Ivy Tower Hotel

One of the cleanest and very friendly Hotel that I have stayed in for a long time. Food was really good and the bar was very comfortable. No need to leave the hotel at all. We had original booked for 2 nights but because of all of the above we stay an extra night. Thank you to Mary and staff for a lovely holiday.

The Hotel is located centrally in Castlebar so car was parked with a free parking sticker provided by the Ivy Tower and we walked and explored the town leisurely on our visit. The Hotel is clean, appealing and comfortable. The staff were efficient, pleasing and friendly. The breakfast was excellent with many choices. A thoroughly happy stay.

We were kicked out of the hotel bar at 1am. Late bars close at 2. Hotel bars can be open longer. No harm I thought, I have to drive home tomorrow. Might as well get some sleep. No. People are screaming outside as I type this at 4am. I went down stairs and saw people still in the bar. So I asked one of the staff coming out if the car was still open. He said "no, the staff are gone". So I went back up and quietly sat on a seat outside my room (I was with 2 friends who I didn't want to disturb). I was promptly told by said staff member as he was walking past that I couldn't sit there at night. I told him I couldn't sleep because of the noise outside to which he replied "nothing I can do about that". Great. I guess I'll just crash my car driving home tomorrow.

We had to stay here in an emergency when our car broke down. They were extremely accommodating and friendly. They fit our family of five into a room and put no pressure on us to check out until we got sorted. We had dinner in the bar which was lovely. Breakfast was nice too.

This was our first stay at The Ivy Tower Hotel and we were very impressed. The reception, service, room hygiene, food, and overall service was just excellent. The Hotel is of Gotic deco and a little dated, but the service is right up to date. The receptionist gave us valuable local information on what to do and shared golden nuggets of information that totally enhanced our stay. The lounge bar served up the best pint of Guinness I ever had, and the food served is superb. It was mid June yet they had the room heating on and at a comfortable setting as it was quite chilly outside for June. This set the mood for our totally enjoyable visit. A superb location in the centre of Castlebar, at a very competitive price. We will be back.

We had a one night stay at the Ivy Tower Hotel (formerly the Welcome Inn) in Castlebar on a Friday night before a football match. The hotel is well located near the centre of the town. Facilities at the hotel were very good with rooms, toilets etc very clean. The drinks in the bar were also good as was the breakfast. I would have no hesitation in returning.
