As a big fan of pizza I’m often left disappointed in other restaurants with the end product being too cheesy, too doughy or too greasy.

When breakfast came it was freezing and was the wrong order.

Even when I blew a circuit breaker and plunged my entire room into complete darkness at 5:30 am, Adam was at my door within the 2 minutes promised and there was not a word about “what the ‘eck are you doing blowing circuit breakers – go to sleep”.

The house(7) was freezing on arrival in December(Would not harm to put the heating on for an hour or so) 
Brown sofa was dirty (Arm stains and seat filthy - see photo)

Kitchen chairs also stained.

Having to go from warm to freezing cold temperatures several times a day.

The house we were allocated had a toilet seat on the floor, damage to kitchen units and extractor fan cover and broken blinds on the windows.

Thermostat didn't seem to change the room temperature which was too warm for me.

Maybe the hotel should do more to eliminate this over powering smell  by proper ventilation in cooking area  etc.

The beds have one duvet, no upper sheet, so you are either roasting or freezing.

The people  working at the desk also do not know how the heating system works.

A few heaters wouldn't go amiss and would be essential in the colder months.

but was freezing and raining when we were here so drove our car the few minutes.

After returning to the USA we discovered that the PJs we purchased at the Shaggy Sheep were defective.

Heating had been turned on and efforts to heat the building had been made,

It had a water heater for tea and coffee; no fridge and for some reason the housekeeper never seemed to leave enough towels.

Disadvantages were no AC (although the room blew out quickly with the windows open wide) and the the WiFi signal did not reach even half way down the hallway and I had to sit in the lobby to do my browsing--with a mohito next to me.

It was freezing when we arrived at the hotel having just walked the Cliffs of Moher.

There is a restaurant at the other end of the shop lot with mediocre food (I may be a bit biased here since I am not a huge fan of Irish food to begin with).

The staff were so friendly and helpful and just alround wonderful.

The food was great and the staff were friendly.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating, in particular Stephen, who went out of how way to collect us from Liscannor and bring us back to the hotel.

Staff was friendly and hotel very clean and nice.

All the staff were so welcoming and friendly, the hotel decor is quirky and cool, food was great, and the bar had a fun atmosphere with live music.

very environmentally friendly, no single serving plastics, beautiful Voya products in the bathroom, lovely bed linens .

The staff were so friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble.

The receptionist was brilliant from start to finish , & the lady who was manager extremely friendly and very professional.

The first thing I noticed is how friendly the reception staff are.

The great breakfast and the friendly service here was so appreciated.

All staff were very friendly and helpful particularly the night porters Monty and Marius.

The staff were incredibly accomodating to my dietary requirements and so kind and friendly.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The staff are so friendly, welcoming and nothing appeared an effort to them.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating and service was excellent.

Comfortable rooms, friendly staff and attention to detail.Great walking routes and easy to visit the arran islands from here.

Fitz pub is attached to hotel and a lovely place for live music.

The pub is class , cosy and loads of craic with trad music .

A lot of the planning is done for you as it's part of the package such as the decor (by Rí Weddings who is phenomenal), wedding cake and DJ.

We attended a lovely wedding here this week and everything was such a wonderful occasion from the moment we arrived, the warm welcome from Emily and indeed all the staff here could not have been more pleasant and anxious to make it a great experience - the food the music and the general ambience was really lovely.

We went into the bar in the same building after for great music and songs.

Once finished Nianh found us a table across from the fire and we had some drinks listening to the live music.

The music recommended by Paul last minute was great and a big hit with our guests!

Great food options and first class music offerings.

The team created a flawless day for us - the food, the music, the decor.

The hotel really comes alive at night with music in the bar and we were treated to a live concert in the garden which was fab
Breakfast is 5 star and the best out of any of the hotels we stayed on our trip and, food in general was excellent.

However on a positive note the pizzas and quality of music in the garden that night were excellent.

The food in the restaurant was delicious and on one of the evenings we had our meal outdoors in the courtyard while listening to live music which was lovely.

It was a lovely sunny evening and we availed of a table in the garden where we listened to the live music.

We sat in the garden both nights until 11pm listening to the music, loved Jimmy Mac!

went to Fitz's bar last night for dinner and what can I say, Wow.

Sissel that works in the bar and restaurant was one of the nicest staff we have met in years and Chef Luans food was outstanding and he was so pleasant to speak to.

The hotel also has food in the bar and it has a pizza area outside

While waiting a lovely Carla got us drinks from the café and even went into the bar to get some fresh draft beer.

The whole atmosphere and layout of the hotel, outdoor areas, bar restaurant etc was fabulous.

