The Clarion Hotel, Sligo. Talk about impressive! As you drive up, it feels like you are driving into a Castle Grounds with the sweeping drive to the most beautiful, massive & imposing granite-stone building. In the grounds is the most beautiful little chapel which is used for wedding receptions and the hotel can hold conferences for tiny groups and up to 400 people!!! Inside, unexpectedly, it's really modern with clean lines, comfy couches and wide open spaces! There is wi-fi available in the foyer and internet also in the rooms! The restaurants provide a wide range of delicious food and the staff are ultra-helpful and friendly. The Kudos bar is full of little nooks for a private drink but there is plenty space for groups also! The rooms themselves are spacious, nicely decorated and virtually sound-proof! There are tv and coffee making facilities in each room and the bathrooms are supplied with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, handcream and other necessities! The breakfast was self-service but there was a good and tasty supply of bacon, eggs, sausage, pudding, yoghurts, cereal and juices! Something for everyone! For families who bring children of any age with them, there is an excellent childrens club (full details on their website - worth checking out) and my son was delighted with all facilities - including the pool (and spa for me!). All in all, our stay was so comfortable - I can't wait to go back! The only downside was that I would've loved to find out more about the hotel building itself. My own research found that it was used as a Lunatic Asylum until 1992 and then was restored lovingly by the Clarion. I'd still like to know more and will do some digging for my next trip!

room was below average could have being cleaner.strong smell of smoke ,even though we requested non smooking .disappointed as we have stayed in other clarion hotels which were of averry high standard

Very good. Breakfast not great, room really nice beds really clean and fresh and comfortable

We have just returned from the Clarion Hotel in Sligo after a weekend break and I can highly recommend it. This is our third visit to the Clarion and I have previously recommended it to family and friends,it is a great hotel to visit. The staff are friendly, and helpful, it was extremely busy when we were there but they still could not do enough for us. the food is excellent, The Spa treatments a delight ( book before you go as it can get booked up very quickly) and it is not too expensive i was in the spa for 3 hours getting treatments and total cost was €150. Sligo is a great place to visit, plenty of taxi's so getting about is not a problem great places to eat..... Coach lane, The lemon grass The waterfront to name but a few. My only disapointment was having to go home........ I'll be back!

We stayed for a night on way up north. Had never been to this hotel before. Our initial impression was that it was a beautiful building. All staff we met were very professional and lovely - from reception to the restaurant staff. Our room was quite far away but was really quiet which was great and had its own kitchen. The bar was lively but suitable for all ages and music was great. Would definitly come back to stay again and recommend it to friends.

I have recently stayed in Clarion Hotel Sligo. It was not 100 % satisfactory. I was designated to a room that had disabled facilities and no bath even though I paid the same price as th rest of the guests and was only offered an apartment outside hotel with no room service or housekeeping. If I wanted an apartment I would have booked it. Its the fact they never bothered to inform me about th difference to my room is what really annoyed me. My room also had another door linking to another room which was locked and as a girl of 22 staying on my own due to my exams, felt very uneasy and people from the other room kept tryin the door. My breakfast was cold on the first morning of my stay. On my departure i received the bill of 3 days breakfast of 43.50. Even though I paid for bed & breakfast. I complained and receptionist then apologised and blamed it on them being so busy. Busy or not, the waiters knew exactly what I ate as they had 2 different breakfast rates chargeD on different days for me. Obviously not busy if they have time to record that as it is all self service.
