Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the Imperial Lisdoonvarna was a mixed experience. The rooms were decent despite being in a different building down the road. The service was top-notch with a super ambiance, but there were some issues with the dining and noisy surroundings. The location was convenient for exploring Clare and had a touch of romance, yet there were occasional disturbances in the vicinity.
I absolutely loved my stay at the Imperial Lisdoonvarna. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the village near all the pubs and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The dining experience was delicious with the traditional Irish breakfast. However, the pricing seemed a bit over the top for what was offered.
The hotel offers clean and cozy rooms, but the service can be lacking at times. The location is perfect for older guests with good breakfast options. The dining experience is enjoyable with table service. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is in a convenient location, offering easy access to the Cliffs of Moher and the beauty of the Burren. The rooms were very small, basic, and uncomfortably warm at night. The service was a mix of going through the motions but also warm and friendly, except for the barman. The dining experience was just okay, with limited options and quality concerns. While the hotel was spotless and welcoming, it mainly relies on its location as its standout feature.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large with a view over farm fields which was lovely, but unfortunately, the elevator was out of order during our visit, making it extremely difficult for a less mobile member of our group. The service was good overall, though it could have been warmer. The location was perfect for us, close to everything in Clare, but the surroundings left something to be desired. The dining was not great, with dinner being overpriced, but breakfast was freshly prepared. The facilities were decent but nothing exceptional.
