Our night at the hotel was so nice. We learned it recently was restored and was worth the stay. So close to Doolin - where we spent some time and ate dinner there so was nice for a quick trip. The family room fit us and our two teens perfectly with space to move around the room - unusual for Europe and was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was included and it was a full continental breakfast with orders of hot food available. Such a great experience. I would recommend.

A recent complete renovation makes the Hydro a beautiful hotel to stay on at a very reasonable per night room cost. Fabulous vibe, great service from all the staff!

The Hydro Hotel was a perfect location for the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival. The Saturday night club/disco catered to the younger crowd and they carried on until the wee hours. The restaurant at the hotel did not disappoint. The breakfast was amazing. The dinner menu had something for everyone including gluten free options. It was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location. Despite being a busy hotel and getting a room on the ground floor, the room was well insulated and was very quiet. Beds were very comfortable. Shower had poor water pressure, which was annoying, but overall bathrooms very clean. Breakfast is average good.

The hotel is going through an extensive renovation. Common areas are beautifully redesigned and comfortable. Rooms are older but will eventually be updated. Complimentary breakfast was amazing. On site restaurant was excellent. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at the Hydro! The staff were so kind and helpful! Grace in particular went out of her way to help us find a lost object. We loved the property! The rooms were spacious and clean! We loved the corner room with windows on two walls! We will hopefully be back some day!

It was a fine stay. The room was very dated, but the bed was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good with gluten free options from the kitchen. The fact that such a big property doesn’t have a gym is kind of mind-blowing, and unfortunately the town seemed completely dead even on a Saturday evening. The public areas have all been updated and are really nice which I’m sure looks nice for social media, but I would have preferred that they started the renovations with the rooms. The staff was lovely and helped with my luggage because the lift was also broken.

The hotel is very nice. I understand it’s under renovation so the room was quite old. smelled musty and damn But beds were pretty comfortable. The bathroom was probably the worst about the room. It was old and but functioned somewhat again. The hotel is under renovation so this is understanding the staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was pretty good. Breakfast was lovely so for overall 9/10.

The staff were great; very helpful and prompt with service wether it was at the restaurant or in the morning for breakfast. They are working on rejuvenating the hotel but keep to the heritage of the site. Rooms were spacious, clean. The renovations thus far completed looked great when walking through the reception area, check in was very easy, overall a great experience! Would highly recommend and would love to come back in the future! Thanks Hydro hotel!
