Temple Gate Hotel

This hotel was so beautiful. Beds super comfortable. Good location. We were booked for one night only and I wish we could have stayed longer. It is family owned and run and they were so welcoming. I would love to visit the are again and stay there. The pub in the hotel was great!

The Temple gate is a lovely hotel. It’s in a great location, less than 1 minute to the centre of town. The hotel was spotless, the food was great and the staff were extremely friendly and very efficient and there was also plenty of staff. The only let down was the room, it was bland and very standard. I expected it to be better for a 4 star hotel. If the rooms were decorated to be as nice as the rest of the hotel I would definitely stay there again.

Booked this hotel numerous times. |Parking very limited for guests but can park beside the hotel once agreed with staff.|Room spacious, clean but very basic, compared to a lot of hotels I've stated in.|Toilet would not flush properly. Checked by Accommodation. Then by manager. Showed us a "knack" on how to flush it that night as no maintenance available. Received €20 off room. No other rooms available so that was disappointing.|As I said, room clean and tidy and very basic.|Great location. |Will be staying again.

We checked in New Years Eve for a family wedding. I booked online months in advance, and discovered other family members who booked much later had received a much better rate and room quality. Booking online didn't give the information that we were part of a wedding party (my fault perhaps). At checkout the receptionist confirmed that the difference I had paid was because of my online booking. The real disappointment was the room. TV didn't work, no standard13amp power points close to bed which meant I couldn't use my sleep apnea device and the heating was too hot, only controllable by manually turning off radiator. The room was spotlessly clean as was the rest of the hotel.

Nice Hotel in the centre of Ennis, The room was good only the central heating was on too high and i couldn't find a way to turn it down. There was good security to get to the rooms and the maid was very friendly. The public areas were beautiful, a nice bar and restaurant. We enjoyed a nice breakfast again the service was friendly. As an upgrade management may want to consider a Nespresso machine in the rooms with complimentary capsules which most Hotels of this calibre see to provide these days.

Stunning, quiet hotel that felt central to the city of Ennis. The hotel was clean, the shower was enormous, and the sleeping area felt cozy. We had a beautiful view of the courtyard that was shared with the County Clare museum, which was a pleasant view to wake up to in the morning. The hotel bar/restaurant offered a warm, inviting atmosphere with the food far surpassing expectations. Highly recommend this hotel when visiting Ennis.

We stayed at Temple Gate for 2 nights and we had a lovely stay. The hotel is in a great location and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. |We will definitely be returning.

Preachers pub is the best, food is lovely staff are amazing especially steph,always a smile on everyone's face, very friendly hotel have been coming here for years, Sunday lunch in legends is always great roast Beef is a must on a Sunday,reception staff are very good aswell

Excellent Property One block from main street Very quiet; excellent staff, larger rooms, onsite pub, great breakfast.... Highly recommend and we shall return

We originally were booked for one night as part of a tour group. One of our party ended up getting ill. We left the tour group and extended our stay at Temple Gate for a couple of days to let her recover. The staff at the hotel went above and beyond to care for us during the stay. They even arranged a telehealth visit with a local doctor so that our travel insurance would cover the disruption to our trip. Aside from the terrific staff, the hotel is clean and comfortable, an interesting building, and convenient location. Thank you!

We are about to board a tour bus to head to the Dublin airport to board an international flight home and we can't shower because there is NO HOT WATER!!!!!!! WTH?!?? Reception says it was an over sight of the management. No hot water until 6am!!! We leave at 5:30. Beds are hard too. The bar staff were nice. Update.... The elevator wasn't working either.... We were on the 3rd floor. 29 people in our group all having to bring luggage down luggage after not being able to shower. Ugh

We stayed at the Temple Gate Hotel on a tour of Scotland and Ireland and I'm sorry that we were only here for 1 night. This is a lovely hotel with a good "Irish feel" to it. The staff was great and showed a lot of Irish hospitality. There are a great restaurant and pub onsite and the facilities are very good and well maintained. Our room was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay on this hotel on my next trip to Ireland. We stayed at this hotel as part of a 15-day tour of Ireland and Scotland with CIE Tours. This hotel was selected by CIE and was one of 9 hotels we stayed in during our 2-week tour. We had 31 people in our group and typically occupied 16 rooms at each hotel we visited. Each hotel provided a full buffet breakfast every morning and typically we had dinner at least once at each hotel. We were at this hotel for 1 night. We had 1 dinner and 1 breakfast here. The breakfast buffet was a traditional Irish breakfast (eggs, ham, sausage, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, haggis and a nice assortment of pastries and cereal).

