Managment /staff very helpfull provided breakfast at 7oclock on Sunday morning as we were travelling to dublin. Would highly recommend the gateway to friends .

Noel, United Kingdom

It was very clean and the staff was very good and made you very welcome

Rory, Ireland

The room was fine however there was 2 of us and there was not enough towels just enough for one. The shower was awful as I could not figure out how to turn it on and when I did it took 20 minutes to turn it off and water went everywhere. They did not give enough toilet paper as my mum was sick and they only gave one roll when they should have gave 2. They advertised WiFi but there was none. The bacon was so fatty. I tried dinner on Sunday the food was piled on thank goodness when I went another day I asked for no tartar sauce and we asked for hardly any chips they did not listen and blamed someone else that did not take the order

Bernadette, United Kingdom

Staff were very friendly, room was nice and spacious very clean, overall a good hotel,

Stayed for 1 night (Tuesday 2nd April ) selected this Hotel due to the location as Knock Airport 4 miles. On arrival my Husband & I received a very warm welcome from Sean. Room very clean and comfortable. We had an evening meal in the bar which was excellent. The young lady who was on duty in the bar/restaurant was so friendly, professional and efficient.

This is a great hotel right on the main street in the centre of Swinford. The staff were friendly and helpful and the beds really comfortable. The full Irish breakfast is enough to keep you going all day! There are also some great little pubs within a couple of minutes walk.
