The Killeshin Hotel

The Killeshin Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is nice with two places to eat, an outdoor seating area, and a couple of floors with rooms. I had a room above the main entrance and while it was comfy, there was absolutely no noise prevention with either the window or the door. I could hear everything. There's a tag that offers ear plugs, but I'd rather see them invest in better sound proofing. The bed was firm, which I enjoyed. It's close to some food options as well in the area. I can't speak to the food options in the hotel as I didnt eat there. Overall comfy, but the noise was noticeable. Staff is very friendly."

"Spent a one night girlie break at this hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the bar staff taking our orders from our seats etc. Surrounding area beautiful for a stroll. Bar food and restaurant food excellent. Rooms very spacious with everything you need. Only criticism, that we all had, was the lighting in the rooms and bathrooms. If you are planning on applying makeup be sure to bring a hand mirror and/or a light. But this won’t ruin anyone’s stay in this lovely hotel I’m sure 🤗"
