Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Sligo
The nearest gateway to Sligo is Ireland West Knock Airport (NOC), situated 45.86 km away, which offers the most efficient and budget-friendly access via direct bus or private taxi. Donegal Airport (CFN) is the next closest at 85.09 km; however, it lacks direct public transport, making a pre-booked taxi or rental car essential. For international travelers, Dublin Airport (DUB) is 173.57 km away but provides the most frequent public transport, including a convenient direct Expressway coach service. City of Derry Airport (LDY) and George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) serve Northern Ireland; both are over 120 km from Sligo and generally require complex bus transfers or higher-cost private transport. If you prioritize budget and ease of travel, arriving at Ireland West Knock Airport (NOC) is highly recommended. For those arriving internationally, Dublin Airport (DUB) offers a reliable, well-connected alternative. Always pre-book private transfers if arriving at more remote airports, as taxi availability can be limited in rural areas.

The hotel is a castle, very big. We gave a room in a very corner when we checked in (but we didn't ask for it on the spot). If you have any requirements for the floor location of the room, you can ask at the front desk. You should be able to get a satisfactory room. Because the room is located in a very corner, the journey from the front desk to the room is like walking through a maze, passing through countless fire safety doors along the way (really!!!) But the hotel service is very good, the breakfast is also very rich, and we also had dinner in the hotel restaurant during our stay. Thai curry chicken rice, all chicken, but the rice is unpalatable (probably because not many people here order this meal, it feels like the rice has been left for a long time)FromUS$166

The location of this hotel is very good, in the city center. Unfortunately, there are no scenic spots here😔, but the facilities of the hotel are very poor. The water in the bathroom of the first room was very slow. After complaining, we were changed to the second room. The room was larger, but There is no heating. It turned out that the switch of the machine was controlled by the reception. The staff forgot to turn it on😅, and the heater in the bathroom could not be turned on. It was only 3 degrees that day, and it was the same after changing 3 rooms😤FromUS$141
