Shearwater Hotel in Ballinasloe

The bathroom smelled of wee. Architrave was rotting around the bathroom door. There was a box of quality street open clearly for some time in the room on arrival, with open packaging and chocolate laying around inside. The beds were clean and fine. The breakfast was poor. The puddings were incredibly dry and overcooked. The pool lighting was half on, going there after dark the pool was very dark and drab. Dinner there was largely ok..starters soup was very nice, as was dessert Mains was meh. But the staff there were friendly. Needless to say I won't be going there again, not recommending to anyone. 3 stars purely based on an ok dinner and friendly staff all round

Really lovely staff, room spotless lovely and clean, lamb shank in bar yum, worth ordering

We had a meal for a large family group, and everything was delicious, the service was good, and everyone was very happy with their meal. The desert medley was gorgeous. Parking was so handy, location was great for walking to shops and things in town, the beds were comfy, and the showers lovely with nice hot water. We stayed for two nights, and the only thing I would say that could be improved is the charging options in the room were not the best. The electrical outlets were often behind pieces of furniture that had to be moved to gain access.

I just got dinner & drinks here, and it was so so nice! The guys at the bar were so friendly and helpful. I got the chicken supreme, and the sauce they put on it was Devine. 👏🏻

Was there for a wedding overnight stay this place is amazing food atmosphere staff all are amazing

Really enjoyed staying here. Accessible room outstanding. Food was delicious and staff couldn't do enough

Nice hotel! Nothing is missing!

I was a guest with a tour group. Rooms all clean and technically ok. The bar at the restaurant is also very attractive with plenty of choice. Breakfast was also good for me (Irish breakfast). Gladly again

We stayed with half board. The dinner offer is poor poor. There is no bread or cake in the morning. However, it is in a good location, everything can be reached with a short walk.

I had the pleasure of organising a celebration in The Shearwater hotel recently. The function was for over 450 people and we only had 3 weeks notice. From day one on approaching the Events Manager Estella we knew everything would be okay as she was so professional and helpful to us, giving us advice and direction on room layout, menus etc. No matter what we asked for, she obliged. On the day if the event we were greeted by the manager and shown the wonderful room layout, with top table beautifully decorated as were all tables with candelabras and cherry blossom. They had also hung our banner as a backdrop We also had menus and reserved tables as requested. The Hotel put up the most wonderful meal to all persons attending, covering everyone's dietary needs. The staff were very warm and helpful and the service was super efficient with such a large numbers. Everyone who attended from near and far were full of praise for the Hotel and thought we are so lucky to have such facilities near by. I would highly recommend the Shearwater for any function you may be planning.
