Had a really lovely Saturday night stay in this hotel. Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful, room was spacious and clean. Would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Great hotel, rooms very well kept and spacious, beds very comfortable. Leisure centre was lovely also. Food was great both in the restaurant and the room service for breakfast. Some times when you order breakfast to the room it's only luke warm, this was piping hot. Only bad thing to say was our room wasn't ready until 3pm and we arrived shortly after 2pm. We would go back again and would recommend this hotel to friends.

We stayed at the Killeshin Hotel for one night. The hotel is very nice and clean. We had a very good meal in the restaurant and the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our stay unfortunately there was no entertainment of any kind on the saturday which we thought would be on account of the Bank Holiday Weekend. However we did enjoy our stay and very good value.

by mary on May 8 2012 12:05

We had a very present stay at the hotel. The reception area was very presentable; the staff were extremely professional and friendly. The room was spacious with everything you would expect in a modern hotel. The bathroom was new and extremely clean. The bedroom itself could have been a little cleaner as there was dust and handprints on the headboard, however this did not take from the overall experience. There was a great selection for breakfast and the quality of the breakfast food served was excellent. The swimming pool was also an added bonus. We would have liked to eat in the bar on arrival, however it was small and there were no free tables because there was a match on the TV. Other than that we had an extremely pleasant stay and I would have no problem recommending this hotel.

by Marie on Apr 23 2012 15:08

Stayed in this hotel for a Friday night stay. Beautiful hotel, food was delicious and the service was superb. The only fault I had was hotel room very hot even with window open and heating turned down.

by Lyn Mc on Apr 16 2012 13:16

Very satisfactory stay in the Killeshin. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner in the restaurant exceeded our expectations-Delicious. Only comment was that the hotel seemed characterless (Celtic Tiger build). Other than that very pleasant and would have no hesitation in recommending!

by A&J on Apr 11 2012 11:41

Had a very enjoyable stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Would visit again

by deb on Apr 10 2012 17:28

Eexcellent hotel really enjoyed my stay at the Killeshin Hotel and food was fab, staff very nice and helpful will be back here again.

by Dolores on Apr 9 2012 20:25

Great hotel for a family stay. Staff, room, pool & food were all excellent. Will definitely be back!

by james on Apr 6 2012 20:49

We stayed in the Family Room at the Killeshin on Monday last,we received a very warm welcome,with little Easter Bunny's for the children. We enjoyed a lovely meal in the bar, good choice for the children and adults also. The room was clean & comfortable as was the swimming pool. My only gripe was paying €3.50 for 2 scoops of icecream for the kids & service was a tad slow on the evening although they did seem to be doing a good trade which may explain it.A very pleasant hotel for an enjoyable stay

by cath ryan on Apr 3 2012 13:05

We would give Killeshin Hotel in Portlaoise a 5 Star Rating, from the time we checked in to our departure. In particular the Staff were second to none... So professional, friendly and helpful. Not alone will we be returning, but we will recommend Killeshin to all our family and friends. Catherine Ryan...

by Brenn on Apr 3 2012 12:28

Stayed here for one night with my boyfriend, had a lovely stay. Staff were all very helpfull. Rooms gorgeous and not far from the town. 7 euro in a taxi each way. Meal also fantastic. Pool and jucuzzi also lovely.

by Mr. Ryan on Apr 3 2012 09:51

Great staff in a nice hotel. One of them even stung me on an April Fools gag, not funny for me at the time (hilarious for the rest of my family) but it will give you an idea of how sound they are. Nice steam room too right beside the pool. If you're staying in Portlaoise stay here.

by Liam Coghlan on Mar 25 2012 10:18

We stay at this hotel a few times each year and are always very satisfied. The room is excellent and the staff very pleasant and helpful. We can certainly recommend this hotel.

by Orla Phelan on Mar 21 2012 20:48

We had a wonderful stay at the Killeshin over the bank holiday weekend. The rooms were lovely and spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids. Food was wonderful and staff were delightful. Well done, we'll be back.

by Rya on Mar 20 2012 11:18

We'd a great stay at the Killeshin Hotel. Lovely hotel and perfect for a weekend break. Nice pool, leisure facilities and food. We got to spend a lovely day then at the nearby Emo Court. A really easy break with a little baby for anyone travelling from Dublin.

