Beautiful old world hotel in a great location in Clifden. The lobby, restaurant and bar are nice and comfortable. Great breakfast in the morning. Everyone that works here was so nice.

Bob United States of America

It was in the center of town close to everything. Food sized room and very comfortable. Restaurant on site.

Bridget United States of America

The breakfasts were very good. The atmosphere and service were lovely. The location is great and surprisingly quiet.

Jerilynn United States of America

Lovely property and the breakfast was very good. The bar was good with live music but the hotel was probably decorated in 1970 with nothing done since. Some may think it charming we found is outdated which is a shame because to add new carpet to the bedrooms update fixtures and tiling and some fresh paint would turn it around and it would work with all the old furniture. Staff were very friendly and bought up our luggage as there’s no lift. Great location

Jacqueline United States of America

The location, the ambience within the hotel, the staff and the food. Both our breakfasts and evening meals were excellent and all the waiting staff were both pleasant and efficient.

Roisin United Kingdom

Great location. Parking worked out but is limited. Good breakfast included. A bit of street noise at night but not too bad. Needed a fan at night but they didn’t have one. Friendly staff.

Terry United States of America

Nice rooms, good food, nice residents bar, great breakfast menu, good staff, good location.

Finbarr Ireland

Staff are outstanding!! Very accommodating when we decided to stay another night at the last minute. Rooms spotless, comfortable, bright and airy. Bed very cosy and breakfast was amazing. Super location too!

Aisling Ireland

The location is the best. The hotel facility is historic but has all the modern amenities. Free parking was available in a very small, 12 car lot, at the rear of the hotel.

Stephen United States of America

Loved our breakfast we had grilled kippers! Our room was beautiful with tall ceilings and a beautiful bed. The location is excellent, we got to see the sunset at Skyroad just before we checked in. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My girlfriend and I both loved the old style interior! Will definitely recommend.

Situated in the picturesque town of Clifden, the hotel is fast becoming the premier location for active vacations with its unique and diverse landscape, ideal for walking, biking, and hiking.

Connemara's longest established hotel, Foyles has been owned and managed by the Foyle family for nearly a century. The impressive building, which has played host to many famous personalities over the years, has recently been redesigned to the highest modern standards, yet retains much of its old charm and atmosphere.

After a long day of exploring Clifden you can relax in the comfort of the hotel; rest in the patio garden or enjoy a drink and some live music in the hotel bar, Mullarkeys.

This is our guests' favorite part of Clifden, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

Foyles Hotel has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Jan 25, 2010
