Provider-sourced guest reviews.
I enjoyed my stay enormously and would heartily recommend it to others. My only minor criticism is that parking is a bit tight, though I was always able to find a spot.
Fantastic breakfast and excellent good selection in the Bar/Restaurant
Hotel room was extremely outdated… especially for the price. Noise outside with construction started before 8am. Busy street below , very loud
The service was great the breakfast that was I closed was delicious and the location was perfect
Spectacular hotel. Location walkable to town, great restaurants on premises with choice of several options. Nice bar with music. Town tour leaves from the hotel. Laundry bag done for e14 and ready for us the same day if we left it early. We were happy with the room which was modest but quite acceptable and pleasant. Nice staff. Easy parking. Nothing negative to say
Fabulous hotel in a great location
Parking is available. Staff very welcoming. Very good breakfast
Fabulous breakfast. Walkable to town
It’s time for this hotel be modernized a little bit. I know you wanna keep your historic values but I believe you could do that while also bringing some modern amenities to the hotel. With no air conditioning and only being able to slightly crack your window and not haven’t ceiling feelings it made it difficult to sleep throughout the night with the room being so hot.. Also, the street traffic took some getting used to. Note: The staff were very pleasant and friendly.
The hotel was very busy so we expected a nosy night but even with the window open it was a good nights sleep. Nice location with shops within walking distance.
I had a wonderful stay. They have added/changed to entrance/bar area and it certainly has added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Nightly music was superb as I wanted a restful break so the pianist was excellent. Bed very comfortable but rooms slightly dated in comparison to the updated new entrance. Pool area was spotless and all sauna and steam room jacuzzi were warm and working. Staff very friendly and efficient. It was great to see James (owner) present, checking we are ok, exchanging pleasantries and working like everyone else. Very enjoyable stay. Prices have increased since I was last there but that is to be expected.
The staff members were unbelievably kind and hospitable! It was about a 5-10 minute walk into the main part of town. There is no air conditioning, which only was noticed when trying to sleep at night. The open windows helped, as did the fan. The remodeled lobby and bar are very nice!
We got a really warm welcome on arrival which was lovely. They accommodated us having dinner even though we arrived only just before 9pm. Food was really tasty and service was great - plenty of well trained staff. The hotel all looks newly decorated and is finished to a very high standard - felt luxurious. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was great. Plenty of car parking although it was very full, but we did manage to find a space.
Rooms were comfortable, great breakfast in the morning. Easy walking into Clifden, a great location!

Hotel was pretty dirty
When we checked in our room was on the first floor on the road side of the hotel. Located in the main part of town the road going past the hotel is very busy and noisy. Because there is no A/C and it was warm the windows were open and it was very noisy. Tried to change rooms but were told hotel was completely full. Another couple who had checked in right after us was at the front desk right behind us complaining about the same thing. At over $300 a night, for a motel 6 quality room, it was very disappointing. These hotels cater to the tour bus industry to fill them up every night so not only do they get a better price but they get the best rooms on the non-road side and less noisy. very hard to relax and sleep with all the noise.
We paid for a deluxe double room & didn’t see anything deluxe. Very basic room. The tea/coffee facilities squeezed into a tiny gap hanging off the edge. Tile’s broken on bathroom floor. Overall would have been grand if it hadn’t been the price we were charged. The castle across the road was only £57 more & that was phenomenal so we expected more for the price.
The staff was phenomenal! From Fiona at reception to Natasha in the restaurant and everyone else. They made you feel like a part of the family. This is my 3rd visit.
Lovely stay but construction work ongoing so we couldn’t really experience the hotel at its best. We will return once completed.
It was a really great experience
It was a very convenient location
Convenient property within walking distance of everything. Multiple dining options nearby and located close to stunning beaches and scenery.
Great stay despite the renovations, will back. Were the cornflakes Kellogs ?
Under construction so obviously there is some disarray outside and noise . The hotel accounted for that prior to us arriving, so we were aware. Great property, convenient with a great staff.
Lovely comfortable hotel with access to leisure centre. Great dinner and breakfast in hotel across the lane.
The only negative I would say is right now it is under renovations which we didn’t know until after we booked. More significant signs for entrances and dining would have been helpful.
Enjoyed the hotel, only complaint is hot water never hot, just warm
Lovely!
