We had booked a family room and we got two massive rooms together with a huge king size bed and two singles in the other room for the kids. Very clean and well presented. Kids loved the leisure centre swimming pool! Hotel located just outside city centre it was perfect for our stay! Highly recommend!
We loved our stay. The property is beautiful. The large stone building makes you feel like you are walking into a castle. The rooms were modern and wonderful and the staff was super friendly. If your in Sligo I would highly recommend this place!!!
The Clayton was quiet, away from the noise of Sligo and very family oriented. We enjoyed the sauna, the restaurant/bar and the breakfasts were excellent. It’s slightly outdated and the rooms are small but well appointed. The staff was friendly and very helpful, parking was ample. Overall, we recommend especially if you have a car.
Really good family rooms in a central location to Sligo. A very large hotel so you will definitely get in your steps. Breakfast was okay but average for a hotel of this brand.
Spent 15 days in Ireland/Scotland this was one of our best stays. Kids loved the heated pool and it’s a nice way to unwind from a busy day in the city. Bus stop out front takes you into the city.
Clean room, friendly staff. A bit outside of town so that we needed to drive to a pub. But it was fun staying in a castle. I would have liked to have some info in the room about the history of the building. Maybe it was in the room and I missed it?
Lovely hotel in it’s own ground. Great gym, pool and spa.
Lots of space and areas to sit and relax in.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was cold and needed to get a base heater. Staff was very friendly and helpful such as Inoch and Anna at the front desk and Kamila in the restaurant for breakfast .
Actually Kamila was incredible , moving the breakfast , talking to people, making sure the buffet was always full and always smiling!! She could run any department in a hotel if not the hotel!
