Beautiful Accommodations and Friendly Owners
I had a wonderful week stay at The Lanterns Hotel which is in the Tarbert countryside along the "Wild Atlantic Way" overlooking the Shannon River. I had a beautiful room with a 4 poster bed and the owners, Ishi and Raj, were so friendly and accommodating. They knew I didn't have a car so they made arrangements with the most wonderful local woman to show me the sites and she turned out to be full of information and better than the best tour guide I could have ever found. There is a bar/restaurant right on site for meals and a short drive down the road will get you to the ferry to Claire or the quaint little town of Glin. The People of Glin were so warm and welcoming I felt like I knew them forever. I would do this trip again and not change 1 thing. It was just perfect!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel is in a state of disrepair. The grounds need a lot of work, the items such as plumbing are are outdated. We contracted for a double bed but were given a room with 4 singles. This made the room crowded and cluttered. Tv reception was not good. The Inn keeper was not a native so could not give us advice on what to see in the community. A lot of stuff in the halls and the grounds.

Worst customer service Iv ever experienced
After paying for the hotel and having the booking confirmation the hotel owner said they were overbooked and I could not stay. I showed her my booking confirmation and said that the money was taken out of my account. I left annoyed as I had travelled a long way without anywhere to stay. She than rang me again repeating herself saying we could not stay there. She did not offer us accommodation anywhere else after us traveling. She was extremely rude and aggressive on the phone and when I said I would be writing a review on this experience she told me I could write 100 reviews that she didn’t care and it wouldn’t get me a room for the night so there would be no point. In the end she just hung up the phone on me, not a nice way to treat your paying customers. Also to add when I went to reception in the first place to check in I was waiting 10 minutes before someone even came to greet me it seems very disorganized I wouldn’t not recommend.

If I could have given higher than 5 stars I would, the staff were very accommodating, we were there on the weekend they were celebrating their first yr of trading, the celebrations were great, terrific food, and could not fault the service, the staff couldn't do enough, would recommend any one from anywhere in the world to stay at the Lanterns in Tarbet.

Problems started when we walked in
When we arrived the staff (owners?) gave a lukewarm welcome. They seemed disorganized, with one of them cracking a joke at our expense. The room smelled musty and had water stains. Paint and plaster was peeling from the walls, and the cheap laminate flooring was blistering. The toilet tank took 30 minutes to refill between flushes. The WiFi signal in the room was so weak that it couldn't be used. Noise echoed in from the hall, which wasn't helped by the staff having a long loud conversation outside our room. We didn't stay for breakfast; we wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. It was easily the worst hotel we stayed at on our holiday, and yet it was more expensive than some of the others.

This place is untrustworthy
I'd recommend going a long way to avoid this hotel. When we rang to ask about check in times, the management told us they had overbooked and there might not be a room for us even though we had fully paid and had a confirmation. Upon arrival around 3.30 or 4pm they said they were not sure there was a room for us due to overbooking. It was the most unfriendly and shifty way I've ever been received at a hotel. Eventually they said "oh well, they have paid and they are here so we should give them a key". We were shown to a room which was clearly free, which suggests they were trying to bump us off the list: presumably someone else later that day was sent away. Has this hotel been abusing the booking system? To get in at night you have to use your own telephone to call someone to let you in. If your phone doesn't work you are stuck. Even though ours did, we were left out in the cold for a long time waiting. This is a safety risk for some travellers.
