Went last weekend with my husband, 2 year old son and family friends. Family size room was perfect and also opened up the door between the 2 rooms, balcony's also very suitable for children. Play centre attached to hotel which was ideal when weather got bad. Only downside was the restaurant service. Our deal was for 2 nights B&B & 1 evening meal. Restaurant did not open until 6.30 so we took the first booking however children's meals come from the bar rather then the restaurant and because it was so busy it took over an hour to get them. Adults were finished their starters and half way through the main meal by the time the kids came.... needless to say they were not happy .... apart from that I woul highly recommend the hotel and would definitely go back!!!!

by John on May 9 2012 14:26

Excellent weekend break, fantastic hotel but credit should go to the staff, two weddings during our stay, their attention to detail was exceptional, book the Lough Rea, food and staff just what the doctor ordered.

by Claire on May 9 2012 11:00

The hotel was lovely. The staff very friendly. A very enjoyable weekend. A great spot to base yourself to see the country. A visit to Woodville House Walled Garden is highly recommended.

by Sheila on Apr 11 2012 21:08

Very comfortable bedrooms, nice breakfast & bar food menu, we stayed Paddy weekend & this was a good location to surrounding areas that we were visiting. Staff were pleasant & helpful. Great value in the Spa also.

by dk on Mar 27 2012 12:00

lovely room good value

by reviewer63590764 on Mar 20 2012 15:03

A GREAT CHOICE, EVERY ASPECT OF THE HOTEL WAS JUST FAB, ROOMS/BAR/FOOD. COULDNT HAVE BEEN BETTER. WE WILL BE BACK.

by Jason Murphy on Mar 14 2012 18:00

I couldn't speak highly enough of my stay here. The staff were both extremely friendly and helpful, the room was lovely, the bed was amazing and the food was fantastic. The only negative is that there wasn't enough vegetarian options on the menu. All said and done, I'll definitely be staying here again.

by Mark on Feb 22 2012 16:55

Excellent hotel, room was lovely, food was amazing the beef was to die for, only one little issue, noise from the nightclub, didnt get to sleep till 4am due to people singing outside and below us in the hotel. Staff were excellent, particularly the restaurant manager, he was very accommodating and excellent manners.

by Marianne on Feb 21 2012 19:17

Very nice and comfortable hotel and fabulous spa. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

by bob on Feb 17 2012 11:08

Very nice spacious rooms with modern design, very clean. Staff was great, although food was not for a 4 star rated hotel. I would not agree with the description of website hotel's location. Before overlooking the ''majestic'' Loughrea Lake, your view is cought by a less ''majestic'' 1 acre of empty landfield with ''majestic'' debris. Well, hotel is situated at the edge of town after all.

by Dewey on Feb 14 2012 13:39

lovely hotel ,staff friendly,beds very comfortable , athmosphers in bar great. was overcharged for dinner and didnt realise till i got home would still go back and bring kids next time playcentre looks great.

by caroline odoherty on Dec 6 2011 18:04

fantastic hotel could not fault a thing we went for my sisters 40th birthday there was 21 of us the meal was fantastic , so where the staff , and the rooms were georgous and the bar never closes fab nt will def be back thanks a million caroline ODoherty

by gabriel mccann on Nov 1 2011 14:41

staff in restaurant need better training.trying their best but need to be told how to do their job.waited too long for our childs dinner to arrive.bottle of white wine we ordered was not chilled.all theses things just make the dinner experience bad.

by kathy on Nov 1 2011 09:25

Nice airy room with comfortable beds. Hair dryer wasnt working but one phone call to reception and a replacement was brought to the room within minutes! Bar food was good, staff friendly. Signage to the hotel is poor though, hotel coordinates would be handy!! Requested them by email prior to travelling but recieved no response.

by Sinead O Brien on Sep 1 2011 19:50

Myself, my husband and 2 children stayed for 3 nights mid August. The beds were very very comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful but for a 4 star hotel the breakfast was not up to a 4 star hotel standard they were very plain indeed.

