Tuscany Bistro in Ballina

31/05/2026: Lovely staff and beautiful location

28/05/2026: We had an excellent stay here at the Lakeside Hotel. Unfortunately due to a storm and subsequent power cut, the hotel were having an IT issue and couldn’t check us in immediately. Staff on the desk were very apologetic, and we were offered free drinks while we waited. Due to the delay, we were offered a free upgrade of room. I mostly say this to outline how the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was not affected by an IT issue that was no fault of their own. On top of that, the hotel has gorgeous facilities, lovely rooms, and breakfast was perfect, with everything you could want. I wouldn’t think twice to stay here again. 5/5 stars!