We ate in the restaurant beside the bar and the food was disappointing.

We ate in the bar as well and the food was excellent and I have to give a shout out to Serenia and Paul in the bar both of whom went out of their way to look after us and make us feel so welcome.

We ate in Fitz's bar for dinner and despite the covid restrictions there was still a nice buzz about the place.

Stayed for 1 night wish it was more the hotel has a the most amazing beer garden bar and food loved our stay everything you need for you stay in the one spot.

We ate in the bar on the Friday night and the food was lovely.

The staff, food and facilities were consistent as ever and with confidence we were eased back into post lockdown holidays.Most of all I commend the restaurant and bar staff who visibly sanitised their hands numerous times in the hour and a half we dined one evening .

We came down over night had dinner in the bar, beautiful dinner while we where listening to trad music .

We ate in Fitz”s bar and the food was beautiful and great value.

We also ate in Fitz's bar the food was amazing along with the ambiance.

All staff are super friendly and helpful, room is very large and comfortable and the bar food lunch & dinner was top notch!

Monday nights they host a local band in the restaurant / bar.

The food in the restaurant, cafe, bar and room service are all absolutely amazing.

The food both at the wedding and in the bar was tasty and filling.

Doolin is known for its Irish music and Hotel Doolin didn’t disappoint with its bars and restaurant offerings.

I decided to proceeded down to reception for a gas mask or a very strong room freshener I got neither the lady said that they don’t supply these items at the hotel so I should go and get my own which I thought was quite cheeky she then advised me that there is a store called supervalue in launch I don’t feel like those roomfreshners would of worked I think industrial roomfreshners would do a better job for the 2 nights that where staying at this hotel the odour never went away at some points it got so bad we had to stick our heads out the window.

but we were not right next to the smokers (As reformed smokers, we are probably the biggest bane of smokers).

For both mornings, we visited the restaurant, remembering the smell of the fish both nights before.

only problem with room was strong smell of smoke which was not desirable with young family.

The towels seemed like they where there for quite a while because they where musty & had started to look a tinge yellowish.

The common areas - for whatever reason smelled like cats.

I am allergic to the smell of smoke and my husband has asthma so it was not going to work.

Microbrew celebration in courtyard that was going until midnite with electric music and renovation going on that gave the hallways a toxic smell that mixed poorly with the chlorine odors emanating from the service laundry on first floor.

My only negative comment is that there was a smell in the room which may have been smoke or I don’t know what it was I know they are non-smoking rooms as was pointed out by receptionist when we told her.

The toiletries smell beautiful, especially the shower gel, I should have bought one before I left.

In the bathroom there were the most amazing smelling hand & body washes.There was a bag of seaweed which you could use & pay an extra 10 euro.

I was able to overlook the pipes rattling after flushing the toilet, the fact that the front desk didn't tell us we needed to use our key for the electricity to work or the fact that the curtain sheers were filthy.

Our corridor stunk of cannabis for most of the time we were there, I'm just  unsure if it was a guest getting stoned or the room service staff having a sneaky spliff- hence the room not being cleaned?

Especially the night  bar staff Stephen and Mariusz.

Receptions, who was from Donegal, was such a pleasant person.

The team at reception were amazing at helping guests and flexing to any of our needs!!

Drinks arrived quickly and with a smile from Larry.

the reception staff rang up every day to discretly know what could they do to help on that day.

Hey we are folks  from the United States whom decided to stay here on my trip around the Emerald Isle with my family.

Special shout out to Jeanne and Sophie for your great service!

Similar to all the other reviews, I have to complement the great staff  - Yasmin, Alma, Stephen, Mariusz, Tracey, Sissel, John, Loan, Monica, Megan, Aoibhann, Brian Shane F, Niamh, Paul, sorry if I forgot anyone!

but it was the staff that are the jewel in the crown.

I cannot compliment the staff enough from bar to waiters to reception to housekeeping… they all go over and above.

Especially Yasmin on reception who couldn’t have been more helpful.

I need to mention a few people the outstanding staff..
Yasmin, Alma, Stephen, Mariusz, Tracey, Sissel, John, Loan, Monica, Megan, Aoibhann, Brian Shane F, Niamh, Paul,  without ye, the hotel would not be what it is, yes the location and interior amazing, all together 5 star.

Breakfast was really nice a la carte and efficient.

Vesna was so kind and organised a beautiful window table for us in the Fitz restaurant where we were looked after by Paul and Megan.

We were there until the very last minute, and they were complete gentlemen.

My family and I travelled to Hotel Doolin several times before the wedding and the service, standard and staff were consistently incredible.