Perfect location with free parking to enjoy your stay in Ennis. Rick Steve's guidebook steered us here, and we enjoyed it so much, we came back on our second visit. What you get is a simple, clean and quiet hotel room. The staff at check-in are super friendly and will go out of their way to help you with directions, suggestions on food, and even weather related road closure information (we came during a flooding season, and were trying to drive to Cliffs of Moher, and the front desk gave us tips on road diversions and alternate route to the coast). The location can't be beat as you are steps from the old downtown Ennis and can walk to several bars, restaurants, pharmacies, ATMs, coffee shops, etc. The hotel also has two onsite restaurants (one pub Preachers, and the other a fancy restaurant - forget the name). Also literally next door is a huge department store/grocery store called Dunnes (think Super Target or Super Wal Mart, but much classier with better clothing options). The free WiFi actually works great too and was a great help for those without international data plans. Next time I'm flying in or out of Shannon, I will definitely consider staying here again.

The staff of this hotel are the epitome of Irish hospitality. It's location within the beautiful town of Ennis is second to none and I cannot wait for my next trip back. Thank you very much for making my first vacation in Ireland a memorable one.

We stayed at the Temple Gate Hotel for three nights. The lobby is very nice and the rooms are comfortable; everything is pretty modern. The rooms are not very exciting, but are very clean. Also, this hotel has an adorable courtyard and is steps to downtown. Unfortunately, the courtyard also channels noise from late-night revelers into the rooms. Overall, I would stay here again if in Ennis, but be wary of the noise.

This is my favourite hotel in Ennis. It's literally in the centre of town and within walking distance to every part of Ennis. The hotel is lovely and the service is brilliant. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The food is also amazing in the restaurant and pub. They have two different menus as the pub serves classic pub food and has a carvery during lunch, while the restaurant is more upscale with some quite amazing dishes. They also have a great brunch on the weekends. Whenever I have friends or relatives come to town we have them stay here.

A perfectly adequate hotel, but nothing special. It was kind of a hot night and the hotel reception area was stifling. Our rooms were better, but still quite warm. The lift was extraordinarily slow, so the stairs were a much better bet to get to the room. The room itself was just ok. Two small, hard beds, a serviceable bathroom with that annoying half shower door (this time with a new twist - it was moveable!), and so forth. The breakfast was not so great, with obviously powdered scrambled eggs that nearly everyone left on their plates. It was also a set menu for the hot breakfast, which created a lot of waste - besides the inedible eggs, not everyone wanted a tomato, or sausage, etc.

Great, pretty hotel. Walking distance to the pubs and restaurants and it has a pub inside the hotel. Rooms are great, comfy. Definitely recommend.

Great location in Ennis, within easy walking distance to a number of fun pubs and restaurants. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Free wifi throughout the hotel and free parking as well. We were surprised how much we enjoyed exploring the small town of Ennis, and particularly enjoyed the abundance of live traditional Irish music in the pubs - Temple Gate hotel is the perfect home base for a great night out!

I was with a group of 30 that stayed at the Temple Gate just two weeks ago. As a "fun loving" group, let us say that our presence was known at the staff at Hotel and attached Pub. Every staff member, from cleaning service, reception desk to bartender, were attentive, fun and professional. They seemed excited to join in our excitement. The rooms were clean and neat and sizable for the other side of the pond. The location was great as well. I would stay there again should I find myself in Ennis in the future.

Quaint rooms and friendly staff. The room is clean and quiet. It's not fancy but that's not what we expected or wanted anyway. They also have free WiFi, just ask for the password when you check in. There's also free parking on site. Within walking distance to everything Ennis has to offer but you can stay on site and be just fine. The food is AMAZING!!! We had breakfast this morning and it was delicious. Now winding down our day with some drinks and dinner only to find we should've eaten here every meal. Quality food with nice rich flavor and presentation. The service is excellent and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Not what I expected for a 4 star hotel but I guess seeing as the area is small, this makes more sense. Has some old charm mixed with small town hotel. The television needs to be upgraded. It's just a small old school set up. Also the temperature control is only by the radiator or openin the window to a sketchy looking alley way and tattered building. The elevator was tiny... Don't try to squish into it. The library sounds great in the hotel book but it's actually a small room with older furniture and not as appealing as we had envisioned. Good location for access to the shops and other food location. The pub inside the hotel is worth a try. The parking is convenient.

Room and furniture need to be repainted - every wall has marks and every piece of furniture is missing paint. Sheets have holes. Wi-fi is glacial. Room is cold and no extra blanket supplied. No bottled water supplied. An almost 50% service fee added to room service. Porter left luggage in front of door - anyone could have taken it. Phone in room covered in crumbs. No washcloths supplied.

We came into Ennis late and looked for a hotel for a while and fortunately found this great place. Very good customer service at an affordable price. Front desk staff is exceptional. Nice rooms. Good security. Full breakfast menu as part of the room price. Excellent location to interesting Ennis old town area. Their Pub is OK, but there are more interesting ones with live Irish music right around corner,
