at €99 per room for a night including breakfast with either a spa treatment or golf which had to be booked in advance. Castle Dargan Hotel is not a castle, but a modern built hotel. It is situated in a lovely country setting with wonderful mature trees and views of the surrounding hills and the golf course. It is supposed to be a four star Hotel but it is more deserving of 3 stars. Our accommodation was in an apartment which is in a separate block - very industrial looking - away from the main hotel, as all the hotel rooms were fully booked. While the bedroom was cosy and warm, the bathroom was very small but most alarming for a Hotel of this caliber was the dirty state of the shower! The reception area of the hotel is very austere and cold, badly lacking a fireplace for the winter months, and the main bar which looks out over the first tee of the golf course, was uninviting and freezing cold - but could be due to the floor to ceiling windows and the rainy weather at the time we were there - however, it lacked complete atmosphere. We had dinner in the adjoining restaurant at the reasonable price of approx. €27 for 3 courses and this was really delicious with lovely, friendly waiting staff and a very good choice. Breakfast the next morning was also very good too with a reasonable choice on offer. However, my biggest gripe was with the spa treatment..yes I know it was included in the price for the overnight stay...but it was such a disappointment. I had opted for the balneotherapy and boy was I sorry! Having been given a nice cosy warm dressinggown and slippers, and guided to the supposedly relaxation area to wait for my therapist - this area was crowded with women who sat around chatting out loud, the room was far too bright and certainly not relaxing! Eventually the therapist came and took my to the room for the balneotherapy bath and she explained that it would take 20 minutes and then promptly left the room. The temperature of the bath was just barely tepid and utterly disappointing as a result. When I complained afterwards, with my goose-pimpled body, I was told that there was a problem with the water in this area and the Therapist apologised profusely. Luckily, I was able to go the steam room immediately to heat up! I passed on my complaint to the main receptionist later and she immediately called the Spa Manager to relay my concerns and once again, apolgised profusely. I have no quibble really with the staff who were all very attentive and friendly, but the place seems to seriously lack a good management structure, particularly in the Spa area. Incidentally, my friend who had booked a massage, also complained of the cold, the long wait for her massage, despite booking in advance, and the fact that the therapist yawned constantly while massaging, which was very offputting and ineffective for my friend. Perhaps, I will try the golf next time as I understand the course is very good!
