The Junction
Ballina
10/10/2026: We ordered Bacon, Liver, Onions, Peas, Mash and Gravy.
We got Bacon, Liver, Carrots, Swede (Turnip) and, eventually, Mash.
Everything was lovely except the overcooked and leathery liver.
01/10/2026: *4 stars – almost everything is perfect here!*
We had a truly wonderful stay. The service is simply outstanding – very friendly, attentive, and quick without being intrusive. You immediately feel welcome and well taken care of.
The food was fantastic: The fish and chips were incredibly delicious, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, served with fresh fries and a tasty coleslaw. Highly recommended!
The coffee was also excellent. I had an Americano, which was really strong and aromatic, exactly how I like it and not watered down like so often elsewhere.
But the absolute highlight was dessert: The apple pie with vanilla sauce and vanilla ice cream was incredibly delicious! Warm, moist, not too sweet, and simply divine in combination with the ice cream.
The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and inviting. The only slight drawback is that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours. Otherwise, the value for money is excellent. We will definitely be back!

Merry Monk
Ballina
10/08/2026: Basic room, but had everything needed. Staff was very responsive. Breakfast was awesome. Irish breakfast is big enough for two. Lively pub with lots of local patrons. Would be a great place for those looking for a pint of Guinness after a day of travel.
13/07/2026: First class in every way, food, drink hospitality and friendly brilliant. An example of a good establishment.

Ridgepool Restaurant
Ballina
19/06/2026: Very helpful and friendly staff. Food was excellent. Rooms spacious and very well equipped. All in all Great. 🏆.
08/04/2026: Old tired bathroom with grout missing from tiles in major need of a refurbishment. Never a 4 star hotel. Bedroom also old fashioned. Whole place needs modernisation.
Update, the hotel apologised and said I should not have been in room 212 as it should have been closed for renovations. The hotel kindly offered a full refund. I will update score after I stay in another room.
Update
Room 209, bathroom brand new
