Do yourself a favor...spend a few days here. This is our second trip to Clifden in three years. Both times we've stayed here. To be sure, there are other more modern places in the beautiful little city, but if you don't stay there at least once, in my humble opinion, you are missing out on spending the night in a... More

Loved Clifden - very cute. One downside of the town itself is that all dinner places close very early. We ate at the Indian place for lack of better options. The hotel staff were very friendly. Our room was street facing but noise wasn't an issue. We stayed one night and spent very little time there ... the one thing... More

It is nice to stay in an hotel which is both friendly and comfortable. It was a bit of a hike up the stairs to our room on the second floor but the room was large and clean. The whole place is a bit saggy but that adds to its char. The staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is... More

Foyle's is a really nice family hotel right in the centre of Clifden town. The first thing we noticed on coming in was a huge roaring fire in the fireplace and a sleeping labrador (who was gentle and happy to be petted by adults and children alike). This really is a family run hotel, its properly old fachioned with vintage... More

The personal nature of the greeting, the smell of delicious food that greets you in reception...I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were lovely. The food...I CANNOT RATE IT BETTER!! Great value for money & lovely & clean. As a commercial traveller, I stay in a lot of small hotels & this one did not disappoint!

Have stayed a few times now and have always found it to be a good friendly old style hotel. Rooms are not modern but have always been clean. Breakfast is always excellent, an experience like having it at home only to a standard that you could never meet

My Partner and I spent two nights here in Feb 2013. On arrival I was greeted with a bizarre smell in the reception area. I had anticapted that it would be nicer. I was disappointed that this Hotel has no parking facilities available. On the street parking cost a euro an hour which is quite steep. The place may state... More

What brings us back to Foyles year after year is undoubtedly the friendly and homely atmosphere, coupled with the quaint charm of a well run family hotel,in a great central location. The staff could not be more helpful and the food is always top class. Rooms are not your 'modern',standard (boring),,hotel room but each one(that we have stayed in), is... More

Stayed there for one night last weekend - turned up at the door and we got one of the last rooms. Great service from everyone including the receptionist, the barman and the breakfast staff. Rate very reasonable too and the place is clean and well run and has loads of character. Add to that its location in downtown Clifden and... More
