8/10 Very good

Nice Celtic tiger style spa hotel that is clean and comfortable. Unfortunately spoiled by noisemakers late at night, to be honest I’m not entirely sure if it was coming from the hotel or not. I found all the staff friendly and accommodating.

Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and cleaned each day. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The bar was modern and staff were pleasant, the food was excellent. We stayed in August and thought as the hotel was busy there would be some nightly entertainment but there wasn't. The pool and it's facilities I couldn't fault. We will definitely return.

10/10 Exceptional

We used one of the function rooms for a 230 family member gathering and the catering was great along with the function room. We also stayed the night which was very comfortable. The only thing I would say is that there weren't enough plug points for charging phones etc, only because they were used for lamps, kettle and fridge. But this is a minor factor and could be resolved by hard wiring some of these items. Overall had a really great stay. Thank you.

Surprised at the size of the hotel for its location. The sound of water rushing to fill a tank in the middle of the night was unexpected!

Good hotel for weekend stay.

Hotel is surprisingly big and very nice. Especially entrance reception area. Room wee bit used but clean. Pool busy need more attention for cleaning. Just one sauna was working that night.

Excellent hotel 10/10

Excellent hotel. Very good service. Massive room and very comfortable beds. Very friendly receptionists. The TV in the room was massive. Short walk to the local amenities. Our room had a spacious patio. The lobby area where you sit down was like a little library very quirky with all the books and very luxurious comfy sofas. I walked past the bar area and it looked pretty trendy and plenty of people in it. Very big hotel over all. Highly recommended for anyone to stay here and very reasonably priced

Big rooom. Clean and cute. The bar looked adorable. Super nice staff (lady from nyc) would totally come again. It was so nice to stay in a jcie hotel after some sketch air bnbs. Just book this hotel if you are on the fence. Not too far of a drive from the cliffs, stopped at some castles on the way and stooped by a cute little town for sunset and dinner after the cliffs

6/10 Good

Very comfortable and spacious room but noisy.

Room was very comfortable. Lovely leisure centre. There was a concert downstairs though so room was very noisy. It was due to finish at 10.30pm according to reception but didn’t finish until 11.15pm. Would think twice about staying again if there was a function on.

Beautiful hotel Heads up that (to the best of my knowledge) there’s no public transportation (including cabs) in Ballinasloe. The train station is not walking distance
