Yeats would probably have enjoyed the full Irish breakfast every bit as much as the guests did.

Guests enjoyed the convenience of the Sligo City Hotel, right in the heart of Sligo and close to shops and attractions and found it a great base for exploring the city.

Guests thought that Eugene the hotel barman exemplified Irish charm and hospitality and called him an asset to the establishment. They loved the food, especially the fish and chips, and enjoyed the great crack in the bar.

Guests noted a variety of problems including disappointing breakfasts, small guest rooms, old fashioned showers and even more old fashioned TV sets.
