The location was great - could walk to Clifden for shopping or pubs. Near the National Park and Kylemore Abbey.

The hotel is located near town and an easy walk to the bars and shops. The lounges with the fireplaces were great. The owner gave us a history talk over a glass of complimentary wine in the evening.

One of the best vacation stays of my life. It was my wife's birthday and we celebrated with champagne and cake - a delightful experience. We'll be re-visiting as a part of our usual Ireland vacation schedule from now on.

Wonderful time. The before dinner champagne talk about the area and the history of the hotel was one of the highlights of our trip. It was so informative and enjoyable, plus we met other guests staying at the hotel. Dinner was superb and included a free photo of us... What more could you ask for? Our room was perfect, with an amazing view of Clifdon and the hotel gardens.

Sandra

I took a break from my usual BnB bookings and splurged on a stay in a Castle. The setting and facilities are wonderful. However, the staff is very indifferent and unhelpful. I received a much warmer welcome at every BnB. Had to wait for check in and was told to wait for someone to show me to my room. Another couple and I waited for a while and then I asked if I could just find my own way. The other couple and I both left.

“Don't be fooled by the word "Castle"... very subpar!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
Abbeyglen Castle Hotel was the worst hotel we stayed in during our 9 day stay in Ireland. It is a 3-star hotel at best with a 4-star restaurant and other amenities (that we didn't use but looked subpar). The room had signs that said not to be disturbed by the dirty looking water and a caution to keep the windows closed and lights off in order to not attract insects (obviously a problem if they have signs about it). The bedding was worn and cheap. Unfilled holes in walls. Cobwebs on the interior lighting. Uneven floors throughout the building. The internet didn't work on the 2nd floor and after speaking with the office 3x over the course of an hour they finally admitted that it wasn't working and said that I needed to come down into the lobby if I wanted to use the internet. They also had a birdcage with bird food meshed into the floor right next to the reception desk. This property needs some serious investment to be considered a "nice" hotel. [Note: I contacted the hotel directly after our stay to explain some of the challenges and got an email back from them blaming the internet issues on their internet service provider. They made no apologies nor offered to refund any portion of the premium price we paid for our stay].
The breakfast was nice. And so was the dinner served in the restaurant (albeit for a hefty fee). The proprietor/owner was also a kind man who came around to greet everyone in the restaurant.

“Stay at the Muckross Hotel in Killarney... not too far away and is fabulous compared to Abbyglen.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
The hotel reception staff were disengaged and not very welcoming. Some of the restaurant servers were excellent, others not so much. The windows in our room faced out with a great view, but you had to look through cobwebs and dirty windows. The bathroom is dated could have been much cleaner.
Other than the good location and breakfast, the hotel is old and disappointing. I have no doubt it previously earned it’s 5 star rating, but it’s now really just a fancy old 3 star. I found the older manager (owner?) mingling with the guests in the dining room distracting with his repetitive comments table to table. The champagne in the pub was a lovely gesture and served by Paul, but please serve decent bubbly to your guests. A long stay researcher guest, who flies his helicopter in and out daily and lands/takeoff on the grounds, was about the most interesting aspect of this hotel.