Really nice room with comfortable beds. We ended up with a double and 2 single beds. Clifden is a really pretty town with tons of restaurants and nice High streets with lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from and nice shops. I drove out to the Clifden castle and hiked in (note, the entry point is near the wall that looks like a castle) about 2km(?). We stopped by the beach for a look. Fairly touristy hotel with live music on the lobby and several busloads of tour groups also staying. Breakfast is included in your price with large buffet selection of cold and hot items, plus coffee/tea. Very quiet hotel stay regardless. Laundry is NOT on site, but can be sent out. Local laundrette machines available at nearby Sweeney Oil and Gas station, outdoors if you want to do your own (only takes credit cards!). Convenient location not far from Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey
An average hotel with rooms that are a little on the dated side. The shower was awful and barely a trickle. We ate in the bar during the evening and although the food was good the waiting staff were inattentive and unfriendly. Breakfast in the morning was average. No vegetarian options for a hot breakfast - just fruit and cereal.
Very hot showers and comfortable beds
Fiona at the front desk was very helpful, which started our stay off nicely. The room was spacious, the bed/pillows were comfortable. Th bathroom had a large tub, great water pressure and towels. Easy walk to downtown. Easy drive to sites.
Exceptional service from check-in to check-out. Darrin was very professional and welcoming. He ensured our stay was enjoyable and made recommendations for day trips with less busy and unique stops. The restaurant dinner was excellent (we had oysters, mussels, and duck confit) with a full wine list. There was live music in the lounge and a bar/library to relax in. Rooms were basic with the bathroom needing a bit of updating, but comfortable. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, however, a fan was provided and with the window open we slept well. The campus was nicely appointed with a fitness center, spa, and pool. Several pubs and restaurants within walking distance, however we ate at both the hotel restaurant and station house pub as the food selection was good and tasty.
Nice staff helpful Great piano player Clean efficient Morning breakfast good and well serviced
This hotel works very well. Is central and good breakfast and lovely staff. Excellent pool
The hotel is excellent! Friendly staff, updated comfortable and clean rooms, great food and hotel bar, and great location to explore charming Clifden. I recommend driving down from Westport Mayo on the Wild Atlantic Way before you arrive. Such a charming part of this beautiful country!
Wonderful and helpful staff. Great breakfast.
The staff was very helpful with all our needs. Breakfast was excellent, we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant and really enjoyed a lovely massage and the jacuzzi! I would stay here again for sure.
Wonderful
staff was wonderful! after 24 hours of rental car trouble, last minute decision to go to Clifden as a change of plans and this was just what we needed!
Very good location
Clifen Central Station House is a lovely hotel. Wonderful staff, so friendly and accommodating. Buffet breakfast is very good and they are happy to make something off menu. Perfect location to walk to town center, pubs and restaurants.
Downtown location, charming village center, close to mountains.
The hotel is close to everything. The hotel is clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was awesome. I highly recommend the The Clifden Station House Hotel
Clean great location and safe for the kids
Really welcoming. Got us into our room a little early. Fun pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. Breakfast was delicious and they were very attentive.
It was a really good stay- the staff went the extra to provide good service - really appreciated this
A great welcome from Clare(?), from Boston, who couldn't do enough. The guys across the way in the bar/restaurant were also fab, particularly in giving advice on Irish malts. As a newbie, I wasn't sure what I would like. Only downside was the water in the room not being replaced. When I asked about it, I was told it was only for arrival, so whether you stay 1 night or 3 you only get one lot of water. Either offer it or not. The bar staff were very accomodating there too
Great location. Friendly professional staff. Good GF options. Mainly mid to older guests, but it was term time. Hot tub could have been hot rather than warm.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We will be going back!
The hotel has a good vibe, and there are many pubs and restaurants that are walking distance. Great shower/water pressure.
We loved this hotel! Our room was quiet, clean, modern and quite large. The desk agent was very friendly and welcoming. There was plenty of parking available and we were able to walk across the parking lot for dinner and also just around the corner to pick up some snacks for our road trip. Breakfast was wonderful with many options to choose from.
Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and food was excellent
Hotel was very nice, no AC but otherwise very nice. Staff was fantastic especially Claire. She was so helpful and kind
We really enjoyed our time at the Clifden House. It was quiet and comfortable and easy to get to and from. Food was really good, we ate there for breakfast and dinner and both were really good.
Good spot. Very convenient to town and outside activities. Friendly staff. Would stay there again.
We liked the train depot atmosphere of the bar area and the food was very good. The breakfast in the hotel was also very good with a great selection. We slept well; the bed was very comfortable.
Nice place in a key location.
Good clean
Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms, fantastic breakfast and great location.
This is a lovely hotel. I would highly recommend it.
Excellent hotel and restaurant especially for dinner. Highly recommend it
Very helpful staff. Comfortable Room. Breakfast could have a little more variety
Wonderful stay. Great staff. Very friendly.
Good Hotel on the edge of the city center. Walking to all pubs and restaurants and shopping.
Location
Service was good and all were very friendly. Rooms were adequate, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was average.
