Fantastic hotel, great experience!

Obsessed with this hotel! They have several restaurants on site, including one that has live music! We stayed in a suite that was incredibly comfortable and spacious. It was well-equipped. The stay included a very tasty free breakfast and we got a nice gift upon check-out. It’s a great location in Doolin, too. I can’t recommend it enough!

Great little hotel in the center of Doolin. We walked to multiple restaurants, the pier for the ferry, and to the trail head to the Cliffs of Moher. TFI bus stop was right outside the hotel. Staff was friendly and breakfast was great. Room was a nice size and quite clean.

We had a wonderful stay here! Hersh was incredibly helpful at check-in and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t know all the food places closed around 9pm. Without us asking, Hersh offered to see if he can call the attached pub if they can still make us a meal. We had a lovely meal at the Fitz pub with yummy food, amazing staff and wonderful live music. Highly recommend this place!

A friendly hotel that's the biggest name in this little town of Doolin. Very nice people run stylish and well-kept facilities, including two restaurants, a bar and other amenities. They are tricked out for weddings, but our small family gathering felt welcomed and cared for. Try the Doolin red ale.

Music in area by elevator

Room 201 is right next to elevator and music in area by elevator is so loud that it can be heard very well inside room - not a good thing when trying to rest/sleep. Had to ask front desk to turn music off at 10:45pm so we could sleep. Front desk staff nice. Can't sit at table in attached pub and eat, can only eat at bar and in restaurant area. Nice to get two drink tickets for sponsored lager. Good breakfast.
