Clarion Hotel Sligo  

very poor layout of rooms access to rooms difficult over price for location against other local hotels

Relaxed atmosphere Helpful staff Easy to find and access

The family suite was very spacious and ideal for young children. The small kitchen area was a great benefit for 'snacking' in the room.

As a famy hotel I found the pool changing facities a little inconvenient - separate male & female rooms which made it difficult with 2 young children. In addition the staff were not very friendly and overall could have been more welcoming on arrival.

1. Swimming pool. 2. Location - close to Rosses Point, Sligo town. 3. The building - great converted castle/convent 4. Large room size.

1. Restaurant - cheap but mediocre

The rooms ,staff and general atmosphere.

Family Room with kitchenette was exceptional, considering going back again this year

Room was fabulous, think I might have booked a suite by accident, but how bad!

The bar only serves soup & sandwiches. In saying that though, the barman did offer to see what he could do for us if we didn't want to go sit in the restaurant.

Excellent staff Playroom to entertain kids good pool/spa suite which was excellent for a family stay restaurant food was great Lovely breakfast

didn't like the 4pm check in but we arrived early and they made sure our room was cleaned next so that we were able to check in before 4, very helpful.

The recpetion staff was the only thing welcoming in the hotel.

The bathroom mirror wasn't cleaned (only half way) There was a small of stale smoke in the bedroom. There was a big hole(burn mark) on the large pillow on the bed.

Kids meals excellent value.

childrens changing unit location.

My wife and I were there with two small children and found the facilities ideal and keenly priced. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Food very nice as well

Leisure facilities, steam room cold and Jacuzzi always full.

Good service for reasonable price.

Room size, comfortable bed, late check-out.

Breakfast. V bland testing food and limited "non-fry" options. Bread wasn't very nice.

Friendliness of staff

poor fruit selection for breakfast

Free upgrade to a suite when checking in

Halls & public areas dirty. Dirty side plates in restaurant.

the dark institutional appearance of the outside

Location Beautiful building

Not enough staff - had to beg for a menu at lunchtime; waited ages for someone to take our order then had to ask three times for the bill - very poor service. Also on check out I wasn't asked how I enjoyed my stay or if everything had been satisfactory. The lady at the check-out desk just wanted to take my payment. Customer service was non existent. Three empty food trays were sitting in the corridor for well over 12 hours - this doesn't make a good impression nor was it particularly hygienic. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Everything was just standard.

Heater was constantly on in the room and very hard to sleep with it on

Very large rooms, excellent facilities.

Arrived late - dinner finished, but would like to have the option of availing of light snacks.

The staff

My room was not cleaned the first day, so I had to wait until they freshen up. This was at 8 pm. Later I found out my fellow colleague who paid the same amount as me had the first floor rooms with kitchen and living room. I was extremely dissapointed considering we all paid the same. Plus there was one waitress in the restaurant who was not to pleasant to the gentleman who commented that his seafood chowder only had one salmon/fish in the entire dish.

Service was great Staff excellent The room was lovely and clean Facilities great

Internet was not working during our stay

Lovely location, quiet comfortable rooms. Very nice choice of dishes in restaurante, good portions.

The main door is tiny and will take the hand off someone, probably a child some windy day. I arrived on a very windy night and had to be extra careful as I was entering with my bags as the door kept slamming. There needs to be a longer handle on the door as the one that's there is too small and too near the edge of the door making the probability of someone catching their fingers while the door slams in the wind fairly high. It's a major health and safety issue for your hotel at the moment.

Our room was a bit noisey, because we were at the back and the air conditioning system was always on.

Loved the building

History of the building and Sligo town, as described in Sebastian Barry's novel "the Secret Scriptures". Pool and Jacuzzi excellent. Room excellent.

Some evening entertainment in the hotel would have been nice since it was a bit of a walk into town for us and nothing started before 10 pm.
