The rooms were quiet and in excellent condition and the staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a nice bar and a restaurant in the facility. The only complaint was that the wi-fi did not work during much of our stay.
Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Large comfortable rooms. Parking was easy. Very pleasant.

The hotel was nice . Staff very friendly and really chatty. The hotel could do with a bit more space for having a drink in the evening. Overall good value for money .
Food was nice in bar restaurant.
Breakfast at best was adequate, dirty crockery & cutlery. Staff not sure which order was for which person.
Overall cleanliness needs improving.
Receptions were lovely ladies & very welcoming.
Good undercover parking.
From check in friendly service, beautiful clean spacious room. Fabulous pool, sauna & steam room. Delicious food and great service, highly recommend an overnight stay.
Excellent experience. Reception staff on arrival was very welcoming as were others. Room was excellent at a great rate. Found hotel to be very clean. One minor issue was the bar. Service maybe a bit slow even though not overly busy. Overall very satisfied and would definitely recommend and return.

Adequate for weekend / overnight stay
Hotel situated a km away from town centre. Limited parking out front but large parking out back.
Room comfortable and clean, with cot as requested.
Service in the reception and restaurants was very good.
Food tasty though some cleanliness concerns.
Leisure facilities, more so the change rooms are dated.
We had a lovely experience. As it was my birthday, a lovely box of sweets & birthday card were present in the room. Really nice touch
Quite, comfortable room. V silent corridor. Slept well. Great safe bathroom.
I stayed at Killeshin for the first time to enable me to see my family & was amazed at friendliness & professionalism of the staff, great leisure facilities with friendly staff, restaurant staff were very welcoming and friendly, reception staff very helpful- would stay there again in a heartbeat

Great food in restaurant.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff lovely, food great, swimming pool perfect for families. Unfortunately building works going on close to hotel which were heard from our room. Room decor a bit tired the throws/cushions on bed with stains but white bedding clean.
Staff were fabulous and very helpful. Hotel is fine and very clean, if becoming a little tired. Mattress was comfy if a bit flat on one side. I'd go back in a pinch or for work.
Food was great!
Leisure centre was great! And the food choices were brilliant, catered really well for non dairy and gluten free diet for dinner and breakfast.
The staff could not be nicer!
An issue arose while dining in the bar but it was quickly resolved.
Warra ts a return visit.
My only gripe is the carpet in the bedroom, looks like someone spilt bleach in different spots. And no need for the brown throw
Our room at the Killeshin was very clean with nice amenities. Check in was quick and easy and the staff was very friendly. There were no electrical receptacles bedside for my CPAP machine but staff quickly provided me with an extension cord. We purchased the made to order breakfast @ 11 Euros which was well worth the money.