by Gerry on Aug 23 2011 15:00

It is a lovely hotel, family friendly, good location and lovely food. I hadnt time to try the spa but it looked lovely. Good facilities in the room, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, tea, coffee and air conditioning. Lovely big comfortable beds. Good value

by Tom Porter on Aug 19 2011 14:12

I booked in four Australian friends for 2 nights from 12th August. The Hotel did not let Ireland down and they were very happy with their stay in the hotel during part of their country tour. Thank you.

by Gary on Aug 12 2011 12:25

Great manager, great service, great food!!

by Aoife on Jul 26 2011 18:24

this hotel is definitely a three star hotel. The fire alarm went off during the night and when I flagged it at reception she denied any knowledge of it. There was also a shower cap covering the smoke alarm in the room, obviously the previous guest was a smoker. Shocked that the cleaner didn't see this. My mother had called one days previous to my arrival to put a gift in the room. There was no gift in our room and when my mother called the hotel, again, she had no knowledge of it. Some serious lack of communication going on here. The spa was nice except for some broken spa chairs and doors unhinged from cabinets. Hotel in need of some attention. Probably would not come back to this hotel.

by A Ryan on Jul 7 2011 22:27

Very nice hotel and staff were friendly. Breakfast very basic for a 4 star I thought but think it was just because hotel seemed quiet when we stayed, did not sample bar food. Kids place next door was closed Monday and Tuesday unfortunately when we stayed there but they did get an hour on the morning we left and they really enjoyed it. Think it is open all summer from now on.

by robert on Jun 21 2011 15:01

had a lovely stay, hotel was lovely staff very nice. The only problem was a disco on the sat night and family rooms are situated over the disco area which was very loud, luckily kids slept but it was at least three o clock when the place quietened down. great value for money

by Martina Kelly on Jun 21 2011 09:03

We had a lovely stay....All the staff were very friendly. Rooms lovely. We requested two rooms and they gave us interconnecting rooms which was great.....would definitely return..

by Polly on May 31 2011 19:08

We stayed here last weekend for 2 nights. I really couldn't fault the hotel in anyway. The service was great, food was lovely and the Spa was a great place to spend a lazy afternoon. We would definitely return.

by Joanna/Jo on May 25 2011 17:35

Had relaxing weekend away with my mother, used Spa which was lovely, good meal in bar. Friendly staff in bar & wait staff very helpful. Breakfast could use a little effort, not a 4 * breakfast, Lovely room. Comfortable bed etc. Good atmosphere in bar as Heinekin Rugby final was on.

by siobhan coleman on May 25 2011 07:33

we had a great time, staff were very friendly, great value for money cant wait to go again

by Roscommon on Apr 27 2011 20:19

We booked a family room on this deal on a "spur of the moment " decision and rang the hotel so ensure our booking had gone through. We can only say we have a wonderful stay and the room was absolutely spotless. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was beautiful and great healthy options for the kids. The buffet breakfast the next morning was very generous and tasty and we checked out feeling full and ready for our day. The staff were all very friendly and you really couldnt ask for more from a hotel . Well done Loughrea hotel and spa. 10/10 .

by greta on Apr 26 2011 16:20

We enjoyed our stay ,good value for money. We would rate it a four star.Weather was also in our favour.

by grace on Apr 23 2011 23:39

I booked this hotel for myself and my boyfriend as a gift for after his exams. The hotel was extremely impressive from the outside. The hotel was extremely busy when we arrived as their was a party on. The room was lovely with a nice comfy bed.When I went to the restaurant for the meal included they told me the restaurant was closed so we had to go to the bar. The bar was completely full there was one table left with only one chair in which I had to stand for someone to get us another. In regrads to the actual menu it was very limited. The bar was absolutely packed with our table being in the middle of a 30th party in which we were trying to eat a dinner. A DJ also started playing while we were eating. When I went back to the room at 12:00am we could hear the music from the bar in which we thought was closed at 12:30am. At 1:00am the floor was actually vibrating I called reception to ask if the music would be over soon and the porter told us that It was a club and would be on to 2:30am. We had to ask to move rooms. The night porter was helpful enough to bring us to another room on the other side of the hotel but I basically had to pack my stuff at 1:00am. I have to say the only thing which was great was the spa the staff were so professional and the treatments were great. I defineatly needed it after that night. If you do go and you want some sleep ask for a quiet room.