We had a lovely stay at the station house hotel. The staff were lovely and looked after as very well especially Fiona on reception As indoor dining was not opened up yet we ate 2 nights of our 3 in the hotel once in the bar and once in the restaurant both excellent
Hotel needs updating Very expensive for a older hotel Our room was outside house keeping office/base, very noisy- laughing and chatting which could be heard clearly in our room from early in the morning
Pleasant helpful staff, nice room and food was great
Great hotel walking distance from Clifden town. Hotel facilities are very nice and there is a restaurant across the courtyard affiliated with the hotel that has some of the best food we have ever eaten. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make you glad you are there from the moment you arrive.
Really enjoyed our stay at Station House. Management and staff very friendly and helpful,we have been coming to the hotel since 2014 enjoyed the relaxation and comfort of the place, Looking forward to seeing you in the New year.
very comfortable and friendly staff. Excellent location
Great location, helpful staff. Access to full service leisure center. Multiple restaurants on site. Great breakfast included. Spacious rooms, very clean and modern.
Friendly staff, good location within easy reach of centre
Hotel was very clean, had a nice friendly atmosphere and staff could not have been more helpful . Food was very nice , enjoyed the vast range for breakfast, Location was perfect for touring ,lovely scenery. Will definitely be back.
For no apparent reason they gave us a room with a handicapped bathroom. Simply not worth the money - not even close
Ss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Great location - superb restaurant - Great people - good value :)
We stayed here for a mid week night. We probably had higher expectations considering it was €130 for one night on a Wednesday. Location: The location is great, perfect jumping off point for Connemara and right in the center of town. Breakfast: The breakfast was great, but very busy, definitely worth getting down for around 8.30am or earlier. We went down around 9am we had to wait in the foyer for 10 minutes which was fine but it was very busy in the dining room Room: The room was big, we had a corner room at the end of the hall so that was great. It was really quiet, I don't remember hearing anybody else but maybe you would if you were further down the hall but no complaints there at all. We had a coupe of small problems with the room (Hair Dryer was broken, bathroom door handle was broken and the bath filled up with water very quickly and didn't drain for a whole after having a shower). The bed was very comfortable. We didn't use the pool or exercise facilities so I can't speak for them. Overall: Overall is was a nice hotel but for this price I would have expected a much better standard
Friendly staffs and beautiful breakfast, rooms is really nice, and location is good for where we wanted to go
Clean spot, only drawback is the main bar is across the car park
Friendliness of all the staff. Very comfortable room. Very local to town centre.
Perfect location,friendly helpful staff, good food , pity about the weather,,,!!!!
Lovely hotel, close to the centre so able to walk into Clifden. We ate once in the bar across the road, it was lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, buffet style but plenty of it and all fresh.
Fairly old and dated hotel on the main road, but fortunately traffic noise was low during the night. Easy access to the centre of town. Car parking was limited and dinner was only available at the hotels bar across the road. Food was ok but not memorable.
Easy to locate, self parking, quick check-in and a very spacious and clean room
Staff at this hotel go above and beyond to make their guest's stay a easure. Will definitely be back
Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and the lady who was helping was very sweet. Walking distance to many restaurants.
Good location with ample parking. Good bar with food and a good quality breakfast in the morning. Great staff in the restaurant in the morning who were very friendly and attentive.
Excellent location and extremely helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious and very complete with freshly made pancakes, smoked salmon and other similar delicacies. The Station Bar across the road is a great alternative if you don’t feel like waking the 200meters into town. Full access to the swimming pool and spa services available for a charge. A wonderful place to recover your energy after your physically active days in Connemara.
Lovely hotel, wonderful food. Great welcome. Huge breakfast with lots of choice. Had a lovely meal in the station house bar. A quiet evening in the cosy library bar spoilt by a barrage of bad language from other guests. We'd have thought that hotel staff might have had a quiet word.
Terrible weather compensated for by wonderful staff
I enjoyed my stay. Clifden is an interesting town to visit.
No coffee at the bar ! When I asked about this facility the lady asked if I was a paying guest !!! How dreadful was told to go across the road to pub
Loved Clifden, unfortunately there was a problem, in the morning, there was no hot water.
Excellent stay. Room and amenities in hotel are first class. Breakfast buffet was excellent and staff are very professional. Good parking and close to town centre
Excellent Hotel to stay in. Staff in all areas went out of their way to make us feel welcome and made sure we were comfortable - from Front Desk, to Housekeeping, to the Restaurant and Bar. Breakfast excellent and so was dinner. Compliments and congratulations to all concened - and their excellent General Manager (Anne Marie).
Nice hotel very peaceful and quiet easy parking lifts to all floors highly recommend
