Royal Spa Hotel

This is a lovely older property, well maintained, and run by delightful people.

Our room was double booked and we didn't end up staying. We were shown several rooms, none were comparable to the one we booked, rooms seemed dirty.

Nice place to stay

Such a sweet and cute property! My husband and I spent two nights here and both were lovely. The area is quiet and friendly. There are lots of cute reading nooks and a garden. Definitely check out the sitting room if you’re looking for a spot to take some great photos. We arrived late due to some travel issues, but someone was there to help us with our bags and room even at the late hour. Highly recommend the oatmeal for breakfast, 10/10. The only issues we had were some of the outlets didn’t work in the room and the blow dryer also didn’t work. But these were all very minor issues for us, as the service was amazing. We were able to get some great ideas for things to do around the area from the staff, so make sure to ask them if you want some catered advice.

Amazing

Friendly and helpful staff (told me where dinner was available in village), generous freshly cooked breakfast

Excellent and everything perfect!!

I recently stayed at Royal Spa and had a thoroughly disappointing experience. The first impression was far from what was advertised online. The photos on the website showed a clean, modern, and welcoming environment, but the reality was starkly different. Upon entering my room, I was immediately struck by the state of the carpet. This was a significant letdown, as the online pictures had depicted a pristine and well-kept space. The bathroom was equally problematic. The towels provided were dingy and felt unclean, adding to the overall sense of discomfort. In addition to the poor room conditions, the Wi-Fi connection was weak and unreliable, which was a major inconvenience for someone trying to work during their stay. Overall, my stay at Royal Spa was far below expectations. The discrepancy between the online presentation and the actual condition of the hotel was significant. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean place to stay.

Beautiful location. Many breakfast options.

Nice staff, clean room, great Irish breakfast

No real activities to do in area near hotel

Staff was friendly and helpfull

Large clean, comfortable room; conveniently located.

Classic old building, excellently maintained. Prompt and friendly staff. Super soft bed, great water pressure.

Super cute! B&B vibe but hotel like accommodations.

It has an old feeling about it. Like it was grand once upon a time and is fading. A little if the facility wasn’t open. Bar, grounds a locked up. Parking in run down gravel lot behind building. You enter it through a blind gate. Very difficult to pull out of safely.

lovely breakfast

All good at this hotel

The lady charged me for the stay twice

Lovely hotel a bit dated but we didn’t mind no lift but in fairness I think there is only one floor very clean but some of the furnishings didn’t match 2 different bedside lamps need to up the anti for bar food but the breakfast was lovely and fab staff too

Lovely place,staff were very nice,hope to go back here

Nice little hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms need air conditioning though. Really clean and comfortable rooms

Hotel & food were lovely and very good value. Staff very pleasant, especially Antonio. Would love a return trip.

I stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the hotel. The staff were very friendly and eager to help. The hotel was very compliant with HSE guidelines and put my mind at ease. What I liked most was the fact it was very central to visiting the Burren and the surrounding areas. I would have no problem staying at this hotel again.

Stayed here during COVID times, overall the situation was well managed by the hotel. Check-in was efficient, the lady on reception was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is showing its age, but it does not have that musty feeling that some older hotels have, the Royal Spa was very clean. I would readily stay here again.

We stayed here for one night passing through. Good location, in centre of town. Very comfortable bed, quiet at night and lovely breakfast in morning. Nothing luxurious but for basic accommodation it was perfect.

Lovely comfortable bed lovely breakfast and staff.

Stayed one night. Didn’t see much of the town as we were just passing thru to Cliffs. Staff was helpful and friendly. Yummy breakfast , clean shower and room. Bed was a bit hard but no bed is as good as your own. All in all it was perfect.

A very comfortable stay. The breakfast was excellent both mornings. We went to the Roadside Tavern both evenings for the locally brewed beer.

Hotel was in a great location and near to some good restaurants. The room was large with a king sized bed. It could do with some renovation. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good. Good location for the Cliffs of Moher and other sites.

It is an older hotel but it has a quaint and friendly atmosphere that is priceless. We had dinner at there restaurant and enjoyed an excellent meal. The free breakfast the next morning was exceptional as well. I would say there again without hesitation.

the hotel was very quaint and old , 1850 ish quiet location Lisdonvarna is only open one weekend in the year but there is only one decent pub in town the ensuite was dated , bedroom ok but the bed was very creaky and never slept all night .

