Reviewed By okepat64

The Old Ground is one of our favorite hotels in Ireland. Perfectly located toward the center of Ennis, an adorable town in County Clare. The hotel is charming - with an inviting lobby, wonderful live music in the Poet's corner and delicious food in the Town Hall. The "full Irish" breakfast in the breakfast dining room is not to be missed! Staff are warm and helpful. Rooms have been renovated and are nicely appointed, with wonderful bedding and mattresses. We'll be back!

Anniversary weekend

This was our second visit to the Armada Hotel, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As soon as we registered, we had a wonderful greeting and as we got to our beautiful room we were greeted by a welcoming card, chocolates and Baileys Irish Cream. We would like to express our thanks to Ann and the other ladies on our floor for looking after our requests. They were always present with a smile and a "can we help you". The hotel features, including the bar and restaurants were first class. The view from the breakfast room was superb, and there,. every morning we were greeted and looked after by Patrick who really made us smile. This is a wonderful hotel with first class features, wonderful food and gorgeous views. We thoroughly recommend it, for all occasions SALLY and Wayne

Disappointed this visit

Reviewed By col2016

We had stayed in the main house in the past and we were happy with that. This time we were in the courtyard. The unit we were assigned needed a good dusting, especially behind the bed. One bed side table lamp and the clock were not plugged into the wall socket and were too difficult for us to reach behind the bed to plug them in ourselves. The bath towels were cheap and skimpy. No washcloth was provided. 8AM for breakfast is a bit late in the morning for travelers wishing to head out early in the day. The breakfast was hot and tasty. Our young server was lovely. On the plus side we were offered a cup of tea and a lovely snack when we arrived.

Great, convenient hotel

Reviewed By katrinar204

A pleasure to stay here after a couple not-so-good experiences with other hotels. Large rooms with excellent, fully functional showers including adequate water pressure and no weird temperature shifts in the middle of the shower. Good food and beverages. Very pleasant, attentive staff. Very fast and easy walk to/from Shannon airport. I will definitely stay here again!
