We had a very pleasant stay in the hotel. It is ideally situated in the town of Ennis. It's in a quiet location but only a few steps from the town. The room was very comfortable. It does not have air conditioning, but that is rarely necessary in Ireland, and the windows open. The bar and the restaurant offer plenty... More

On a recent trip to visit family in Co. Clare Ireland I stayed a couple of nights in The Templegate Hotel. After having been impressed on previous visits to both the restaurant and the Hotel Pub I decided a stay for a couple of nights was in order. I was not disappointed; managed by owner John Madden and his son... More

Many modern hotels lack character, and are placed far from the historic center of town. This is an unusual exception. Although there is a new modern shopping mall next to the hotel, just on the other side of the hotel is the courtyard leading to the historic center. The location was perfect, as there are restaurants, shops, and sites just... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with the Trip Advisor community. The hotel has a fascinating and eventful history and the gothic style has been preserved throughout the premises. Temple Gate is a family owned and managed hotel which sadly is becoming a rarity within the hotel industry and we believe this adds character and warmth... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with the Trip Advisor community. The hotel is an ideal base when visiting Ennis town and touring County Clare. The car park although located just outside the hotel front door may sometimes be difficult to find. Regretfully we are limited by the town council on the number of directional signs... More

We were very pleased with our stay at Temple Gate Hotel. The staff was great, with the exception of some of the bartenders..... The hotel is centrally located and one of the very few places we stayed in Ireland where you did not have to pay for parking! The hotel itself is lovely and very comfortable and clean. We were...

Stayed here following a transfer from another hotel. The difference was magical. the Temple Gate hotel provides everything you would expect from a superior hotel run by a managment with one eye on standards and the other eye on their customers. From the friendly and helpful staff when you first arrive, to the impeccable decor, to the beautiful food and... More

This was our second stay at the Temple Gate during the Ennis Trad Festival. It's literally in the center of all of the city activities during the festival. Park the car and walk during the festival! The hotel is clean, comfortable and welcoming. For day trips, such as Kilkee or Doolin, Ennis is a good location to launch from. The... More

We recently did 3 rooms for 3 nights at the Temple Gate and loved it. Great reservations service (Thanks Kate), wonderful rooms, centrally located and Preacher's Pub was a the perfect way to end the day. I've stayed at the Old Ground before, and liked it okay, but Temple Gate is my choice going forward. More
