Frommer's Review
This is a beautifully located hotel, just below the crest of a hill, overlooking the misty Aran Islands. The hotel itself is not a castle, but it sits next to the atmospheric ruins of Ballinalacken Castle. The main hotel building was built in the 1840s, but most of the guest rooms are in a modern wing. If you love architectural detail, ask for a room in the old house, which has high ceilings, marble fireplaces, and, in room no. 16, sweeping views of hill and sea. All rooms are traditionally furnished and quite spacious.
Facilities:
Restaurant (Continental)

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
