The Ritz House

What guests think

Travellers describe The Ritz House as a welcoming, centrally located base for exploring the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, with standout friendly staff, a lively pub with regular live music, and generally satisfying food and made to order breakfasts.

Rooms are often small and can get warm due to no air conditioning, with some thin walls, though several guests found them comfortable and a few recently renovated. Cleanliness is mostly praised, but a handful of reviews mention dated areas and occasional maintenance or bathroom issues. Expect a modest, lively stay with strong hospitality and convenient access to nearby sights.

Chambre confortable et bien placée dans le secteur des Falaises de Moher cependant la salle de bain n'était pas nickel, il y avait un pansement sur le mur et le carrelage autour de lavabo était tâché. Il n'y a pas de parking sur place mais un stationnement gratuit dans la rue. Bon petit-déjeuner et personnel aimable. Rapport qualité prix un peu élevé en comparaison de ce que l'on peu trouver en Irlande.

I would totally recommend this hotel. We booked here because it was really close from the Cliffs of Moher, literally a 15 minutes drive from the hotel. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. They allowed us to do early check in with no previous notice and no charge. It was a Tuesday and there was live music in the downstairs pub and dinner available in the restaurant.

It’s a cute hotel and has a nice restaurant and bar. There was live music both nights we were there and they were very good. The staff were amazing and the food was really good. Just some things to pay attention to if you want them. There was no refrigerator, but if you don’t need it then no problem. Also the outdoor pics are not the actual hotel I was told it was of a local spa that is no longer in business. I went by it because it didn’t look like the picture. I’ll post what it looks b like so you don’t miss it. The other pics are just what is around town.

The whole hotel was very rundown and sad. It smelled like stale bar smoke. The room had hair on the bed along with worn out and sandpaper rough linens. The shower door was hanging off its track. There was mold in the corners and the carpet stunk. It felt like a you hostel more than a hotel.

Highlights: charming location and convenient to cliffs of Moher and Lahinch - great little surf town. Charming room - very well maintained. Restaurant is open late into evening when most else is closed. Food is excellent. Breakfast was hearty and good - not sure it’s worth the higher priced rooms though. Wish list: There was no AC. We were there in a warm spell and with 4 of us in the room it was hot at night. Window only opened a crack. The photo of the lovely garden stetting on the property details page is not of this hotel. No garden setting. Right in village which was convenient. There were no hooks for towels anywhere which was annoying.

I would not recommend this hotel B&B to anyone. Although the rooms are comfortable and clean, the bathrooms are too small with no where to put your toiletries and the water was too cold to shower. The food was very underwhelming and tasteless (extremely basic scrambled eggs and toast) and the staff was not welcoming at all. They charged full prices for my kids meals even though they were half portions and made a big deal about it. Therefore, this hotel was not accommodating to me or my family. The hotel is pretty outdated. I would never stay here again!

The Ritz House staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They had a bar downstairs with live music which was great to hang out in. And the breakfast was fantastic. A proper classic Irish breakfast. I definitely recommend!

Insgesamt mittelmäßig. Kein Luxus aber man kann dort übernachten. Sehr nahe an denn Cliffs of Moher daher haben wir dort 2 Nächte übernachtet. Frühstück war gut. Man bekam ein Menü zum bestellen und dann eben eine Self serve corner. Hier war ein Manko: viel zu wenig Brot. Wir sind 4 Personen und alle haben Spiegeleier etc. gefrühstückt. Dazu gab es 4 Scheiben Toast. Das war definitiv zu wenig und man musste einsparen, damit die Kinder noch Toast haben.. Brot gab es am Buffet nicht. Sehr unpraktisch.
