The Killeshin Hotel Portlaoise

Location: The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for visiting nearby attractions. It's a bit out of town, but the walk is enjoyable and offers access to areas like Kildare Village.

Very noisey at night with loud music from 9pm until after 2am. Child could not get to sleep and an early start next morning. Pool and chamging facilitoes need upgrading.

A well located hotel, in close proximity to the town, with ample free parking. Our dinner was of a good standard. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. The rooms are spacious, with adequate storage, and a decent sized shower/toilet. We found everything to be clean and our bed was comfortable. All good so far. The disappointment is the breakfast. The food itself wasn't too bad, our complaint is regarding the service and the system. Firstly, they do sittings. Now that's new to me, I've never had to book a half hour window for breakfast. Initially I wondered if this might ehance our experience, assuming it meant the restaurant would be prepared for the numbers. Therefore the food stations would be fully stocked and there would be sufficient servers to make our dining experience positive. Not so. When you arrive at your designated time you are pretty much ignored as the staff continue to clear tables, and reset for what looks to be for lunch. Eventually someone shows you to a table. On both mornings we were chaperoned to a table that wasn't reset for breakfast. So we'd no menu. One cup but 2 guests. No butter or milk. The food stations were not replenished, no pancakes nor brown bread, no croissants or yogurt, no cereal bowls. The fruit salad consisted only of apple. There were no side plates, and no-one came to take a tea/ coffee or toast order. We had to go ask. Your system doesn’t works guys. We've had better in fast food outlets.
