Our hotels were fine, but the lay overs in Logan, boston were way too long and they staff is rude.

Our hotels were clean and cheery. We found the staff to be pleasant and very willing to help in any way possible.

Convenient to Shannon Airport

The hotel rooms were very nice, clean, and pleasant. The only criticisms I have are regarding the pub and the breakfast. We tried to get a sandwich in the pub after we arrived and the wait was very long. They need more help during busy times. Breakfast was buffet and only offered limited choices, only scrambled eggs, not prepared any other way, no pastries etc. The elevator was also broken when we arrived.

Caters more to business guests

The Bunratty Castle Hotel provides comfortable, spacious rooms with an adequate full Irish breakfast. The pastries and fruit were excellent; the remainder was standard hotel breakfast fare. Service by the wait staff was exceptional. The in room bathroom was the largest and nicest of the five hotels we used during our visit. The hotel provides hourly courtesy pick up and delivery van service to Shannon air port, about fifteen minutes away.

Take advantage of the Bunratty Castle medieval dinner or the folk park traditional Irish dinner and entertainment. A bit expensive with the dollar to Euro ratio in the tank, but enjoyable nonetheless.

lovely setting, beautiful accommodations!

Bunratty Castle Hotel was very comfortable, the room was plenty large enough for the two of us. The staff were helpful and very polite. We only snacked in the bar, but service and food were great! And, the setting, oh the setting, so calm, quiet and comfortable! And, you could walk to the oldest pub in Ireland. And, it was convenient to the airport!

awesome location

My husband and I flew into Shannon. The hotel was only about a 15 minute ride if that. It is located on the grounds of the Bunratty Castle and Folkpark. The Folkpark is worth the stay right there! Amazing. We had a ball. Dirty Nelly's is also on the grounds. Had a blast there too. The hotel was extremely clean and beautifully kept. Bathrooms...top shelf! The only downfall was the breakfast, which was for free. I did not like it. But, then again I am picky...Hotel staff...great!

Great Place to start vacation, near airport and attractions

My husband and I drove our rental car to this hotel from Shannon Airport. It is a short ride and a nice way to break into the driving and experiencing the country. The room was very comfortable with a large bathroom. The room and the hotel itself were very clean. There is a nice pub in the hotel. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and enjoyed an outside night cap with a view of Bunratty Castle at night. Location is excellent if you decide to attend the Bunratty Feast or Traditional Irish Night festivities as there is no need to move your car, you can walk! Breakfast buffet is included.
