The Ellison

We chose the Ellison at the last minute, as I had taken the day off to attend my graduation ceremony, and we decided to take the train to Castlebar. From the very beginning, the hotel exceeded our expectations with their exceptional care and thoughtfulness. Before our arrival, they proactively called to advise on safe driving due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Bert, and they reassured us with flexible check-in options in case of any delays. When we arrived, we were greeted by a magical sight, the landscape was completely covered in snow, creating a winter wonderland that took our breath away. The next morning, we were delighted by the generous breakfast spread, which offered a wide variety of sweet and savoury options to suit every taste. The hotel was bustling with students and their families gathered for the local university’s graduation ceremony, filling the hall with a lively and festive atmosphere. What truly sets the Ellison apart is the warmth and friendliness of its staff. Their genuine hospitality made our stay even more special, and we are so grateful for the wonderful experience. Thank you for making such an important occasion even more unforgettable!

Absolutely everyone who works in that hotel , are so customer based & nothing is too much trouble . Car parking is excellent. The room was clean, bright & so comfortable for our 4 night stay . The bed was so comfortable, just wish we could have had a lie-in. Breakfast delicious . We had dinner Monday evening & I would 110% recommend it, it was so well presented & the lamb was so tender, got to say the best meal we have had in ages. I would go back in a heartbeat .

The hotel is very close to the center. Rooms were modern and comfortables. Staff were lovely and breakfast was very good. We went to a show in the TF Royal, Castlebar Events Theatre and it was a two minute walk to it from the hotel which was great. There was also a carpark which was great.

All staff were very hospitable, helpful, friendly and chatty, we instantly felt welcomed at reception. Great location and price. The food in Siar restaurant was very tasty, nicest Thai Red curry I’ve had! Room service was also great, delivered very efficiently and presented nicely. It’s not often I’ve felt compelled to leave a review but this stay warranted it, I’ve also been recommending it to family since. Well done to all involved.

We received a very warm and friendly welcome from all the staff. The room was spacious clean and nicely designed with soft colours. The room was warm and extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was clean with lovely soft and fresh white towels .The meals were extremely good value and the food was that of a very high quality. There was a great choice for breakfast, something for everyone to enjoy and set you up with a good start for the day. The dinner menu again was presented with plenty of really interesting and exciting choices ,just what we needed after a memorable day of touring. It was lovely and relaxing to finish off the day with a nice drink sitting in the bar area just watching the world go by and feeling ,I wish we could stay a little longer. I certainly would recommend the Ellison for all the above reasons and i am looking forward to returning for my next well deserved break!
