The Hydro is an excellent 3 star hotel near the centreof the village and its amenities. It is based on a 19C building with subsequent additions. The hotel has a slightly old fashioned look , The public rooms have lots of lovely wooden features, with many pictures decorating the walls . The building is nicely decorated to a high standard....

We stayed for two nights, using as a base to sight see the local area. The Burren is an amazing place and well worth a visit. Our room was extremely spacious and clean with a view over the Burren. The TV was small but only used it as background noise. The food was of a good standard as was the... More

Has to be seen to be believed. We went off peak, so didn't get to experience many trad sessions that lisdoonvarna is famous for... More

The Hydro Hotel was a beautiful historic hotel within walking distance of the local pub! The wait staff during meals were terrific! Friendly and attentive. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The hotel itself was clean and in great shape especially for its age! Would love to go back again!

I have been staying in this hotel for the last 7 years ( & hopefully for many more years to come) & have always found it very friendly & well run. In fact, considering it is quite a large hotel, the ambiance is more like a bed & breakfast in that the staff, from the owner downwards treat you as... More

Great food and ambiance, nice friendly staff, quiet rooms. Shower had a malfunction but I am very happy to recommend this hotel. Reasonable price for such high quality. Excellent location for Kilfenora, Clare and the Lisdoonvara festival.

We needed a place to stay in between Father Ted's parochial house and the cliffs of Moher. As the Hydro was in the right spot, we decided to accept being wedged in among several busloads of tourists. What a pity the rest hotel doesn't live up to the promising atmosphere of its nice reception area. The room on the second... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night recently, we had intended to stay for a few nights if we liked the place,however it did not take long for us to realise it would be for one night only.
