Abbeyglen Castle Hotel - Clifden

Nur der angrenzende Golfplatz und die zwei Hubschrauberlandeplätze zeugen noch von dem Glanz vergangener Zeiten. Im Inneren dagegen ist dieser im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes von einer dicken Staubschicht überzogen. So war unserer Zimmer alles andere als sauber: staubige Lampenschirme, hinter den Nachttischen wurde wohl schon lange nicht mehr sauber gemacht […] und in der Badewanne lagen noch die Fußnägel von vorherigen Gästen. Das Personal ist zwar bemüht, die Gäste bei Laune zu halten, allerdings war der Service vor allem im Restaurant meist langsam und unaufmerksam. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis halte ich für sehr schlecht, auch im Restaurant entsprechen die sehr gehobenen Preise keinesfalls der Qualität des Menüs. Um das Gesamtbild unseres Aufenthaltes abzurunden tauchten dann beim CheckOut noch zwei Posten auf der Rechnung auf, die nachweislich falsch waren. Anstatt einer höflichen Entschuldigung mussten wir uns auf eine Diskussion einlassen. Mein Eindruck war, dass hier ganz gezielt versucht wurde, noch ein paar Euros mehr rauszuholen. Mehr

We stayed one night but our room was really big with a chimney, couch, big table and a nice view. We wanted to stay in a luxury hotel and we go one.

Sehr netter Empfang, vor dem Abendessen freier Sekt in der Bar. Mitarbeiter schaffen eine sehr persönliche Atmosphäre, man fühlt sich schnell wohl dort. Hotel liegt in der Nähe des Zentrums (ca. 15 Min. zu Fuss). So kann man auch dort mal essen gehen. Restaurant im Hotel ist ebenfalls gut, für jeden Abend aber etwas teuer. Aber jeden Nachmittag gibt […] es kostenlos Tee und Scones! Mehr

Wir haben vier Tage unseres heurigen Irlandurlaubes im Abbeyglen Castle Hotel - gebucht über Hotels.com - verbracht und können das Hotel nur bestens weiterempfehlen! Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig abseits vom Ortszentrum (ca. 10 Minuten Fußweg) am Beginn der Sky Road an einem zum Hotel gehörigen großen Park, der als Pitch and Put 9-Loch Golfkurs angelegt […] worden ist (der – soweit wir das beobachten konnten – allerdings nicht sehr intensiv genutzt wurde). Das Hotel ist leicht zu finden, die Abfahrt von der Sky Road ist gut beschildert, es gibt einen ausreichend großen Parkplatz. Von außen wirkt das Hotel nicht unfreundlich aber etwas eigenartig – eine Reihe von Verzierungen wurden an dem Gebäude angebracht, die den Eindruck erwecken sollen, dass es sich um eine ehemalige Burg handelt, was insgesamt unserer Meinung nach aber nicht sehr gelungen ist. Der Empfang war freundlich, kompetent und rasch. Durch das offene Feuer im Kamin fühlt man sich sofort heimisch. Wenn man Glück hat, ist auch Gilbert gut aufgelegt und spricht ein paar Worte (wer Gilbert ist, findet man bei einem Besuch am besten selbst heraus ;-) Unser Zimmer war sehr groß. Ein Wohnzimmer und ein gleich großes Schlafzimmer, mit einer Tür getrennt, beide mit Blick auf den großen Park. Neben dem Schlafzimmer das Badezimmer mit Badewanne und WC und baulich etwas abgeteilt einem Waschbecken. Einziger kleiner Wermutstropfen: Der Wasserzulauf zum WC war sehr langsam und trotz geschlossener Türe zum Schlafzimmer sehr laut zu hören – nach der zweiten Nacht habe ich das dann selbst behoben. Am Anreisetag gab es am Abend in der Bar einen Willkommensabend, bei dem einer der beiden Hausherren sogar selbst Klavier spielte und sang und dann Roger, the barman, sehr kompetent und unterhaltsam die wichtigsten Ausflugsmöglichkeiten der näheren Umgebung erläuterte. Man erhält (sogar mehrmals) eine kleine Karte der Umgebung mit Kurzbeschreibung der lokalen Highlights. Weiters erhält man jeden Tag die Speisekarte (es gibt à la car Mehr

