River Island Hotel in Castleisland

The hotel is highly recommended; everyone is super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very good and clean, and the bed is very comfortable. The location is also good; you can get anywhere from there.

Friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

Nice old style hotel in the town centre. Staff very pleasant, rooms reasonable.

The room and the staff are very nice, but the breakfast was not so good.

Great hotel. Yes it is a bit older but it is so charming with the entrance, the library and the dining room. All the staff are so nice and helpful and solved our problem quickly and professionally.

We recently stayed at The River Island Hotel in Castleisland. We were pleasantly surprised by its old-world grandeur, especially the lobby and hotel bar areas, which truly left us in awe. The public spaces are beautifully maintained, full of character, and set the tone for a unique stay. The hotel bar also serves a great pornstar martini. While the rooms themselves feel more dated than grand—with smaller spaces, lower ceilings, and traditional decor—they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's worth noting that parking is conveniently located nearby, even if it's not directly on hotel premises. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional service. Check-in and check-out were friendly, efficient, and probably the most professional we've ever encountered. The hotel staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Our experience at the restaurant was somewhat mixed. While our waiter seemed a little unsure about our preferences, the food itself was tasty and reasonably priced. At breakfast servers were kind. Food was very basic. In choice and flavor. Ultimately, we enjoyed a good night's rest and found the hotel to offer great value for money. If you appreciate classic interiors and stellar service, and don't mind rooms with a bit of vintage charm, you'll find a lot to love at The River Island Hotel. The magnificent lobby and bar are truly memorable!

This is an older style hotel. But it is very clean. Food was lovely and not expensive.
