Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall, thanks to the beautiful views and the clean, cozy rooms. The food, especially the seafood chowder, was impressive, but the experience was somewhat marred by issues with service and the room's upkeep during our latest visit. Overall, a lovely spot for relaxing, but there were a few hiccups that could use improvement.
The hotel had a lovely ambiance with enthusiastic staff who made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The scenic location added to the charm, but I was disappointed with the Wi-Fi accessibility and the room lighting. Overall, it felt like a nice place with some areas needing improvement.
My stay at the hotel was mainly positive, with comfortable accommodations and friendly interactions with the staff. The views of the bay were stunning, and the breakfast was truly delightful. However, the Wi-Fi was somewhat slow and limited, and the dining options, while convenient, could be improved in quality. Overall, it was a solid choice for exploring Achill Island.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at Achill Island Hotel! The staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable, and the room we had was clean and had a lovely view. However, I did notice a decline in the food quality compared to previous visits, which was disappointing. Overall, the experience was still solid, especially considering the reasonable prices.
