Hotels in Clifden

Often called the capital of Connemara, Clifden is a welcoming town where wild Atlantic scenery meets a relaxed, creative spirit. The main draw is the raw beauty of the surrounding landscape, best experienced on the Sky Road drive for sweeping coastal views or by hiking into the nearby Twelve Bens mountain range. In town, you can browse small art galleries, listen to traditional music in a cosy pub, and visit the site of the historic Marconi wireless station.

Clifden is ideal for couples and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore Connemara's heart. Families enjoy the easy access to beaches like Dog's Bay and the town's walkable scale. Most visitors stay right in the town centre to be close to shops and restaurants, or seek out a countryside B&B for total peace. While there's no train station, regular buses connect to Galway City, and having a car is the best way to reach the area's more remote beauty spots.

Accommodation here is dominated by charming guesthouses, friendly B&Bs, and a few excellent hotels. On HOTEVI, you'll find options like the family-run Clifden Station House Hotel, the centrally located Abbeyglen Castle Hotel, and the modern, comfortable Alcock and Brown Hotel. Each offers a perfect base to return to after a day of Atlantic air.