by Hannah on Apr 23 2011 09:56

Hi Everyone @Loughrea Hotel & Spa. I have to say we were looking forward to our secod visit to your hotel and have to say your rooms ,food and friendly staff made our stay very enjoyable. But on the Saturday night we got no sleep, after the Dicso people sat on the seats right under our room and were having a ball untill well after 6am so that was the only downer for us. Sincerely Hannah

by Jean on Apr 18 2011 12:55

April 15th 2011: Enjoyed the stay, staff friendly and helpful, evening meal very good, beautiful spa-worth treating yourself, for couples check out the Rasul Treatment. A range of entertainment Friday night with ballads in the bar (young chap with guitar, good singer) Bagatelle and U2 band in function room. Unfortunaely seemed a lot of local lads (a bit the worse for wear) could come and go as they liked which was a bit messy. Nicer crowd in the bar.

by Lorna on Apr 15 2011 20:20

We had a great time. Our only complaint was that when we went for our dinner we were given a menu with only one starter, one dessert and two main courses on it. When I pointed out to the staff that we thought we should have at least a choice of three items in each category ie starter, main course and dessert ,a different menu was produced and the staff were very helpful. However I don't think this should have happened and i would love to know is this menu presented to everyone and the second only to those who complain. Other than that the break was great and the food was excellen

by THROD on Apr 15 2011 20:07

absolutely beautiful hotel, staff were lovely and friendly, nightclub in hotel on saturday nights, food was delicious and more than presentable.no glasses in the room and no wine opener which was suprising for a hotel. not near much nightlife great for couples who would like a nice quiet weekend together but a bit quiet for party goers.

by Johnlittle on Apr 12 2011 19:36

Overall a very good relaxing break, which is what Anne and I were after. The room was nice clean and spacious. Pity the restaurant was not open and we ate at the bar. The food however was excellent. Location was handy to town, pity there were no water front cafes or bars in town. The Hotel staff were friendly and professional, would stay there again.

by annette on Apr 12 2011 13:29

Nice hotel, just far enough out of town. Room very comfortable with good bathroom. Bar excellent with great food. Very friendly staff. Would definately recommend.

by Dee on Mar 8 2011 12:27

We all had a great night away. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Great value break.

by Deena on Feb 28 2011 20:14

Thoroughly enjoyed our hotel stay! Kids had a ball in the play town kids area. The hotel is spotless, room was big and beautiful. Georgous bathroom. Had dinner in the Lir bar which was lovely, food was great. All in all, a beautiful stay with friendly staff. Only downside, no swimming pool which would have been nice for the kids!

by elaine on Feb 23 2011 22:42

We had a lovely stay- 2 nights b&b and 1 dinner. Its a lovely hotel, very friendly staff, (this is our second time to stay). We were a little disappointed that the restaurant was closed due to a private function. we had to have our meal in the bar, although the food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was very helpful and friendly, we would not choose to eat in the bar with three televisions on the spa is lovely and the staff are very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most likely return again!

by Fange on Feb 15 2011 19:57

Over all we were pleased with our stay and thought it very good value. However we thought it a reasonable 3 Star Hotel (Definitely not 4 star). The Foyer, Bar and Restaurant areas all a bit Clinical. No linen or tablecloths used in Dining-room, but the food was good. The Bedrooms were very good and the staff overall very efficient and friendly. The Spa treatment were good with staff particularly helpful, only disappointment. the footspa not working

by Clodagh on Feb 8 2011 22:45

Stayed in Loughrea Hotel and Spa, it was really enjoyable, great hotel, great food, staff, and really great price.!

by Aidan on Jan 26 2011 11:15

We stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely relaxed weekend. Staff were vere friendly and helpful. We went to the Spa for a treat and although the jacuzzi and experience showers were out of order, we made the most of the rest of the thermal suite. Overall, we'd recommend this hotel.

