The staff were great; very helpful and prompt with service wether it was at the restaurant or in the morning for breakfast. They are working on rejuvenating the hotel but keep to the heritage of the site. Rooms were spacious, clean. The renovations thus far completed looked great when walking through the reception area, check in was very easy, overall a great experience! Would highly recommend and would love to come back in the future! Thanks Hydro hotel!

The Hydro Hotel is a beautiful hotel, currently undergoing a complete refurb and modernisation. The areas that are refurbed are beautiful and really nice. The bedrooms are a little dated but are spacious, clean and more than fit for purpose. The breakfast and dinner was of a high standard. The hotel is really well located for Lisdoonvarna, being just ion the outskirts of town. It has a beautiful garden and tennis court. In all a great hotel and will be very nice once completely refurbished. We will most certainly stay again, if we are in the area.

Room was spacious and the kids enjoyed the tennis court! We also found a playground a short walk away. The lower rating was due to the washroom. The toilet was wobbly and did not flush well. The shower had great pressure but there was only a half partition to contain the water and water ended up getting on the floor.

Siamo stati una sola notte ma abbiamo trovato l’hotel molto confortevole ed il personale molto cordiale. Abbiamo anche cenato al ristorante dell’hotel, il cibo era davvero molto buono. Porteremo nel cuore un bellissimo ricordo di questo posto e della meravigliosa Irlanda in generale
