The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre in Ballina

Amazing stay that we've made into our annual tradition for our son's birthday... a very special thanks to the wonderful staff and especially the people at the breakfast area who went above and beyond to make sure we're happy... Thank you Rahman Manghal and all the other great team at The Lakeside Hotel

I had the pleasure of staying at the Lakeside Hotel, Killaloe this past weekend. I absolutely loved the experience — the hotel is beautifully set right on the banks of the River Shannon, offering stunning views not only of the majestic river itself but also of the striking Saint Flannan’s Cathedral, which truly stands out as a beacon of beauty. A special word of thanks goes to Helen Mooney, Rehman (the breakfast manager), Muireann, and Maya, whose warmth and attentiveness made my stay both memorable and welcoming. — G.B.

Food was good as always but today, we encountered a zombie waitress tending to us and a few unfortunate guests. She was unbelievably lacking in hospitality, zero aptitude, basically perfunctory and obviously not interested in service of any sorts. We had to remind her of a few things we ordered. She got us the bill, yet did not come back to collect payment so we left cash on the table and she sent the other waiter after us while we were leaving, claiming we did not pay?! Maybe she is just a temp as Lakeside staff are usually good.

Great hotel lovely service great food lovely staff

Stayed for one night with my 3 children aged from 12 to 6.Hands down one of the best hotels ive stayed in ever.From moment we arrived till we left it was just perfect.Hotel itself was fantastic but its the staff the make the experience.The pool and leisure facilities were an added bonus and it my kids all agreed that we would be definitely be back.

Lovely venue. Was there for a wedding and the staff was very friendly and professional. Huge thanks to Hugh from the staff who gave us a ride home without any qualms!