by Fran on Mar 6 2012 13:43

we just stayed in the Killeshin hotel last weekend and I have to say we were not very impressed, there were a number of things that need changing like the bed linen it seems there was stains on the duvet, bar food was only served till 7 o clock and the main dining area closed at 9.30 in the evening the bar area was freezing and not only my party but a number of other guests changed drinks they had purchased a number of times at the bar because both the Guinness and Budweiser tasted foul , five star hotel I think not

by RISA on Mar 6 2012 11:14

We stayed 2 nights availing of dinner both nights. Room was quiet, warm and comfortable. Service and food was excellent. Breakfast was good too. No complaints. Underground car park is very convenient. Hotel is nicely situated on the old Dublin Road about 2 km from the M7 motorway. Leisure facilities are very good too. Stayed here in 2011 too and will stay in this hotel again.

by Philip on Feb 28 2012 11:50

Lovely spacious rooms, really impressed with the food and the presentation. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning soon!

by KB3 on Feb 17 2012 07:50

A very nice hotel. Room was a fine size for 2 adults and 2 children with baby cot set up. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly which is so important. It makes you want to return. Couldn't be more helpful! The pool was perfect for kids, which is why we came here. Breakfast to the room is the only time I've ever had it hot to the room! It was very substantial too. Perfect both days. Only gripe: Kids had afternoon nap after swimming and you can't order a sandwich to the room on a Sunday before 4pm as they're too busy serving hot food in the bar. No mention of this on room service menu. Went to the bar to bring them up to the room. Not a chance. I went to Topaz to get us rolls!

by mark maloney on Feb 7 2012 23:01

Great hotel no complaints whatsoever very clean and bright and the staff were very friendly and efficient, swimming pool and jacuzzi were perfect to unwind in,the gym looked very modern but i was there to relax so i didnt use any of the many exercise machines,restaurant was nice the food was lovely and again staff very nice,nice big bar but yet cosy and nicely decorated,bedroom nice and spacious with everything you could want in it ,lovely breakfast next morning if you left hungry it would be your own fault, all in all 10 out of 10. will definately stay there again. mark & pauline.

by Antoinette on Feb 7 2012 20:13

I stayed in the Killeshin Hotel at the weekend with my partner and the hotel was fabulous, staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful, the room was very spacious, spotless and comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food was absolutely fabulous, and breakfast following morning was lovely with great choices. I couldnt fault this hotel in any way, our stay was very pleasant from start to finish. I would recommend it to anybody. We will definitely stay there again.

by Alan on Feb 7 2012 12:15

Hi I have just returned from an over night stay in the killeshin hotel. I pre booked 2 rooms for the special 1 nights stay with 2 course evening meal and breakfast. For the most part everything was very good. The staffs were very pleasant. The hotel rooms were very big and spacious. The health spa and gym was very clean and well maintained. There were just two small issues; the television was not working in the rooms, and the extra supplement on the meals which I do not have a major problem with mainly due to the quality of the food that was served. If I was pre-informed of the supplement on the menu it would have been more enjoyable rather than a €5 here or a €10 there as you are about to order. But I must finish by saying the quality of the food was some of the best I ever had at any Hotel. I would have no problem in recommending a stay there and I hope to return soon myself.

by susan on Jan 16 2012 18:04

lovely hotel friendly staff and the restaurant food is very good

by joan coughlan on Jan 16 2012 15:44

myself, the husband and our 2 children stayed here recently. a beautiful hotel, very friendly staff( even gave us a late checkout ) the rooms were lovely and cosy and the food in the restaurant was fab. the kids were allowed in the bar with us , so we got to enjoy a few drinks !! the pool was lovely too, dont have a bad word to say about this hotel , well worth its 4 star status . joan coughlan

by larry on Jan 11 2012 16:38

Sadly I could only stay one night,so I didn't have time to try the leisure club .Which looked great !! .We had an excellent meal in the restaurant.The room was large and spotless and very comfortable .Staff were friendly and efficient .I would this hotel to anyone .Plus value for money from hotelsonline.ie (e49 for B and B and evening meal) really tops it off

by U on Nov 30 2011 12:11

Service was excellent. Rooms lovely and very modern. Very comfortable. Staff made us feel welcome at all times. Gorgeous food in restaurant and huge choice for breakfast. Excellent overall.