by sheli27 on Nov 30 2010 23:23

hotel is amazing and the rooms are the nicest 4 star i have ever stayed in.our room was very cold and manager moved us because air con was not working it was - 4 outside, he was extremely nice. Our meal was lovely and great value for money.We chose the pamper package but spa was disappointing as three things were not working jacuzzi,solarium and the massage shower the foot spas have no jets but our treatments were excellent it would have been top marks if all things in spa were working that day lovely place to go will go again

by Kate on Oct 28 2010 18:41

My husband and I stayed for two nights. Lovely staff and the room was very good. Loved the bed, but poor lighting by the wardrobe and the safe did not work. It was not sorted even when I reported it, although to be fair I had said it was not urgent. The restaurant was not open on either night but food and service in the bar was very good. I was disappointed that even though we rang in advance I was unable to be fitted in for any treatments, which took away from the break slightly. We thoroughly enjoyed walking by the Lough and in spite of the lack of spa treatments we had a relaxed break. If we were to go back I would make sure they could fit me in for a spa treatment first!!

by Jonny on Oct 19 2010 12:51

Just stayed for one night. Not a great 1st impression. Only every 3rd or 4th light was lit in the hallways, so we found it difficult to actually even see our room number. Inside the room was no better, with no main light or lights over the mirrors my wife was not able to do her makeup. The noise from the club could clearly be heard despite our room being on the other side of the building. The breakfast was burnt and the self serve area was a mess. The coffee was burnt and the tea was poor. The rooms are of a good finish, but the incredibly poor lighting and food really lets it down. Would try and avoid staying there again.

by Emer on Oct 18 2010 20:15

Reception attended to us well on arrival and advised that although dinner was served anytime from 6:30pm that it was best to reserve a dinner time to ensure a table at time required. We reserved for 7pm but when we arrived down for 7pm , staff said we had reserved for 730pm - we know there was a wedding on and expect they were not ready to attend to us until 7:30pm, but better if were told 730 was earliest at check-in. Room and double bed really nice. Dinner was good. Bar staff especially nice bar lady - very helpful. Breakfast very poor - terrible rashers. The fruit salad was just plain apple slices and terrible. Little choice unless you went for the normal bacon, egg and sausage.

by Maura on Oct 11 2010 18:24

Staff excellent and very friendly. Food was lovely. Room spacious bright and airy very clean. Breakfeast was piping hot. They make a perfect pot of hot tea. overall can not fault it excellent value for money.

by Madeleine on Sep 19 2010 14:10

Myself and my husband had a wonderful stay at Loughrea Hotel. The room was beautiful, clean and warm. The staff were very friendly and the receptionist was very informative and welcoming upon our arrival. We adored our time in the Therapy rooms and Melissa was very approachable and knowledgeable about the health benefits . We definitly will recommend the hotel to our friends, and look forward to re-visiting again sometime.

by Simo on Sep 16 2010 10:10

ONLY WENT DOWN FOR ONE NIGHT BBD. EXCELLENT HOTEL. ROOMS REALLY NICE AND CLEAN. WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.

by Margaret Smith on Aug 30 2010 12:49

We stayed in the Loughrea Hotel for 3 days - loved the spa - the staff were very friendly and helpful - would definitely revisit

by patricia doyle on Aug 17 2010 18:50

Just returned from a very enjoyable two night stay at the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa. Staff were very helpful and friendly and rooms were most comfortable. We had the evening meal included with our deal and it was excellent on both nights. Would recommend this hotel. Only minus was the light in the bathroom....not good for the face paint!!!!

by Carol on Aug 15 2010 10:43

On arrival at the Loughrea Hotel my Husband and I checked in but when we went to our room it still wasn't ready, we were told to come back in ten minutes, a bit inconvenient. When I made my original booking I requested a quiet room, the hotel has a nightclub which we weren't aware of, it went on until 3am. Our room was directly over the reception area so we then had to listen to the chit chatter of everyone waiting for taxi's and buses home, so no sleep the first night. Our second night was fine, no nightclub. The following morning I treated myself to a Spa treatment, the staff and Spa area were lovely, I would definitely recommend it. Breakfast and dinner were fine and the staff were all friendly and accommodating . The Loughrea is a modern and comfortable hotel, its very convenient for sightseeing the local attractions.

