Merriman Hotel  

Location. Kinvara is easy access to many ROI-west locations. Merriman has convenient parking and staff was friendly. We had to leave early on the second morning and they accommodated us for breakfast before the "official" oping time of the dining room.

We froze! We complained at least twice per day about cold rooms and were told varying "stories". "Problem w/ furnace", "Should be warmer, soon", "Forgot to turn heat on in your rooms". Frankly, we had the distinct feeling that they were saving energy - not for environmental reasons, but to save expense. The only way to stay comfortable in these rooms is to stay in bed under the comforter.

I liked the village and the staff were very freindly.

Breakfast wasn't great - limited choice apart from fried breakfast and coffee in dining room was undrinkable as proper machine is not turned on until 12 in the bar.

A lovely place to stay, we will be back.

It was in the center of the village. Very clean rooms and nice staff. Great beds and well equipped bathrooms.

If you don't like the smell of fish avoid the dinning room from midday! The keys for the room have a massive key ring which is very inconvenient to carry around.

The facilities and staff were outstanding. Will definitely stay here again.

1. A small washcloth in addition to towels would be welcome. 2. Only 3 channels were available on the room TV. A news cable station would be welcome. It was difficult getting a weather forecast while a hurricane was enroute.

Ideally situated - beautiful scenic enviornment. Staff excellent

Warmth feeling in the hotel - staff also seem happy. Good value considering location to galway

Tv in the room could have more than three channels and be bigger

Good atmosphere, plenty of attentive staff in attendance. Large portions of food in the bar - too much for us. But great if you're really hungry. Pleasantly situated for evening strolls by the harbour.

Su servicio

El desayuno escaso

Great location but very basic.

Comfortable and clean is best we could say about it, although the bathroom was devoid of even hand soap never mind any other complimentary treats. Friends ate in the restaurant and were unimpressed with the variety and pricing. Staff were very friendly though.

The hotel was clean and comfortable and staff were helpful and pleasant. We ate in the hotel bar and the portions were generous and prices reasonable for the area.

The first room we were given was directly above the bar and having been told that there would be live music starting at 10.30pm that evening, we asked for a more quiet room having planned an early start the following morning, we were changed without fuss. I thought that the hotel rate was expensive compared to rates we saw advertised in the area for b&B. Breakfast itself was warm and freshly cooked though salty for my taste.

The food, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, relaxed atmosphere,

Same liquid used as soap and shampoo - seems to be the same liquid used throughout the hotel. No soap in handbasin container during our stay.
