Maria United States of America

Great location in town yet quiet for sleeping in very comfy bed. Awesome staff - Irish hospitality at its finest! Delicious and varied breakfast. Soaking in the tub was much needed and appreciated after climbing Croagh Patrick. Looking forward to returning asap.

Mary Ireland

Very nice clean building, helpful , friendly staff and facilities. Great breakfast and everything very efficient. Will return again if in Westport

Christopher Ireland

Breakfast, Location and Room. Staff were excellent, given the covid restrictions. Good experience all round

Chris Ireland

Reception and restaurant staff were excellent, giving a very good service in a friendly manner. Location was very good, right in the centre of the town. Good parking facility right beside the hotel (€3 per day). Room was relatively small but had a nice ensuite bathroom with good shower and comfortable bed etc. We will come back to this hotel again as it has a nice homely "family style" atmosphere. We had stayed the previous 4 days in a large branded Group hotel in another area of the West and we couldn't help but notice the change in styles between this hotel in Westport and the large branded Group hotel. Would strongly recommend the Clew Bay Hotel.

Patrick Ireland

Location perfect and breakfast excellent both mornings very good welcoming staff. Very Covid compliant which was impressive.

Amelia Ireland

Gary Ireland

The Clew bay hotel is a fantastic little gem in the heart of Westport. We (4 Wexford ladies) stayed for 3 nights in early August 2020. The place was spotlessly clean and safely run during the covid The staff were outstanding, so friendly, helpful and nothing was a problem. The food was delicious and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back !
