The Killeshin Hotel in Portlaoise

Very friendly staff and easy check-in. But I must make mention that the rooms have no recycling bins. Which means the hotel is not recycling its rubbish. For a hotel to be tossing everything into landfill in this day and age is a disgrace. We are all making more effort and they should too.

My partner and I had our second child recently but needed to be admitted to Portlaoise Hospital for Post-Op checks and tests. Now, my partner is breast feeding, stressed and unwell. Add onto that the horrible food in hospitals and you can imagine how we’re getting on. Then the Killeshin jumps in. My partner asked to order something from there to go as it’s the healthiest and most nutritious option, which I know they don’t do and I told her we’ll try something else. I rang anyway, explained the situation and within 2 minutes, they agreed without any hesitation. I was even told that they’d hold off on making it until I got there to make sure it was as fresh as possible. Arrived, waited 5 minutes and was handed a to-go box with a mountain of food AND a side we didn’t request. Went to pay, and you know what happened next. They refused point blank! The lady on the front desk was phenomenal and the server managed to lighten the mood for a new father who was on edge over his partner being unwell. Owners of Killeshin Hotel. If & when you see this. Please note that your staff are amazing, kind, understanding and just down right decent people. Amazing work. Scott, Olivia & Baby Ivy.

Great location. Friendly, accommodating staff and fantastic food.

Everything from the rooms to the food was a great experience.

Food is excellent was only there for a confirmation dinner

Lovely hotel, clean rooms, friendly service however the service in the bar could be better

We had afternoon tea here celebrating a student off on her J1. Tea and coffee were plentiful, food was delicious and again plentiful. They catered for vegans and gluten free people.

Everything is neat and clean, except for the carpets in the rooms! That's obviously very unsightly!

Had a lovely hotel stay! delicious breakfast in the mornings with very helpful staff, rooms were very clean and nice with great facilities. Natalia at the front desk was fantastic!

Great food, great service. Room was large and comfortable..
