Gleesons in Roscommon

Lovely staff here, truly. My service dog was very welcome, they had to check in the restaurant but it was no problem at all in the end. The staff was super sweet to her as well. Our room was comfortable and clean. For breakfast there's a menu to choose from. I had full irish on the first morning which was very tasty. On the second morning I had pancakes which were fluffy and not too sweet. Coffee and tea in the room which was great as well. Thanks for the lovely stay.

My first recommendation is that, if you want to book, do so directly with Gleeson's, because the price I paid through booking.com was almost twice what Gleeson's charges direct. This family-run establishment is served by really helpful and mostly friendly employees. As other reviews say, the breakfast is quite good, and I highly recommend trying their homemade scones if you have any interest. However, there are quite a few downsides. I heard every single person who walked by my door or up or down the stairs which were right by my room. I also heard everything from the rooms on either side, because it seems the walls are paper thin. Additionally, the rooms are quite dated and less in a charming way, and more in a 'wow, this is old and stained' kind of way (see pictures of chair and carpet). So, the breakfast and location are good and the staff is really nice, but the room was loud and pretty dingy. Also keep in mind that when they say 'double bed,' they mean it. As two adults used to a queen, neither got much sleep.

Gleeson's Restaurant & Rooms is an unusual cross between hotel and guest house ... but isn't quite either. Breakfast is served rather than the usual hotel self-service which I expect is more economical for Gleeson's given its size. Breakfast was great on the first morning ... went down a bit after that. Single room was fine ... but way over heat making it difficult to sleep. Leaving the window open wasn't a good idea as I seemed to be over a ground floor service door ... noisy late evening and early morning.

Lovely food, very friendly staff.

Lovely place for food, the staff were lovely and they allowed my dog to come in and even bought her water.

Had dinner, very pleasant and good service.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Gleesons. Absolutely wonderful staff. A lovely hotel with a really warm welcome. Would highly recommend if you want a relaxed atmosphere, great food and lovely surroundings
