“Lost a bit of its gloss”

4/4 found this review helpful

We have stayed in this hotel many times but have recently been informed that it has changed ownership. As it's the best hotel in the area we decided to book in anyway for the New year holiday as we have always found it to be of good quality. We made our booking by phone and requested interconnecting rooms for our children. I confirmed this by phone a few days before our arrival. When we arrived they couldn't accommodate us and would only give us 2 rooms 'nearby' to each other. It was either that or rooms on the smoking floor - not acceptable for young lungs. What could we do? The hotel was very quiet - and judging by the guests at breakfast the next morning it was very underbooked, so I think they could have made more of an effort to re-arrange their room allocation. It has definitely lost its gloss, no shortbread in the rooms anymore!! As it's the only hotel in its class in the vicinity it will continue to do well, but as a regular guest, I would have expected more of any effort on their part - as it's not cheap by any means.

“OK place to stay in the odd town of Portumna”

We stayed one night on the way through to the South West of Ireland.

We didn't use the hotels extensive facilities but the bar and restaurant were fine.

The rooms were clean and of a reasonable quality.

The hotel is very quiet and the beds were nice and firm.

Breakfast was fine - bit over cooked and lacking any TLC that you get from smaller hotels and B&B's.

Portumna didn't seem like it had much to offer - maybe this was becuase we arrived in the dark and there was fog the following morning.

“Relaxing Break away”

1/1 found this review helpful

My husband & I stayed for a 3 night midweek break. The hotel was very relaxing, staff were very helpful & friendly. The rooms were a little old fashioned but very clean. The food was excellent, we had breakfast each morning & there was plenty of choice. We found the dinner menu limited but the food was cooked to perfection, we really enjoyed it. We ate in the town the other 2 nights, and the food was excellent also. The national park is very close by and has some lovely long walks. The town itself is very charming, a two minute walk from the hotel, most pubs had nightly entertainment and the locals are very chatty.
My only complaints about the hotel would be; the beds were a little hard, but at least we left with straight backs!! and the fan in the bathroom was loud and took ages to switch off!
Overall we really enjoyed are stay and would recommend it highly, we'll definatley be back.

Facing a long drive ( with four children ) we decided to break it with a two day stop in Portumna.
I had been reccomended this hotel by friends , it did not dissappoint.
Receptionist was charming and helpful . Rooms spotless , children wanted to know why our towels at home were not as soft!
Leisure complex spotless. Hotel appears to be used a lot by very friendly , hepful local people .
Breakfast excellent , our children ( boys ) consume vast amounts of food ! It was never a problem. Playground and a pretty town added to the whole break.
We will be back.

“More Positives Than Negatives”

3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed here for three nights with my wife, son, and nephew. The fact that it slept 4 people comfortably is a plus for any good hotel in Ireland. The room on the top floor was clean, comfortable, and cool. However, the bathroom ceiling evidenced numerous leaks that were poorly repaired.
The restaurant has a small, but pleasant atmosphere and the breakfast had numerous items to offer. Dinner one night was not good. We were the first in and the last served, and the food was like leather. We were visiting friends that live in Loughrea, and they were surprised as they have only had excellent meals the times they eat here. The waiter was apologetic and removed the charge, and this may have had to do with ordering meat well done.
The area around the hotel is very pleasant for walking, and our boys loved the large pool. The lodges appear to be a good option for large families on extended stays.
