We loved our stay at the Ritz Hotel in Lisdoonvarna! The staff are very kind and attentive, the welcome guide is incredibly thoughtful and full of great local information, the food is great! Hands down most comfortable bed I've slept on this whole trip. And the live music is lively and fun! Can't wait to return!

The rooms were nice on the second floor. The staff and owner was very accommodating. The gal that cleaned the room was able to put a top sheet on the bed. There is a convenience store across the street for anything you may need. Breakfast was served fast and hot. I would stay again if in the area.

We absolutely loved how wonderful the staff was!!!! They went way above and beyond, assisting with our unintentional midnight arrival due to traffic and travel issues. Plus when we arrived the nice gentleman helped carry our luggage up the stairs. The shower was a little confusing. No a/c or fans but the window opens and that worked just fine.

The staff were great! Unfortunately the room was not. No A/C and water was limited to a trickle. Apart from one amazing Restaurant there is nothing to do for visitors. Free bus service to the cliffs of Moher and entry is offered by the tourist dept.

Wonderful, clean hotel.

Wonderful, clean hotel in the middle of lovely Lisdoonvarna. We spent the night after visiting the nearby Cliffs Of Moher. The hotel has a nice bar/restaurant with live music at night. The included breakfast was fantastic.

Whilst the location was ok, rooms were warm with no cooling which made sleeping a bit difficult. Breakfast was average, I don’t think the cook understands the different was things are cooked particularly eggs. Fried is not the same as poached. Coffee was definitely instant or badly made. Nevertheless the staff were good and helpful.

Insgesamt mittelmäßig. Kein Luxus aber man kann dort übernachten. Sehr nahe an denn Cliffs of Moher daher haben wir dort 2 Nächte übernachtet. Frühstück war gut. Man bekam ein Menü zum bestellen und dann eben eine Self serve corner. Hier war ein Manko: viel zu wenig Brot. Wir sind 4 Personen und alle haben Spiegeleier etc. gefrühstückt. Dazu gab es 4 Scheiben Toast. Das war definitiv zu wenig und man musste einsparen, damit die Kinder noch Toast haben.. Brot gab es am Buffet nicht. Sehr unpraktisch.
