The first time was six years ago, the service quality was very good, so it was my first choice when I came to Ireland after the new crown. Unfortunately, the whole feeling this time was far from the first time, and I was quite disappointed☹️…
First of all, the wireless network in the room was often interrupted or there was no signal. I called the front desk and the reply we got was that the signal was not good in the countryside. Now that technology is so advanced, such a reason is really far-fetched.
Secondly, there was no drinking water in the room. I asked the waiter to bring water, but the waiter asked us to get it ourselves. Is this the service that a star-rated hotel should have? 
I understand that the store uses handwritten menus to show their high-end, but the font of the entire menu is very difficult to read. It is so dense that people feel dizzy. It is not the kind of comfortable and clear font and layout.
Since it is a castle hotel, people should be able to walk around. It was possible six years ago, but now many places are surrounded by gates. It is impossible to walk around.

What a great unexpected experience. Booked 2 suites. Oldie worldie charm. Huge. Owner has just a great personality and gave a thorough and very interesting information meeting regarding hotel, town and surrounding area. Really added to the experience. Dinner was excellent with great service. All the staff very helpful and friendly. We had found ourselves with a night of no accommodations and directed here. We were so fortunate. Highly recommend and would go back again. Highlight of our stay in Ireland

From the moment I stepped out of my car I was greeted for assistance with my bags and smoothly checked in, got my keys and was shown to my room. Abbeyglen is really unique in the fact that it almost feels like a community when 6:30pm comes around. All the guests are invited down to the bar for a glass of champagne as Brian, one of the owners talks about the history of the hotel. He’s a real performer and mentioned that if he didn’t get into hospitality, he might have become an actor. He took our photo and by the time we went up for dinner, the photo was printed out and he personally handed it to us before showing us to our table. The food was amazing, really accommodating to my gluten and dairy intolerance which can be tricky to navigate sometimes. Overall had a really good experience here and would recommend anyone looking for a trip to Connemara visit the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel.

A superb place to stay. The welcome offered by Julia, Paddy & Toby is genuinely nice and warm. They care about your wellbeing and will go out of their way to assist in any way they can. The location and view is splendid. Being able to walk into town (with many good pubs and restaurants) is a major plus. Breakfast is excellent. We stayed 4 nights (Napoleon room - spacious, very pleasant, a very good bed) and had a hard time leaving. We hope to be back as we trust that the new generation will continue the tradition of outstanding hospitality.

Old does not equate to four-star quality. There are none of the amenities that one expects in a four-star. We have broken pieces on the furniture, no temperature control, and a shower that doesn’t drain. The TV is small. No coffee pot in the room. Bathroom fixtures are old. In all honesty, this place is more like a large B&B than a four-star luxury hotel.

Firstly the photos are out of date and don”t do it any justice! The hotel has had money and TCL spent on it. Having visited before the welcome as we expected, very warm. Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff, who clearly enjoy working there. The service was impeccable and the food was simply stunning. The champagne reception before dinner is a lovely touch and so are the photos! I cannot find enough superlatives to describe how much we enjoyed our time here. It’s been three weeks since we stayed and we have already booked to return for Christmas. 💚🤍🧡

Lovely stay at Abbeyglen. The castle grounds and common spaces are beautiful. We very much enjoyed reading in the bar area with a local whiskey, and Brian’s champagne reception talk about the history of Abbeyglen and Clifden was a real treat. Breakfast was included and was delicious. We also ate dinner in the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. Abbeyglen is walkable to Clifden. We would absolutely stay here again and regret that we could not stay longer this time.

The place is just outstanding! Real open fires, a great piano player while you're having dinner, tennis courts, great grounds to walk around, friendly staff and a wonderful room. Couldn't have been a better stay! From the gentleman who came to collect the bag right through reception to the bar staff, just a warm welcome from all