by pat on Aug 11 2010 16:10

Really nice hotel. Rooms very very nice. Drawbacks = arrived on sunday afternoon at the hotel enquired about using the Spa area to relax, but was informed by reception that it closed at 3pm on Sunday, which i feel is silly as this is a selling point of the hotel., also since dinner was included in the booking asked about the restaurant and again was informed Restaurant was closed. Food was served in the hotel bar and this was a very good meal, But as a hotel trying to sell itself it didnt do it for me and wouldnt go back, Not a lot to offer

by catherine on Aug 9 2010 15:11

the hotel was fabulous. the food was divine. the spa treatment was second to none. thoroughly enjoyed the stay. will go back again

by Aine and Mark Shanahan on Aug 1 2010 15:05

we have just come back from staying in the hotel, everything first class, food, accommodation staff, great value for money. excellent spa treatments, highly recommend aine and mark - limerick july 2010

by C. Moylan on Jul 14 2010 17:05

We had a very enjoyable stay in this hotel, staff very friendly and willing to assist, food excellent, rooms nice and overall i would definately recommend this hotel if you want to get away for a nice relaxing break. Will definately be returning.

by Anthony Purcell on Jul 13 2010 19:11

excellent hotel couldnt fault the staff v friendly but needs a smimming pool. Would stay there again no problem...

by Patrick on Jul 8 2010 07:06

The hotel was very nice with friendly staff and good food. The bar was also well layed out and the entertainment was also good. We would recommend this hotel for a quite weekend away and it is also a short drive from Galway.

by Linda on Jul 6 2010 11:13

Really nice modern hotel, very friendly staff, really good food and gorgeous spa. Would highly recommend it!

by Barbara on Jun 30 2010 17:57

I thought the hotel was nice but not particularly luxurious, very clean and the staff were excellent, friendly & helpful. My favourite bit was the entertainment both nights in the bar, excellent music and a great atmosphere. Least favourite bit was the restaurant, the design was a bit strange and it felt more like a lobby than an actual restaurant. Dinner was ok but the breakfasts were pretty poor, lukewarm greasy food left sitting in a buffet. Excellent location, only took us 1hr 40 mins to get from Dublin.

by elaine on Jun 29 2010 23:57

We stayed for 2 nights. Really enjoyed the break away, very modern hotel, very luxurious family bedroom, large ensuite. lovely balcony. restaurant is very nice, food was delicious, very small portions though and no potatoes came with the main courses!!! The spa is really nice, well worth a visit. very friendly staff.

by karol on Jun 29 2010 23:19

Hotel was nice, but dinner in the hotel was not. Like a cavery lunch and not a meal in a basic resturant, so for a resturant in a 4* hotel this was really poor. Overall ok value for money but would have expected better dinner

by microsquid on Jun 29 2010 22:37

Beautiful hotel and very helpful staff - spa was also wonderful. Highly recommended - even our baby daughter approved :)

by Berni Brennan on Jun 29 2010 21:57

enjoyed our stay the staff very helpful and friendly the food good, rooms very comfortable did'nt avail of the spa but had a look around looked excellent again staff very helpful there

by Ann on Jun 29 2010 21:41

Enjoyed stay at this hotel.Staff very friendly & helpful.Room excellent with fab decor.Had treatments in spa which were excellent.One small complaint was ordered a bottle of sparkling wine at dinnner & it wasn't chilled which I thought unusual for a hotel of this standard.

by Maree McGlynn on Jun 29 2010 18:43

My husband, two children and I stayed for two nights in the family room in the Loughrea Hotel and Spa and I must say I was more than pleasantly surprised. The room was large, spacious and beautifullly decorated. The beds were very comfortable ensuring a good nights sleep and overall the facilities were such that children are very well looked after -definitely worth a return visit!
