My husband and I stayed at The Ardilaun for six nights and it was the one of the best experiences we've had when travelling. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. The staff were very warm and hospitable. The Bistro Bar was my husband's favourite as he watched the World Cup games there while having a pint of Guinness. All in all, 10/10 for The Ardilaun for us! We would love to go back.

Would highly recommend this hotel. The staff was incredible- above and beyond- I wish I got the name of the girl working the 2 nights I was there she was great. We utilized the laundry service, which was simple and convenient. £25 a bag. The breakfast was just what you’d expect from a hotel breakfast. The pool was nice- I do wish there was more space to just relax in the pool when I went it was set up for las only- but that might have been the timing. Bistro restaurant was pretty good!

I arrived at about 8:45 AM and was able to check-in as soon as I arrived! Completely changed my day as I was able to get settled before heading out for my Cliffs of Moher tour. This was not a perk I was able to get at other properties I stayed at in Ireland, so it truly made a huge difference and was much appreciated. The staff was so welcoming and I felt very safe and comfortable in the common areas. The breakfast was great and the coffee was delicious. If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Galway, I will be returning to The Ardilaun!!