Well done hotel Doolan for wonderful wedding experience

Attended a family wedding in Hotel Doolin last weekend.

I’ve been to about 25 weddings and the set up at Doolin hotel was one of the best especially late at night when they open Fitzpatrick Bar.

We had a great time at a wedding in Hotel Doolin.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, super enjoyable wedding, super dinner, intimate atmosphere and staff lovely.

Paul and Niamh were a pleasure to deal with on the wedding planning side of things.

Shout out also to Yvonne Burke the wedding organiser for the hotel that took all of our needs into account.

If you are considering a wedding in the west of Ireland then book this venue, you will not regret it.

I attended a wedding at this hotel yesterday, to say that it was the best day would be an understatement!

We were at a great wedding here in hotel doolin.

Due to their amazing service I sought out their names so Aoibheann, Megan, Kim, Brian, and Katie working on 12/02/22 for the wedding should be hugely proud of their work.

Got married in The Barn in December and we could not have picked a better place to have our wedding.

We stayed in Doolin Hotel as part of a wedding group and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had our wedding here in June and it couldn't have gone better.

We had our wedding in hotel
Doolin in December 2021.

Thank you to Paul and Tadgh for answering all our questions and supporting us so well both in the run up to the wedding and on the day, ye are rockstars!

Other than opening the windows you have no way to cool the rooms off.

Our room was very noisy and view from our window (which was the same from a lot of rooms) was a tour bus filled car park!.

but it isn't sound proofed,  I understand doolin is busy but the sound of passing traffic woke us up, it sounded like the window was open it was that loud we didn't mind to much as we were having a great time.

however the leather was tatty and ripped on the chair, and there were a few spiders and cobwebs in the corners; also our room was on ground level and there was at one point a bus full of tourists parked directly outside our window, which was slightly disconcerting.

The room was basic enough , very dark en suite, and had a shower curtain in the bath, which was annoying as you had 2 choices, a bath or a shower whereby the curtain stuck to your skin which was annoying.

but the shower was so narrow you always had the shower curtain touching you - which is a little icky.

This establishment is not steeped in tradition, with dark, creaky stairs and single-pane windows painted shut.

There were also stains on the walls and drapes.

but were v stuffy so we had to leave the windows open, as these rooms look onto the car-park this made it very noisy, the bar really has been done to look old and it works, most of the food was fine though i did complain on check out that my husband's burger €14.95 was more like a meatball, he didn't complain until after dinner so the waiter couldn't do anything.

BUT :
- Very hot and not able to change the temperature - you can open a window a few inches

There were a few other negatives in the room; the light beige carpet was badly stained (and off-putting) in places, the extractor fan over the bath hissed constantly and when we had a shower, regardless of how we positioned the shower curtain, we soaked the bathroom floor!!

Only complaint, and it's only a small one, the shower curtain was on the cheap side and was difficult to use, as it did not run freely on the rail.

however, the shower curtain had a mind of it’s own and made it difficult to shower without getting attacked – glass doors or weighted down curtains are much better.

The shower was so narrow, I showered with the shower curtain sticking to me.

From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were so welcome and at home with our very friendly reception by Kate.

Susan offered a drink upon check-in, and again the second afternoon, both in the beautiful garden, with beautiful views.

When we arrived we were warmly greeted and enjoyed a drink on Susan's lovely patio.

When she offered us a beer upon our arrival we knew we were in the right place.

From her personal attention to our reservation, to keeping the light on for us for our late arrival, to our final good byes the next morning, she was wonderful.

Even before we arrived, Susan made booking a breeze, and gave us excellent recommendations for our stay.

Daly's House was unbelievably hospitable and accommodating from the minute we arrived to the minute we left.

From the moment we first spoke on the phone- a good 6 months before our arrival --to the moment we walked out the door waving goodbye our experience was exceptional.

Even before we arrived, Susan gave us lots of tips by email about activities in and around Doolin.

From the moment we connected via phone before our arrival to the minute we returned back to the States, she made us feel at home -- answering any questions, helping us set up our trip to the Aran Islands, giving us local tips & insights, and sharing her own wonderful stories.

The Daly's House is nestled in the
town of Doolin&
When my daughters and I  arrived Susan met us
with arms wide opened and
invited us into the garden to chat
while we were all sipping Baileys
Irish Cream that she so graciously
gave to us.

She met us when we arrived and served us a welcome cocktail while she talked to us about Doolin and her family's history there.

Susan knew our names within minutes of our arrival, greeted us with a champagne toast and made us feel like family.

She was able to help us arrange transportation, even giving us a quick lift in the charming town before her newest guests arrived.

