The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

25/02/2026: Food was excellent and service was very good. Enjoyed the evening

25/02/2026: Website menu and prices outdated, waitress bored and incompetent, food on menu didnt match food received, complaint not acknowledged and no solution given. No manager for the whole night to speak to. Wouldn't visit again.

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.

11/11/2025: Excellent place for food and the service is brilliant 👏

19/10/2025: Best peices in town. Very clean and friendly staff.

02/03/2026: Great staff. Had gorgeous room with bath under a skylight. Perfect place to stay when attending any event at the Arts Centre just down the street.

09/02/2026: I rang today to book accommodation for two work colleagues. Rather than speaking directly with the hotel, I was routed to a call centre where the agent struggled to pronounce the town and county names. When I explained that the price (€225 per person per room for B&B) was higher than I was looking to pay and tried to politely say goodbye, the response became quite pushy, with repeated sales tactics and even a claim that no other rooms were available in Ballina within a 15-mile radius. This was clearly inaccurate — there were plenty of rooms available, and I booked my colleagues into the Twin Trees Hotel for €99 per person per room for B&B, where a friendly local staff member handled everything quickly and professionally. If this is the experience offered to potential customers, it’s disappointing. High-pressure “last room available” tactics are ineffective and off-putting. We were not stuck for accommodation, and even if those truly had been the final rooms in Ballina, we would have chosen to stay in another town. This experience fell well below expectations.
