Hogan's Bar, Ballina in Ballina

15/03/2026: Myself and my husband had been waiting ages to try this hotel and spa and to be honest, it's not really worth the hype. The spa was amazing, I'd come back to the spa, we got couples treatments and it was absolutely worth the money, we thoroughly enjoyed the spa. I feel like the rest of the hotel relies on the spa and the river views. The room was 320 euro on a Friday, it was a "deluxe" room.. it was pretty basic and you could hear snoring and coughing from neighbouring rooms. The food was good but again, overpriced for what it was and the side of veg and bread was extra. Staff were lovely and accommodating.

02/03/2026: I popped in for breakfast. Definitely the best breakfast in Ballina. Fantastic views of the River Moy and friendly staff.
