Shamrock Inn Hotel

What guests think

Travellers describe Shamrock Inn Hotel as a friendly, centrally located base in Lahinch, with helpful staff, easy access to the beach, pubs, and golf, and convenient onsite parking that can feel tight at busy times.

Rooms vary from updated to dated; several note small sizes, thin walls, street noise, and no air conditioning during warm spells. There is no elevator, and check in and some dining are handled next door at the Atlantic, which some found confusing; Wi-Fi can be weak in rooms toward the back. Expect a charming, no frills stay with tasty breakfasts.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms are quaint. Parking can be difficult (it’s first come first served) and stairs are inevitable to access the rooms (for anyone needing accessibility support).

From the moment our reservation was booked, the staff at the Shamrock Inn and Hotel were attentive, kind and eager to assist with our needs. Tracy, the reservations manager, was especially responsive when our originating flight had to be re-booked at the last minute and we arrived a day later than expected. Lahinch is a lovely town right on the water with lots of restaurants, shops and views all around. The room was very clean and comfortable, though small due to the fact that it is an older hotel. A gated parking lot at the back of the property was easily accessible and safe. We had a lovely stay!

Our stay at the Shamrock was excellent. Between the great location (golf, pubs, beach) and friendly staff, the Shamrock was outstanding. The off-street parking was very convenient as well.

Parking out back with large staircase to rooms. Hotel front desk closed so checked in next door. So we needed to park - go to other hotel - bring luggage through then outside again then up stairs to room. Our bar closed which was part of the reason we picked this spot. Room smelled a bit musty. Overall, it was a place to rest our heads in a good location. We had supper across the street.

The location appears to justify the price, however, and absent it own reception and cater The Atlantic Hotel ajoining would have been better as going next door for everything is not the stay I had anticipated. My room was full of stuff to aid my stay - cluttered. The ensuite clean but latch is a hazzard, the raised head of a floor fixing. A brokem light fitting is unsafe. While the management and staff work hard I did feel cheated. The breakfast is the best I've had in a while!

We had a great stay, great location. Perfect for those needing parking.. be prepared to climb stairs to rooms. The breakfast is delicious. The service was wonderful. We stayed on the second floor appears to be in some upgrades with hallways half painted beds comfortable.. my greatest disappointment was that we were at the back of the hotel, and there is no Wi-Fi until you walk to the front of the building which is problematic at the end of the day when you’re trying to plan or communicate with others. We had to leave our room to access the Internet if you’re staying at the front of the building, there is signal, but is weak. Our waitress at breakfast was fantastic. Gave us suggestions for local music night.

Cozy hotel right in the middle of a cute Irish seaside town. Our only difficulty was that we happened to be there during a “heat wave” & rooms don’t have AC so it was a bit hot. Our room was right on the main road & with windows open for air circulation, it was a bit loud with traffic & pub noise both late into the night & very early in the morning. Breakfast was great.

We enjoyed Lahinch! Walking distance to a variety of pubs/restaurants, but we really enjoyed the Cornerstone and ate there both nights. The initial check-in is a bit confusing as the the hotel is connected with the Atlantic next door and that is where you check in. We visited the Cliffs of Moher from here. Lahinch also has a nice walking beach close to the hotel, which we enjoyed.

No fridge, no safe and no bottled drinking water (on request two bottles supplied) Soap dispenser empty which was filled on request sadly it was not fixed back to the bathroom wall. The dinner in the bar was excellent the breakfast choices average.