My husband and I were renewing our vows in Ireland and Susan helped even before I ever arrived to make sure that we had everything we needed.

On my arrival I can count on a warm smile and a warm Bailey.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home.

Susan the owner made us feel right at home the second we arrived and up until we left.

On arrival, we were given a very warm welcome by Susan.

A warm welcome awaited us and on our arrival Susan, our host, greeted us with a warm friendly smile and offered us some real Irish hospitality.

Note that cash payment is required (but there's an ATM very near).

And I may have paid in cash anyway without indelicate prompting; I am not a prude about how the world really runs.

Great, friendly and knowledgeable host as should be the case with a proper Irish B&B.

Best of all, we had tons of fun with Susan's friendly dogs, Bob and Ted.

Top quality lodging, superb breakfasts, wonderful friendly staff.

but not least, we can not say enough about Susan… her friendly, personable disposition and great advice on attractions etc.

Everything was very cosy and she, Sean and the rest of the family were super friendly and made sure that we have everything we want.

Additionally they are completely environmentally friendly.

She is warm, friendly, funny, witty, and full of helpful suggestions.

Susan greeted us with a beautiful friendly smile, showed use to our spacious bedroom that was spotlessly clean, she gave us a welcome drink and some chocolate and a map of Doolin.

We were met with a warm and friendly welcome by our host and owner Susan Daly.

Susan is the most friendly and professional host you could hope to meet.

My  3 friends and i stayed at Dayls B&B in Doolin.. We were greeted by a very friendly Susan who made us at home immediately and treated us to a luvly drink in her amazing gardens.

The accommodation is faultless, made even better by our lovely host Susan who was so friendly and helpful.

Such a lovely bnb, Susan is so friendly and welcoming.

Really fresh, modern and comfortable building run by lovely friendly people.

Found her very helpful and friendly towards the children.

Susan is so welcoming , friendly and funny.

You couldn’t ask for a better view from the room with the beautiful garden surrounding the house and the castle/countryside in the distance.

Susan's home is beautiful, amazing views, incredible gardens, excellent service, hospitality and food.

The house is beautiful and surrounded by a lovely garden and amazing views.

The location is perfect and the setting is remarkable — a beautiful home surrounded by gorgeous gardens with fabulous views of the Cliffs of Moher.

Amazing hostess, excellent recommendations, comfortable beds, beautiful garden, centrally located, and a delicious breakfast.

Also enjoyed the beautiful backyard gardens and seating area.

Breakfast was lovely and our room looked out on a lovely garden.

There are lovely pieces of artwork around the place, the gardens are so pretty with great views of the surrounding countryside.

From the time Susan greeted us at the front door and brought us a drink in the garden until the end of our four night stay we were treated with amazing kindness!

Her B&B is beautiful, comfortable, and the gardens are breathtaking.

Why - the house is lovely,  bedrooms very comfortable, breakfast perfect, the garden beautiful and a five minute walk to the pubs and stores in Doolin.

The service was fantastic (offered a drink in the garden on arrival) and breakfast was top class.

From the room we had a lovely view of Susan’s garden which is stunning and you can also see the cliffs of moher from the window.

She has a beautiful garden with a wonderful view of the cliffs.

She offered us an afternoon drink if we were there and when the weather was nice it was great to sit out in her beautiful garden to enjoy it.

Room too small, no hot water, cold breakfast.

On the other side, a small room with two single beds for kids.

Our room had little room for more than small suitcases, which luckily was all we travel with.

Susan and staff at Daly's House welcomed us with open arms and hugs.

The staff which is largely family members is just as committed to the guests of Daly House as she is.

Thank you again, Susan, Kate, and Sean for welcoming us to your beautiful part of the world.

Susan is such a joyful and welcoming lady, she makes you feel instantly as if her home is your home.

Susan, the proprietor/owner, might very well have been an old friend – her warm greeting and great conversations were lots of fun.

We recently stayed for 5 nights at Daley's and found Susan Daley to be very welcoming as well as her daughter Katie.

Communication in advance with Susan was easy and she gave us ideas about things to do in the area.

Susan and her staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!

She is so knowledgable about the area and the Cliffs of Moher,  The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was grand.

We had a fabulous stay with Susan, starting with a welcoming drink.

Susan provides a delightful and hospitable B & B.

What was really remarkable was Susan’s hospitality - she welcomed us warmly, chatted with us in the sitting room over wine and Baileys, gave us fantastic recommendations on things to do/see in Doolin and provided a delicious breakfast served in a lovely room overlooking her gardens.

She was also so welcoming with my three sons who joined me and my husband on the trip.
