My wife & I were in Ireland a few weeks ago & unfortunately my wife's father died. We had very short notice for the funeral & were not able to get back to the US in time. However, the funeral home was doing a webcast. But we were were in Ireland and needed a place with high speed internet access.... More

This is simply very good at what it sets out to do and it is done very well by competent and friendly, well-trained and courteous staff. For me personally it represents extraordinary value for money. On my first visit a few years ago, I was having stomach problems and was having difficulty eating. The chef heard about this and came... More

We recently stayed on our way through Ireland. Good points were it's location to the castle (I highly recommend the medieval banquet), the breakfast was nice too. The big downside for us was the plumbing. The water took forever to get hot and was luk warm at best. Also the toilet took 4 or 5 flushes to work properly. More

We stayed at the Buntratty Castle Hotel after landing at Shannon from NYC. It is a short drive from the airport. The area is safe, close to the Castle, and other attractions. The staff try their best, but the facilities need some updating with leaky facets, A/C (and heat) controls that do not work, and no wireless in the rooms.... More

We stayed at this hotel as part of a tour, for one day on a Friday night. The hotel was located near Bunratty castle, a popular tourist destination in Ireland. I would particularly recommend booking a night at the medieval feast at Bunratty Castle. The food was unexpectedly good and the entertainment a delight. I would only caution to be... More

Our family of four stayed in a room for one night. The originally assigned room smelled distinctly of smoke and the hotel staff quickly reassigned us to another room of the same type, albeit a bit smaller. The staff was also very responsive when the Internet stopped working (needed it for just a bit of work while on vacation). Breakfast... More

This was a decent hotel. Staff were helpful and the Italian resturant in the hotel had amazing food. Good sized rooms and bathrooms. Getting up in the morning and taking a 50 foot walk to the river Shannon was amazing. More

My spouse remembered visiting the castle and folk park from his childhood. This in part, was how we chose this hotel. This hotel is very similar to a large American style chain establishment. This is a large hotel with very common room amenities you would find at a Hilton or Marriott. I was very disappointed with the staff. There are... More