We had a lovely relaxing time at the Killeshin last week. The staff were so nice and obliging. The room was clean and very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was excellent and I would definitely return again for an overnight stay.

by Donncha Conghaile on Nov 8 2011 21:27

We were very happy with the hotel. The room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The pool and surroundings were in good condition. The bar food was very good and tasty and most of all the staff were superb. They were always incredibly friendly and helpful. All in all we really enjoyed our 3 nights there

by a.blair on Nov 8 2011 17:06

Dear sir/madem, We had a great time in the Killeshin Hotel Portlaoise .The staff and service where very good. The only thing I would comment on is there was no entertainment at night in the hotel.

by Patricia on Nov 3 2011 17:37

We had a very enjoyable October Bank Holiday Week End at the Killeshin Hotel . Rooms were of a very high standard and very comfortable. Leisure facilities were excellent. Bar food was very good. We ate in restraunt on both nights and the food was excellent and staff very attentive. The only crictism we had was that the entertainment was very poor on Saturday night and there was none on Sunday night. Ken & Patricia Deirdre & Paddy

by Conlon's on Nov 1 2011 22:38

hotel very nice staff friendly food beautiful , only problem room on front second floor very noisy with passing traffic even with window shut. Excellent weekend.

by Hazel on Oct 31 2011 14:05

Excellent. Very enjoyable stay. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Room spotless, breakfast very good choice. Ample parking. Would definitely recommend & would stay here again.

Fantastic Hotel, The food was the best we ever had, the staff and service was second to none, very enjoyable weekend and Hotel is gorgeous :)

by Holly on Sep 16 2011 17:11

We had a one night stay at the killeshin on Saturday 10th September. It was a girly night away for four of us. Nicola on reception was very helpful and friendly and would be a great addition to any hotel Staff as was Diamonti the girl on reception in April when we last stayed there. The food in the dining room was excellant. Very tasty and served by very effiecient staff. Breakfast was a bit of a free for all as they were very busy and did not have enough staff to deal with all the clients. Food was good when we got it although we had to wait a few times until the platters we refilled - but it was good. The bed rooms are big and spacious and nicely decorated. We had a room on the third floor over the front door which did nothing for a good nights sleep as all the smokers gathered around there to have their cigs and chatted away to each other but kept us awake also. Maybe the smoking area should be moved? The main reason why we wont be back is the Bar staff. We had the same problem in April and found them ALL to have no manners and really we got the impression they really could not care less about their customers. We are not the only guests to notice this as I see from other reviews the same complaint. Management you need to look at what the problem is!!!! Stadff most attentive and foor very tasty and served with a smile. Breakfast was a bit

by red ber on Sep 16 2011 15:26

Hotel lovely, rooms big ,breakfast. topclass plenty of everything.Leisure center beautiful.I was very dissapointed with the evening meal,just likebar food,no potatoes and veg.no tea or coffee .waiter not nice.three star plus

by reviewer20045779 on Sep 9 2011 11:30

Loved this hotel. The staff were exceptionally helpful with information; the breakfast was beautiful and the room was lovely. Am looking forward to a return visit. Stay in this hotel!

by duffys on Aug 9 2011 13:24

Hotel very nice food very good staff very helpful only complaint is the windows could do with being double glazing you can hear every thing. cars going up and down the road all night makes it hard to sleep . you would think they were in your room.

by timcarey64 on Aug 1 2011 13:36

Most things were fine - but a few things could be improved. We booked a three-night say and asked for a quiet room. We were given one beside a busy road where traffic noise did not abate at night. We asked for a change of room; our request was courteously and efficiently handled. We cannot understand why a quiet room was not given to us in the beginning. At breakfast the plates were cold so that the breakfast items were cold by the time you reached the end of your meal. The food to our taste was very salty. We were interested in visiting the Heywood Gardens near Abbeyleix. Our guide book did not make clear when they were open. We asked Reception who told us they were closed during the school holidays. We doubted this and rang the Gardens ourselves. We were told the Gardens were open every day then until 10:00 p.m. (They are reached through a Community School and this may have caused confusion - but it would have been preferable if Reception had said they did not know rather than give us wrong information). Otherwise we were satisfied. Rooms were clean and spacious. Reception staff were courteous and check-in and out were efficient. Bar food was tasty - but too much fat and salt to be healthy.

by paul on Jul 13 2011 09:48

Staff are Brilliant!! Lady at reception was really helpful. Really nice bar food. Rooms could do with a fridge or at least an Ice Box on each Floor. Hotel could probably promote Portlaoise a bit more, there was no information booklets, There was an Irish Music Festival on and we only found out on our last night. Great hotel, nice break!

