8.2/10 Very Good! (602 reviews)
Some areas of this property need to be updated. The carpets look dirty in the hallways and in our room. They need a good steam clean or to be replaced. Overall, the hotel was good for our two nights. The breakfast was nice. The hotel was next to the Dromoland Castle and golf course. It is a beautiful area to walk around! The walled garden is incredible! The in house bar and restaurant seemed lively and had local, live music several days a week. The property’s amenities were nice, but again they seem to be a bit in need of some updating and repair. The Expedia property details should include the fact that swim caps are required for the pool, which they charge you three euros each for unless you bring your own.The design of the shower stall in the rooms was terrible and we could not figure out how to keep water from getting all over the floor, which made it very slippery. Beds were quite hard, which some may like. Parking was awesome! Nice place for people with young children to stay since they have family rooms and outside games in addition to indoor pool.
