We stumbled across Foyles when we arrived in Clifden. The staff were fantastic, the food, wine and service were all excellent. We had a great time and highly recommend it. We would have loved a few days to explore the surrounding area, as so much to see!

From the moment we walked in to be greeted by Jason, we fell in love with the place. You can't fault any member of staff from the reception to the dining room and the cleaners. They are all so friendly. Breakfast exceeded my expectations and there was even a little inner courtyard to wander out in to for a cigarette... More

We happened upon Foyle's Hotel when we arrived in Clifden without reservations for the night. We got the best price of any place we stayed during our 8 nights in Ireland (all B&Bs). The hotel was built in the 1840s and we loved the character of the place. It was clean and comfortable, and while it may have been a... More

There's not a lot of choice when it comes to hotels in Clifden and the lack of competition shows. Foyles has an excellent location right in the centre of this small town. It's got a nice cosy bar with live music on a few nights each week. Although the public rooms have a certain charm the bedrooms and bathrooms are... More

An old period hotel with a quirky charm. The lobby is comfortable and welcoming and is an easy place to feel relaxed in surroundings from a long time ago. The staff are friendly and the service was generally good. The breakfast was excellent and overall it was good value. Off season you can bargain a little if you walk in... More

Stayed at Foyles Hotel as part of a large group. From the minute we arrived up until checkout the staff could not have been any friendlier. From the bar staff, to the restaurant staff, you got that rare feeling that the everyone was genuinely happy to help you (even managed to pester the night porter for a chicken curry at... More

Do yourself a favor...spend a few days here. This is our second trip to Clifden in three years. Both times we've stayed here. To be sure, there are other more modern places in the beautiful little city, but if you don't stay there at least once, in my humble opinion, you are missing out on spending the night in a... More

Loved Clifden - very cute. One downside of the town itself is that all dinner places close very early. We ate at the Indian place for lack of better options. The hotel staff were very friendly. Our room was street facing but noise wasn't an issue. We stayed one night and spent very little time there ... the one thing... More

It is nice to stay in an hotel which is both friendly and comfortable. It was a bit of a hike up the stairs to our room on the second floor but the room was large and clean. The whole place is a bit saggy but that adds to its char. The staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is... More

Foyle's is a really nice family hotel right in the centre of Clifden town. The first thing we noticed on coming in was a huge roaring fire in the fireplace and a sleeping labrador (who was gentle and happy to be petted by adults and children alike). This really is a family run hotel, its properly old fachioned with vintage... More
