The room was sparkling clean. The shower was hot with good shower pressure. The bed was comfortable too. I liked that there was a furnace instead of Central heating because it produces a cozier heat that isn't as dry. It is a few minutes walk to town center, though the stores closed at 6 pm. Breakfast was quite nice- best hash brown and yogurt. I doubt I will ever be in this area again but I highly recommend this hotel.

We just got back from a week at Dromoland castle for my daughter's wedding. Our experience there…read moregreatly exceeded expectations. The wedding could not have gone better. The event space was beautiful. We were blown away by the food at dinner the evening before and at the wedding reception. Our friends are still talking about the risotto, beef Wellington and the fillet. It's rare to experience fine dining at an event, but that's exactly what was provided for us. Our family has traveled extensively. We can happily report that Dromoland is the best overall experience that we have ever had in a hotel. The castle and grounds are gorgeous and meticulously maintained. Most historic hotels have fusty guest rooms. Dromoland had modern, luxurious rooms with state of the art fittings. Everything in the rooms was great, but the beds and showers were world class. Our guests were raving about their accommodations. The common areas were fun to spend time in. The live music was a treat. The food at the castle is by far the best food we had in Ireland. It would hold its own against any fine dining establishment. The bride and groom had an amazing dinner in the Earl of Thomond restaurant. I had the best fish and chips of my life in the Gallery and was pleased to quaff my first pint of Guinness in Ireland at the cocktail bar. Breakfast was an event in itself. The food and service were amazing. We commandeered a large table and spent a couple of hours every morning with a rotating cast of family and friends. The excellent staff took it all in stride. The activities were great- my family was captivated by the falconry. Jane's hotel tour was a lot of fun. One friend played an enjoyable round of golf and our kids tried skeet shooting- all were very happy. Many of us had excursions organized by Dromoland. The drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. The thing that sets Dromoland apart from every other hotel that we have ever stayed at is the level of service. The staff are charming and amazingly helpful. They often anticipated our needs. The attention to detail was awesome. The rooms and common areas were meticulously clean. Turndown service was lovely. The housekeeping staff would even tidy up chargers and cords when they made their rounds. The wedding and our extended stay at Dromoland was a peak experience for our family and friends. We can't recommend the castle highly enough. We should have stayed a few more days just to relax.

This is probably the cleanest and tidiest place I've EVER stayed whilst traveling! Great access to the city centre... maybe a two minute walk down the road? Beautiful grounds and a restaurant on site. Ennis is a lovely little place to visit. This place is almost too nice to be considered a hostel.... it was honestly so lovely! Give this place a visit and make sure to visit Ennis! Great for live music.

I really don't understand why this hostel has received such great reviews. When traveling, a few…read morethings are very important; good WiFi and clean washrooms. This hostel had neither. WiFi is only available in the kitchen and lobby. As soon as you go into another area of the hostel, the WiFi cuts off. I even tried going to the living room next to the lobby, and I lost the WiFi connection. Washrooms were plain weird. You had one huge washroom in a room for 8 people, and there were no curtains or anything to keep the water from leaving the shower area. So basically, after you showered you were walking around on a wet floor trying not to fall. Also, you have to bring your own towel or pay to use one. Breakfast was average. You got toast, a couple of fruit options, jam, butter, 2 choices of cereal and coffee/tea.

I keep coming back here, and I'm not sure why -- it's about as expensive as a B&B without much in the way of amenities. The WiFi, as stated in my tip, is available only in the lobby. This is fairly ridiculous for a hotel. Many of the rooms are a bit shoddy, some are excellent. If you book here, I recommend asking for a recently refurbished room. The service staff are actually excellent -- booking misunderstandings are wiped away with no hassle at all, and everyone seems prepared to help in a professional fashion. The adjoining restaurant offers a fairly weak menu, but the pints are just fine.

Very old and dated. Toilet seat was broken off in our room and staff was unsympathetic. We spent…read morethe night with it and moved to a different room the next day. Rooms are very dark at night. We had no bedside lamps. Shower in 2nd room was extremely dangerous, especially for seniors lacking in grab bars, etc. Everything in this hotel needs an upgrade, and the staff needs some serious customer service training. We were forewarned about the noise, but my AirPods with noise cancellation saved the day in that department. This is probably a zero star hotel in the scheme of things, but they charge like they should rate much higher. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone, and I have friends coming to Ennis in September that I am going to warn off. My advice is to find anywhere else to stay in Ennis, but do not stay here.

The Inn at Dromoland was part of our tour around southern Ireland set up by CIE Tours. It was our…read morethird stop and our least favorite all around stay during our time in Ireland. From service to room quality, and location, The Inn fell short for us. For location, The Inn stands alone and is not surrounded or near any variety of retail or dining. We had to venture into nearby Ennis for any semblance of experience beyond the hotel grounds. A positive relating to location was it put us fairly close to the midway point between the Cliffs of Moher and Galway, so we spent our time at those two locations during our two night stay at The Inn. Outside of that, location is not very desirable, at least for our Ireland experience. Service was okay, but the reception staff were dismissive at times and a few were not very welcome. After a few experiences with them, we avoided the desk. Room quality was another concern. The rooms are updated, so the look of the furnishings and the room were decent, but the quality was rough. The beds were the hardest beds and least comfortable of our trip. Made for very long nights. Additionally, while we are not in Ireland to watch television, our set only got one channel, which made our evenings even longer and a bit boring. Front Desk staff came to the room, but could not assist. Maintenance is not on site beyond 5pm, so nothing was able to be done during our stay. The only bright side about The Inn was their food outlet, Shannigan's. We spent each night here, partially out of enjoyment and partially out of necessity. Overall, The Inn at Dromoland has a ways to go. We were less than impressed, it served its purpose, but did not add anything to our trip around Ireland.

We rented a room with two double beds, and while the space was on the small side, there was still plenty of room to store our luggage and move around. The decor of the general areas and bedrooms are a bit outdated, but the spaces are clean. My husband and I went to the hotel's Shannigan's Gastro Pub for dinner, and the place was very lively. Service was quick, and the food was excellent. While we only stayed one night, the price and location made it worth the stay.