by Lev on Jul 6 2011 14:40

Lovely hotel, staff very nice and Food was Excellent will be back

by amanda on Jun 22 2011 14:47

We stayed just the one night with dinner included. The receptionist was extremely friendly. More than I can say for the bar and waiting staff. We were told orders were taken for dinner till 8.45. When we placed our order at 8.40, the staff showed their disgust. We had to eat in the bar, which was fine, but for a 4 star hotel, I felt the least that could be done, as place settings put down, rather than fire down the cutlery somewhere on the table. The breakfast was nice but still very basic for a 4 star. We had to go looking for the staff for the tea and toast. Overall, I wouldn't be recommending this hotel. I hope we just caught the staff on a off day. And from reading the other reviews, we may have.

by Five Mad Women from Bray on Jun 22 2011 07:25

We arrived on Friday evening to a very pleasant receptionist who gave us all the details we needed. Our room very spacious & comfortable. We found service in the bar rather slow although the staff were friendly enough. Staff in the restaurant were very friendly & the food was excellent. My husband asked for a second pillow at 10am on Saturday morning, had to ask again in the afternoon & again in the evening which was quite annoying. Our experience in the Killeshin was overall good but there is definately room for improvement.

by marguerite corkery/colgan on Jun 21 2011 17:30

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable but decor was dull. Food was excellent only let down by cold plates for breakfast buffet.

by Ber Lidlbreak customer on Jun 17 2011 16:13

Stayed for one night at Killeshin hotel.The food is lovely the bedroom was lovely and big.Staff friendly.One thing I would like is hot plates for my good fry.The breakfast was just fab.Will stay again.

by martin on May 31 2011 12:00

our stay was great,friendly helpful staff,unfortunately could not dine in the restaurant until 9 pm, which we found too late,but could have same meal in the bar which was excellent food, at breakfast we still could not eat in the restaurant and we had to help ourselves to the buffet in the restaurant and the retreat to eat it in the bar at a certain area,found this off putting as if the restaurant and hotel is fully booked why not try using the function rooms to cater for the busy periods?

by Lorna on May 31 2011 09:17

Hotel staff were extremly helpful. Food was lovely and overall it is fantastic value for money.

by Denise Kelly on May 17 2011 09:13

Great food, lovely staff, so friendly, nice leisure centre, we will be returning. thankyou for a lovely break

by Finbarr & Berni Maguire on Apr 28 2011 14:17

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Killeshin Hotel, which was enhanced by friendly and professional staff, the rooms are spacious and the cuisine was par excellence. Finbarr & Bernadette Maguire.

by una on Apr 27 2011 10:18

stayed easter sunday night in the hotel, the food in the bar was great value and very tasty. Kids menu was great. Breakfast was great. Would highly recommend hotel and excellent value with Lidi Breaks.

by RISA on Apr 23 2011 20:35

stayed midweek one night. room was nice, staff friendly, got late check out 2pm. bar was a bit cool with the air conditioning. dinner was nice and good value. spouse used pool, jacuzzi, steam room etc and enjoyed them. breakfast buffet was top class, the nicest cooked hotel breakfast I've had. Overall, I would definitely stay in the Killeshin again. you can get a more quiet room at back of hotel as the old dublin road is busy enough at front of hotel.

by Suzanne Behan on Apr 22 2011 10:33

The hotel is lovely and our room was really really nice, but unfortunately it was a room at the front of the hotel (family room) and as a result we were woken constantly by the traffic noise outside, at 6.45am, not a very good time to be woken at when you are on holidays :( Otherwise lovely hotel but bad location, would not recommend it for a relaxing stay or with children.

by bryan on Apr 19 2011 13:56

All in all a nice place to stay but was let down by the attitude of one of the Bar staff and his lack of enthusiasm for his job. He was very uncooperative. The restaurant staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food was lovely.

by Fiona on Apr 19 2011 10:35

My boyfriend and I stayed for a 1 night at the hotel and we had just an ok stay. The lady at reception on check in was very helpful. We had planned on eating in the restaurant that evening and it was fully booked which was disappointing. The Hotel had a wedding on, and the smoking courtyard was outside our room, it was very noisy and couldn't sleep that night for about 2/3 hours. It would have been better if they located non wedding guests on the other side of the hotel and keep the wedding guests on that side of the hotel. On the positive side the lady at reception gave us a free late check out which was good.

