Booked our night with Expedia and received a confirmation from then arrived at the hotel to be told that the hotel was closed and they hadn't received any booking very annoyed but very thankful the owner was about and opened up 2 rooms for us...He was very helpful and kind to do so while he has no staff there and included him cooking breakfast the next morning for us...my gripe would be with expedia here ...

Hit and miss...
Strangely for a key service industry, every bona fide customer enquiry gave rise to a litany of service supplier problems endured by the owner. Contrary to the marketing blurb, there was no wifi in the bedroom and it was not dependable even in the lobby. Multi channels were promised also but there was no signal and/or decent picture except for two stations. Eventually, on suggesting that one could be relocated from one of the many unoccupied rooms, we were provided with the plug for our bath. Breakfast was cooked to order and was very good but no other meals were available. Bar was serviced by owner in the evening in between covering reception. The Halcyon spa had never actually opened. At check out, the card machine was not working so we were despatched to an ATM at the local petrol station.

No bar.No restaurant. Damp smell throughout the hotel. All fire doors propped open with wedges. 3 staff running the whole place. Lawn at front of hotel not cut,windows filthy. Beautiful place for hotel,looking over the ocean and thatched cottages nearby.Could be making an absolute mint if run properly...

We booked a room for 2 adults and a child (16). When we arrived we were told that we only booked for 2 adults despite our email stating 2 adults and a child. The receptionist tried to charge us an extra 25 euro to include our daughter and then remarked that they only regard people under 12 as children and we were 'lucky' to get the room. We refused to pay the extra money as it was no fault of our own. The three of us shared a room with my wife and daughter taking the bed while I slept on the floor. The room itself was damp and had a strange odour. The bathroom was overrun with water when we used the shower. The breakfast on offer was terrible and we decided to eat locally instead. Very poor service.

A bit disapointing
est part of visit was the breakfast and the woman on the reception desk. Our bedroom had the following faults. 1.Could not take a shower as the water was boiling. No amount of regulation solved that problem. This was an important fault as I needed a shower after a cycle of 135k 2. Could not read in the room as there was insufficient light. had to go downstairs to read. 3.Telephone was dead. 4. No safe in room

Very nice
Lovely one night stay in Burren Atlantic Hotel which is located close to Monks Bar and Restaurant. Lovely rooms and bathroom. We had dinner that night and it was very tasty. Apple crumble was the nicest I have ever had and we were served by a lovely waitress. Breakfast was freshly cooked and perfect. I would recommend this Hotel.

Good stopover.
Our stay was fine. The exterior Of The hotel looked neglected. The Spa was never developed. V. few staff. So they were v. busy. V. quiet area but within walking distance of town. Breakfast maybe a little slow but it's all freshly cooked for you.

The hotel has a great location in the Burrens and has an affordable price. Check in was brief and not very welcoming. They said they had us booked for two rooms, but after showing them my Expedia reservation they just shrugged it off. The room was spacious, but had cobwebs in the corner and the shower curtain fell randomly in the middle of the night. Breakfast isn’t served till 8:00 and that isn’t posted anywhere. We were up early to get a start to our day and headed down to breakfast at 7:45. The lights in the restaurant were off and the door was locked. There was another couple waiting who was also confused. We ended up leaving at 7:50 and had breakfast at McDonalds. We asked the desk later that night and he said, “Breakfast is served from 8:00-10:00. Is that alright with you?” Mixed feelings on this place. Would have stayed somewhere different if everything wasn’t booked.

Pretty location out across from the water. The manager was very nice and hardworking, but appeared to be doing everything himself and could use some help.
