What guests think

At Clew Bay Hotel, travelers consistently praise the central Westport location, friendly and helpful staff, and easy low-cost public parking nearby; rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though some features feel a little dated.

Cleanliness is repeatedly praised. Breakfast is widely rated excellent with good variety and attentive service, though a few guests mentioned limited hours or uneven cooked items. Frequent minor drawbacks include street or hallway noise, very warm rooms with heavy duvets, small or awkward showers, and mattresses some found too soft. Expect a friendly, well-located stay with strong breakfast and a few comfort quirks.

Very nice hotel. Comfortable room. Parking in adjacent car park which serves the local leisure centre. Three euros per 24 hours and beside the hotel so works out well. Pleasant staff.

Great location in the heart of Westport. Nice hotel. Public parking is a minor negative. Dinner was quiet nice but the cooked part of the breakfast was not up to good standards. The grill was tired and overcooked. The scrambled eggs were liquidy. The rest of the buffet was of a good standard. Staff were friendly, helpful and informative. All in all we enjoyed our trip.

Wonderful hotel and even better staff. Our room was spacious and clean. I would have preferred fluffier pillows but that's just me. The hotel is in an excellent location, very close to restaurants, pubs, shops and the greenway. I believe that they have a bike store so we plan to stay there again and bring our bicycles. Reception and especially breakfast bar staff were beyond helpful. The ladies at the breakfast bar are polite, helpful and made sure that we got delicious breakfast quicklyandthat everythingwas just right from a very good selection. This hotel definitely found excellent staff to hire. We loved our stay at Clew Bay Hotel and highly recommend it.

We were on a tour that took us to Westport, that had us staying right on loud and busy Octagon. We were happy to move down the street, after our tour ended, to Clew Bay. Very kind staff, EXCELLENT full breakfast (tho' the hours did not work well for us, only 8 - 10 am each day, and we had early calls... ) and quiet. Furnishings a bit tired? but staff were nice and helpful. Hopefully, hotel will upgrade beds and carpets in the near future.

Excellent location, quaint, cozy, impeccably clean B & B. Old Irish pubs nearby - had drinks at the Porterhouse with live Irish music and at the end of the night we were holding hands with the patrons as he (and we) sang Sweet Caroline. There’s also a big supermarket down the block - so convenient. The only negative was our room faced the busy street, and you can hear the 6am traffic. Ask for a room at the back of the hotel! Pics attached.

This was a fantastic boutique hotel. Service was amazing and parking was $3 euro a day. The only thing I would have to say is that the beds were too soft and not comfortable in my opinion. If you prefer a firmer mattress I would not recommend this one. Otherwise it was perfect.

I would have rated the property 'EXCELLENT' had it not been for the 'European' style shower which covers only 1/2 of the shower opening and hence the floor gets washed as well as your body. The restaurant, MADDEN'S, is excellent for both breakfast and dinner. Note to other Americans: The Black and White 'Puddings' served with the large b-fast are an acquired taste.
