Eveyrthing in this hotel gave the impression that it was lovely when new. Unfortunately that seems to be quite a while ago! Peeling paint & worn carpets gave the feeling that the hotel has been let go in a way that no amount of cleaning will cover up. The restaurant was closed when we were there, but apparently this is...

First of all, we noticed that Shannon Shamrock Hotel was closed completely. I'm not sure what relation, if any, that hotel has to the Bunratty Castle Garden Townhouses, but we were very pleased with the overall accommodations. We booked through Travelzoo and got an amazing deal (less than $1000 US per person) and staying in a 4 BR/3Bath townhouse. It... More

The hotel obviously has no heating - the rooms are freezing. I was in bed with a hat and scarf. The shower was broken in the room. And there was no hot water. Although the price appears good - don't be fooled this is too good to be true. The staff may have been friendly but the basics aren't there.... More

The hotel is obviously suffering from the competition across the way but we chose it over the Bunratty Castle Hotel simply because of the price. It was €69 for b&b compared with €99 in the other. The hotel is basic but has all the essentials - tea, coffee, toiletries, tv, double bed (which is refreshing when so many these days... More

Unfortunately we were stuck for somewhere to stay near Shannon for an early morning flight, and my memories of the Shannon Shamrock as a kid in the 70s said "ok, this should be good". Unfortunately didn't have an internet connxn to check tripadvisor before booking. Overall impression - sleazy and depressing. Have just looked over the other reviews and more... More

Foolishly booked the Bunratty Shannon Shamrock as it was near Airport and Folk Park The hotel was once a Fitzpatricks Hotel and hence had some nice whilst outdated decor. We checked in quite late in the evening with the kids. I asked to see the room first and it was a nice size room with some nice features but boy... More

Booked the hotel via DID breaks. It was posted as four star and the price was good. €98.00 for two nights B&B and I dinner. It was clearly not four star but considering what we paid we had no real complaints. I had not checked out reviews and if I had I would have cancelled! It was quite a good... More

I booked 3 nights plus one evening meal as a surprise for my partners birthday and when we pulled up into the carpark I was thinking to myself "Oh my God, this doesnt look too nice". We actually joked that we were in one of those pretend towns the US used to build for nuclear testing, you know like in... More