Our stay was very enjoyable. We were greeted by the owner and welcomed. The room was good and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was really good with home baked breads and cakes. The waitress was exceptionally helpful.

Breakfast was yummy! No hot water. Not even a little bit. I wasn’t able to shower as the water was freezing. Broken toilet seat in our bathroom-

Great staff and location was perfect. Room was clean and the breakfast was excellent.

It is a well-kept and very beautiful hotel. The original building was built in year 1823. We arrived with two kids after visiting Cliffs of Mohers The staff is extremely friendly, highly recommend!

Very friendly and efficient staff. Only drawback was no elevator and it’s a hassle for us with big luggage and being seniors. However the staff were quick to the rescue so all good for us.

Comfortable friendly hotel for a night's stop. Friendly service, nice full breakfast with proper coffee from a good coffee machine. Simple room but clean and comfortable. No lift but the manager helped lugged our 2 heavunluggage to first floor without any fuss. Ample car park at the back of hotel. A number of pubs, cafe and a good Chinese restaurant next door. The sandwich from the cafe looked so delicious. We had pizza, and a home cooked soup that was very tasty.

£90 a night for B and B was a rip off as room Very small and there was no 'family' sense to hotel. It was very impersonal.

Lovely breakfast with best coffee our whole trip! Would stay again here.

Hotel needs updating and the bar closed at 10 o clock Friday night.

What a great location to stay, nice and quiet during our stay and walking distance to local eateries and pubs Room was very nice, spacious and clean. Highly recommended

Travelling with family. Was given a complimentary room for the children. Old rooms, but spacious and comfortable. Reception printed boarding passes for me. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff. Free wifi.

Bed was clean and comfortable, water warm, breakfast filling and tasty. A good spot to rest your bones after touring County Clare.

Bed mattress dipped in the middle so a little uncomfortable

We felt looked after by the kind hosts. Sincere attitude. You can feel good old Irish hospitality. Hotel is roomy and old-fashioned. The banana bread was yummy.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room and hotel was clean; it is an older hotel so keep that in mind. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel & it was good. We booked a room with double bed. The room was small, but had everything we needed. It's a 10 minute drive to Cliffs of Moher and Doolin. Nice tavern around the corner with traditional music in the evening (Roadside Tavern?).

Nice hotel in center of town , old but comfortable nice people.

We only spent one night at the Royal Spa, but it was very pleasant. The hotel is a quaint older building so the room was rather small, but very comfortable. The staff at the desk, in the restaurant and at breakfast were all very friendly and efficient. Our room faced the main street of town, which was not terribly noisy, and we actually enjoyed hearing the music from the bar across the street.

Stay was enjoyable, food was very good, staff were very frindly and helpful. The room was basic and clean, just two small issues, the bed was a bit uncomfortableand there was only one small chair in the room. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Stay was fab. But the wifi didn't work as the code was incorrect on the book

My two friends and I stayed in three separate rooms for one night. The hotel is in the middle of Lisdoonvara My room was spotless. Breakfast was the usual fare. The dining room was a lovely old room but the furniture was a bit mismatched . It was great value for money.

We were a gay couple staying in a really small village (4 pubs, 2 shops and 1 petrol station!) so were nervous about how we'd be received, but no issues at all. Free breakfast, really quaint hotel and the owner couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Rooms were basic, but not in bad condition. Would recommend Lisdoonvarna also as places like The Burren are nearby and each night had live music in the Rathbaun.

Hotel was in a great location, but the room conditions were not satisfactory at all, the trash can was not empty upon check -in and there was mildew on shower curtain.

We received a warm reception in the charming lobby and immediately felt "at home". I was impressed with the lovely original woodwork, tile, and glass. It was like staying on a historic site but with modern conveniences. The garden was lovely, as were the numerous window boxes and planters. The breakfast room was, again, true to the period, but not stuffy or worn. Mary, the owner, couldn't have been more hospitable, checking with us regularly in passing to be sure we were enjoying our stay. Every staff member we met was friendly and helpful.

Good value for money. Staff very courteous. Unfortunately no elevator.

This property has been in operation for almost 200 years. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast very substantial. The drawback is: no lifts. Wifi is limited to the lobby and the village is very small and has limited nightlife. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood!
