Because the premises are sited so centrally in Clifden sited as it is back from the main street the accommodation was both very convenient for all types of shopping and dining yet also very quiet at night.

Rm1 above smoking area

The checkin was quick and easy as was check out. Our rm no1 was above a smoking area so this was unpleasant. Our coffee machine didnt work for coffee but was ok for tea. The bed waa comfortable and the shower was powerful.

This property is in the main street, Market Street, and so close to everything. Parking is on the main street in a Pay and Display park. The rooms are at the back so relatively quiet. Our beds were comfortable and our bathroom was clean and roomy. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment. Ivan was friendly and helpful with information and recommendations for dinner.
