A friendly hotel that's the biggest name in this little town of Doolin. Very nice people run stylish and well-kept facilities, including two restaurants, a bar and other amenities. They are tricked out for weddings, but our small family gathering felt welcomed and cared for. Try the Doolin red ale.

Great place
Our stay was lovely. I had forgotten my toiletry bag and reception immediately supplied me with tooth paste and two new tooth brushed. The breakfast was lovely I had the mini Irish OMG it was enough. I did see a full Irish. Ridiculously large. The white pudding was fantastic. The bar was lovely but the beer was ok not amazing. Guinness in all other bars was better snd the lager my wife had was lifeless. Can’t remember what she had. (I find this to be a problem in many hotels) The singer was an older gent with a guitar and an amazing voice. He was excellent and really friendly. Thanks for a lovely two nights in Doolin. BTW bedroom fantastic really clean comfy beds

A Doolin gem
A very warm welcome greeted me. Room was a great size, very clean and comfy bed. Live music every night is a big attraction. Dinner and breakfast was so good along with the service. Staff very friendly. A cosy spot. Make sure to have a glass of Dooliner! A lovely gesture at checkout was some brown bread to take home. I will definitely book here again.

We went for our anniversary trip. We enjoyed the hotel because it had a great bar and breakfast but there was really loud music until 2am. :/

Hi Jacob, Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the bar and the breakfast but I am disappointed to see the remark about the music, due to the wedding. I had advised you about the wedding here in the hotel in writing, when you had requested the double room and not a twin with a single and double, to which you replied to say it was fine with you. Thank you again for your feedback and if you are in Doolin again, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will certainly do my best to look after you. Warm Regards, Leanne Reservations Manager

Being able to walk through to the bar was fantastic. Being able to walk through to the bar AND see The Fiddle Case play, absolutely phenomenal. Doolin isn't a large city, but it's worth the stop simply for the music. The Western cities are sooooo much better to visit.
