Because the premises are sited so centrally in Clifden sited as it is back from the main street the accommodation was both very convenient for all types of shopping and dining yet also very quiet at night.

Rm1 above smoking area

The checkin was quick and easy as was check out. Our rm no1 was above a smoking area so this was unpleasant. Our coffee machine didnt work for coffee but was ok for tea. The bed waa comfortable and the shower was powerful.

10/10 super central and cosy guesthouse in Clifden. Super location, clean rooms, fast wifi and the Nespresso machines in the room were a welcome surprise. The kitchen and entrance are getting a refurb but its a minor quibble, it looks exciting . The wine bar will open in July but the space is free to use for guests and is a really cool, chill space. Really friendly local owner who gave us some local tips on the hidden gems of Connemara . 10/10

This property is not well represented online. The rooms are sparse, the Beds are worn and the carpet is old and Stained. The entry through an unlit passage is sketchy. All in all my advice is run!

We had a very difficult time finding the Arch. There was a doorway onto a long dark littered hallway to a very dark staircase. All painted black & very dreary. The room itself was clean. No staff on site-more like a boarding house. We were told there would be breakfast but on arrival that changed. We were told it was over a wine bar & restaurant but it was not open for business. I would not recommend

I was really disappointed in this property. The place was difficult to find, the building in ill repair (I tripped twice trying to get up the alley), carpets dirty and staff only available for new minutes. The walls were paper thin and we could hear our neighbour's toilets flushing. The shower door in our room was broken. There was no breakfast or at least we weren't told of any. Perhaps it is under new management? Skip this place.

Entrance took a minute to find as no clear sign outside... Place obviously being renovated, which is fine as it didn't affect my stay in any way.. I checked in and because I was getting back late, they said I could sleep in longer than usual check out time, which I appreciated a lot.. Room looks like it had been renovated too, so that was good.. Read some older reviews that were not favorable but they seem to have addressed those issues... Room was clean, cozy and comfortable.. Shower was great.. Very powerful, which is always good.. Location was great and plenty of street parking.. My room did not include breakfast but good place across street... All over a good experience..

This property is in the main street, Market Street, and so close to everything. Parking is on the main street in a Pay and Display park. The rooms are at the back so relatively quiet. Our beds were comfortable and our bathroom was clean and roomy. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment. Ivan was friendly and helpful with information and recommendations for dinner.