by brenda on Apr 19 2011 10:20

Had a lovely stay with great food. Got a room just over the smoking area & it was so loud really disappointed. Could also hear the wedding band loud & clear. Apart from that i would recommend.

by Rebecca on Apr 6 2011 18:17

Excellent service, Staff were very helpful. Food lovely. Will definitly return

by Jan on Apr 5 2011 10:41

Really enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Cannot fault the hotel, everything was perfect. My only gripe which is something so small was that the pillows were rock hard and just very uncomfortable. This is something very minor. Everything else was perfect. I would go back.

by Julie Crone on Mar 30 2011 00:00

What a wonderful hotel!!!! Clean and fresh, friendly and accomodating. Great rooms and fantastic food! We had the best fillet steak in years ( and I'm a avid cook!) for only an extra fiver suppliment. Great value would highly recommend this hotel.

by Linda kennedy on Mar 8 2011 12:54

We stayed in this hotel for 2 night B&B and two dinners. Its a really nice 4 star hotel with great food and good service. There was great variety on the set menu. The hotel is around 15 min walk to the town centre and around %u20AC5 euro in a taxi. I would definately recomend this hotel !! Great value for money !!

by Anne on Mar 3 2011 19:56

Stayed in a family room week -end 25/2/2011. Very pleased with the hotel facilities, staff very helpful and friendly with the Iidl break it was very good value for money. I hope to return for another short break soon.

by Vanessa on Mar 2 2011 18:01

We stayed in this hotel on fri 25th Feb. We had a lovely time. The hotel is really lovely. The girls on reception at check in and check out were friendly and helpful. The ambiance in this hotel is lovely. Having the lanterns in the lobby is a lovely touch. Our room was huge and it was spotless as was the bathroom. The bed was comfy and the pillows were divine and I'm very fussy when it comes to pillows. We had dinner in the restaurant, the menu we git was different to the main menu but it had a nice variety on it. The meal was nice, not amazing but it was nice, the waiters were lovley and we weren't under any pressure to finish despite the fact that we were the last people in therestaurant. We had a drink in the bar which was very relaxing.There seemed to be a nice mix of locals and residents. Breakfast next morning was lovely and set us up for the day. We would definitely return here again.

by Bernard Clohessy on Feb 5 2011 01:25

A lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. I could not fault the room or the facilities. My 2 year old son particularly enjoyed the very modern swimming pool. One of those rare hotels that lives up to it's billing. Bernard, Lucan, Co Dublin

by Sinead Coffey on Jan 25 2011 10:13

We had two rooms in this hotel on a Saturday night, the staff were very nice, the rooms comfortable and spotless (although the twin room did comprise of two single beds instead of the industry standard queen size). The leisure facilities were lovely and again spotless. The food was really tasty and we enjoyed our stay. The only negative things we experienced was the fact that they had fillet steak on the menu and brough sirloin and only when questioned did they admit there was no fillet steak. They were apologetic and did offer us the option of anything else on the menu instead and when we declined they did send over a bottle of wine on the house which was pro-active customer service. The only other small thing was that as a four star hotel it lacked the little 'extras' for example my sister needed to stitch her dress and was told they don't do sewing kits, we also did not have a shower cap in our room. Overall though it was a good experience.

by Trevor on Jan 25 2011 10:04

This is a fantastic hotel with very helpful staff. The food was superb in the restaurant also and the portions were a great size. The leisure centre was also very modern and spotless. All in all a very worth 4 star hotel and a great value break for %u20AC98 for B&B and dinner for two.

by marydoyle on Dec 2 2010 03:05

great value lovely hotel staff very helpful h ope to stay again thank you so much marydoyle

by Fiona Lenihan on Nov 23 2010 17:57

great value, amazing food. great staff, clean well appointed rooms, nice pool

by James on Nov 17 2010 21:20

I was very disappointed with this hotel. My wife and I booked this hotel for a night away and relaxing dinner with no children, only to be told on arrival the restaurant was closed and only the bar was available for food. We had booked in at this stage so deciided we'd give it a chance. Mistake on my behave, menu choice very poor and the food inedible with no satisfaction from staff. I complained when checking out only for the manager to ring me later to speak condescending to me. The only reason I gave two stars is room and breakfast was good.