Ein Landhotel, wie man es sich in England bzw. Irland vorstellt. Schwere Teppiche, dunkles Holz, Kaminfeuer. Und das alles in idyllischer Atmosphäre. Sehr empfehlenswert ist auch das hoteleigene Restaurant mit lokalen Spezialitäten, wie z.B. verschiedenen Lachsvariationen. Für einen romantischen Aufenthalt zu zweit nur zu empfehlen.

the staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. and for the price, you get breakfast, afternoon tea, a champagne reception every evening, and a substantial discount on dinner (still a bit expensive but some of the best food i have had). there isn't a lot to do in the area without a car, but it is a really pretty area if you are up for walking. the […] decor is a little dated and worn (the carpet and curtains in some areas are a bit threadbare) and the beds are old, but it is still beautiful. a great place to relax for a few days.

Someone was smoking in the room below ours. We smelled the smoke the entire night; the smell was on our sheets. Some of the other guest were shouting and laughing, it woke us up. The food was good. The hotel service we received was good.

though I have to agree with other Trip Advisor posters both that it is hard to imagine how it gets a 4 star rating, that the decorator gets very low grades, and everything could use a spruce up. Our room was very comfortable - including the beds and shower pressure - and relaxing by the peat fire in our sitting room was HEAVENLY. The staff goes out […] of their way to make you feel at home, the evening champagne gathering on two of our three evenings in the otherwise dreary bar was very convivial, and the poached salmon I had as a main one eve was I think the best I have ever had. The breakfasts were excellent too. The location - off the main drag of the town but within an easy walk to the charming village. Mehr

I was very much looking forward to my stay at Abbeyglen during a dream trip to Ireland. The receptionist was not very friendly upon our arrival, which was out of the ordinary in Ireland. The information book in the room had a page about room service and stated it was served until 11PM. We tried to order something around 8:30. I was told the chef would […] need to be consulted. When they called back we practicaly had to beg to get them to send up something. They very quickly sent up two trays of breads and desserts, not exactly what we were looking for and not the sandwiches and soup on the room service menu in the info book. I was appalled when I checked out that we were charged 33 Euros. The shower in the room was terrible, barely a trickle came out and the toilet ran for about 10 minutes after flushing. The hotel info states there are acres of grounds to explore, we did not find them. There was a nice garden, but it took about 3 minutes to see it. It was a nice experience but not worth what we paid.

Good, family-run hotel, which happens to be a castle. They do a lot to make your stay enjoyable.

The Abbeyglen had a lot of old world charm and a great lobby African Grey parrot named Gilbert!

Abbeyglen has all the basic right - beautiful hotel in great surroundings, only a short walk into Clifden, and so much to see and do in the general area. But its the little extras that make the Abbeyglen stand out. Each day free afternoon tea and scones were served in the hotel. On the Saturday night, there was a free champagne reception in the bar. […] While we were enjoying a drink, the hotel owner was wandering around taking photos. When we went to dinner that night, there was a photo of myself and the girlfriend printed and placed on the table for us. These small touches are not necessary, but each of them gives the impression that you are a valued customer and makes the hotel that bit more special than most. An excellent hotel, highly recommended! Mehr

This property has been well refurbished from its past as a large abandoned estate. Maintained nicely, but still with an air of the old country house.

Abbyglen Castle is in a great location to see West Ireland and Connemara. The breakfast was very good - a traditional Irish breakfast buffet. There was music during dinner and then in the bar/pub area after dinner. The music was traditional Irish and some locals sang and played instruments as well.

Hôtel château à l'ambiance surannée: boiseries, cheminées... on pourrait se croire dans le décor d'un roman d'Agatha Christie! Un peu vieillot donc mais avec une excellente ambiance: thé entre 3 et 5PM offert, tout comme le "champagne" à 7pm. Excellent petit déjeuner et un bon accueil. Chambre confortable avec lit à baldaquin et cheminée.
