I would not classify this hotel as a four star hotel, but overall, we enjoyed our stay. The bad first-- When we first arrived, we asked the lady at the reception desk for a suggestion for a good seafood restaurant. She couldn't think of one (which was a little surprising), but told us that she would do some research and... More

I was attending a wedding here recently and stayed the night in the hotel. The bedroom was a bit on the small side, but it contained all we needed. For it's location near the elevator, it was a quiet room which was pleasantly surprising. The breakfast the following morning was decent although I would have said the offering was more... More

Stayed overnight as a solo business traveller. Had stayed here previously on holiday break but this time round different experience. Hotel is well located with beautifully landscaped gardens. Hotel decor and fit out are dated and faded without the charm of a country house hotel. My room was stuffy and musty smelling. There were cobwebs on the ceiling which suggested... More

While on tour we stopped here for one night. The hotel was busy as there was a large wedding party there, but the staff was great, took care of everything in a friendly manner. As a bonus we were able to eavesdrop at the party where "the singing waiters" group was performing beautifully. Our dinner that night was excellent, as... More

Dear 'Cands2', Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us while in Ireland. The 'singing waiters' certainly were a big hit ... they were organised as a surprise at that wedding so none of the guests knew that some of their servers were actually singers and not... More

Just back from a lovely stay at the Ardilaun Hotel. We stayed for two nights and had our labradoodle dog Daisy with us. The hotel has pet friendly rooms. These rooms are very spacious, on the ground floor, with direct access to the gardens. Our dog was allowed to stay in the room with us which was brilliant (no kennels!!)... More

We are just back from the Ardilaun after a short break on the May bank holiday weekend. When we arrived the friendly receptionist advised us we had a deluxe room which I'm not sure is standard but anyway when we got to the room it was unreal.