by Deirdre Henchy on Nov 16 2010 13:04

Myself and my husband went there for 1 night stay. I could not fault anything about this hotel, from the minute we arrived the receptionist was very friendly and the room perfect. We were booked in for a meal also, the food was outstanding . I could not fault this hotel every member of staff were very friendly and heplful, I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Thanks again keep it up. D

by Barry on Nov 9 2010 19:55

I stayed in the Killeshin Hotel on Saturday, November 6th, 2010, with a group of 5 others. We stayed for one night, and were all very satisfied with our overnight stay! The rate was very reasonable, the hotel staff were friendly and efficient, the rooms were tastefully decorated and spotless, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We didn't have an evening meal in the hotel, but had a few drinks in the bar, and found it friendly and cheerful. There was a good crowd there, but there was no difficulty getting a place to sit. We had a beautiful breakfast the following morning, with everything freshly cooked. Some of the group enjoyed a swim in the pool the following morning. I would have no hesitation staying at this hotel again, and would heartily recommend it to all.

by Caitriona on Nov 9 2010 16:39

Had a fabulous time. The hotel staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel facilities were great. The value was fantastic. We will definitely revisit and are already planning.

by Couple of Romantics on Oct 27 2010 11:10

We really enjoyed our stay at the Killeshin - the receptionist there was very welcoming and friendly on our arrival. The room we stayed in was lovely - very spacious and clean. The reason I gave it 3 stars was the breakfast was only ok - we had to get our own tea, coffee & toast each morning and there were no tea pots available. The hot food was only ok also and there was a very average selection available with no cold meats or freshly chopped fruit platters. There was no music in the hotel bar even though it was a bank holiday weekend and we had to queue to check out as there was only one receptionist. I guess signs of the recession! Overall, however, I would stay there again.

by tony moore on Oct 18 2010 14:00

very enjoyable would love to stay there again but for a longer period

by margaret on Sep 28 2010 19:56

All good reception food and room ,all i missed was a shower cap

by Aine on Sep 21 2010 21:49

Very impressed with hotel. Had a family function in Portlaoise and several members of my family stayed in the Killeshin. Food excellent, rooms extremely clean and airy. Must compliment the lady on Reception she was so pleasant and extremely helpful and courteous. Have stayed in a few hotels over the duration of the summer and the Killeshin exceeded them all on every aspect. Only aspect I could say against hotel was pool was extremely cold - I had two young children with me and it was way too cold for them. But definitely a thumbs up for this one!

My partner and 8 month old boy had a lovely long weekend stay at the Killeshin hotel. The rooms were neat and well maintained, the staff pleasant and obliging. The breakfast was a treat, albeit with a bit of a wait on the first morning due to demand. The only quibble I'd have was with the bar food - we ate a risotto and a steak from the bar menu on one evening and found the food was just all right, nothing special for the price it carried. The steak was overdone and tough and the risotto was too laden with cream and butter. We ate out the following evening. The high point of our stay, however was the leisure centre. We really enjoyed the pool, steam room and jacuzzi and got busy pampering ourselves over the weekend. A suggestion to the Killeshin: It would presumably be an easy matter for the Killeshin to add massage therapist services to the leisure centre? We would have enjoyed a massage and a local therapist plus the hotel would have benefited from the custom.

The Killeshin in Portlaoise was similar to Roganstown Hotel i.e expensive surroundings with no heart or soul. The food was quite nice when it eventually arrived but breakfast was a fiasco with a full house from a wedding the night before. The restaurant could not cope with a full house and we were agitated and hungry as we waited in the lobby for a free table (after being kept awake the night before by the DJ who agadoo-doo-dooed till 3am.) We found the service so inept that we checked out a night early to save ourselves the stress of another %u201Crestaurant%u201D experience. The complaint was very professionally handled and we received a refund for which we were grateful.

The hotel and staff were excellent and good value for what we paid. Unfortunitly we arrived on the saturday at 2.30 in the afternoon.Our rooms were not ready until 5. 0 clock. Again we got settled , we were informed that food stopped being served at 6.45.As their was a wedding on , we were told that the weekly live music was cancelled and the only entertainment was the noise from the wedding party till 04.30 in the morning.Not great when you have a child with you. Again the staff were great and pool kept the little one happy. Dominic H.

Really enjoyed our stay i Kieshin Hote Food was delicious the only thing was that we had to wait in the reception for our breakfast for a while and when we got to the restaurant the kitchen had run out of food they said it was because they were so busy but they should have been able to cater for this as it was the long weekend so they should have known it was busy. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.
