Éalú Lodge

We, three tall and burly gents were looking forward to our two night stay at Sligo and Éalú Lodge as I had booked the FOUR bed room 7 months ago. However our stay was severely impacted by the owner of this establishment reassigning us to a cheaper room with three beds which meant that two of us had to share the lower double bed and the other had the ‘luxury’ of sleeping by himself on the top bunk. Never mind that I’d booked and paid for this FOUR bed room SEVEN months ahead of time and there was no offer of a refund or compensation for our inconvenience. In fact I was told that because I’d only booked for two adults, the owner should charge me more than I’d already paid…for a lesser standard room. If I’ve already paid for a four bed room, what does it matter if three are sharing it? The addition of a fully equipped community kitchen was a bonus, however the fridge was full of food of varying expiry dates and the kitchen rubbish/recycling bins were completely full whilst we were staying there.

Great location and free parking. Room setup is good. Common room amenities are helpful.

If I could rate our stay higher I would. Everything was exceptional. The people who operate the lodge are kind, helpful, and just all around awesome. They let us store our bags ahead of check-in and hangout in the common area post check out. The room itself was super clean. Awesome spot, good value and vibes. We'll 100% stay here again, highly recommend.

The owner was very good about communicating ahead of my stay, and he even stayed up late to make sure I got in OK after my late arrival. Ealu is located in the heart of Sligo, so everything I needed was within an easy walk. The property is exceptionally clean and comfortable. And I love that the owner was easygoing and helpful with advice about the area, including his own outdoor adventure business! Thank you!! I would stay again in a heartbeat!

we loved this place, very awesome staff, extremely comfortable. And friendly helpful people everywhere!
