No lift so elderly people were struggling with the stairs from reception and getting help from other guests with their luggage if they were lucky. I realised afterwards I'd not offered to help an old couple with their luggage as they stood aside for me at the top of the stairs so I didn't like myself for that, someone else offered before I thought of it. The leisure facility lockers weren't lockable - that's a concern so I put my valuables in a bag poolside.

The breakfast was very good, bit a holiday highlight in fact, good variety of foodstuffs, ordering speciality eggs, florentine and salmon for me, and the buffet full Irish alongside. I was pleased with the leisure facilities; the gym, the only one in Killaloe, is not super polished but is better than average for a hotel for weightlifting equipment, free weights, bars benches and exercise space - enough to keep the local gym goers happy who were the primary users of it. Also decent running machines, a bike or two, and a couple of Concept 2 rowing machines for the cardio folks. The sauna and steam room were great - fortunately they were recently back working again after being out of action for some weeks or months apparently. The pool slide was fun, surprisingly quick. As a swimmer I had no pool safety concerns; I was curious about the deep end depth when chatting to a local in the steam room before using it - 1.5m was clearly signed as expected so the tragic incident a few days later probably wasn't related to that.

Would be good to have electric charging points in car park

Great hotel, facilities, breakfast and the view from the spacious lakeside rooms. Would definitely recommend.

Bathroom. It took up to 5 min for the hot water to arrive. This is ok but advance notice of this feature would have helped and avoided a cold shower the first day

Fantastic location. Classy atmosphere. Good service. We had a Lakeside Room, which was very spacious, but next time, I fancy the waterfront rooms for the ultimate experience. Loved the bar/dining area fronting the lake.

The rooms were adequate but as with any twin roomed hotel and two single beds you inevitable dont have the space that an apartment provides so make sure you take snoring into account!

The staff were very attentive, breakfast and dinner was standard, we arrived in for a low season break so did not get close to experience what Killaloe has to offer in the peak summer period. Still a beautiful area to visit at any time of the year.

We stayed in the waterfront superior rooms. I have to say we were blown away by how nice they were. Stunning decor, comfortable, huge & a beautiful view of the Shannon. The hotel itself if veg comfortable. And the staff friendly & kind

Great leisure centre, the pool and saunas are very relaxing. Attentive and courteous staff that make you feel at home. The hotel pub has an upper-class vibe with good quality food at very reasonable prices. All in all, it was a superb experience!

We went during Easter Midterm. The children received Easter eggs on arrival. They were thrilled. The hotel itself was in an excellent location. Views were amazing. Breakfast and dinner delicious. Swimming pool great fun, it has a twisty slide! Our room was quite spacious for 4 people. Highly recommend.

The breakfast offered was delightful, featuring a full Irish breakfast along with an assortment of cheese, fruits, fruit salads, cereals, and yogurts. The overall experience was very pleasant, characterized by high standards that greatly contributed to our enjoyable stay. For future enhancement, we suggest incorporating more local produce into the menu. Options could include local jams, cheeses, salmon or trout, and perhaps desserts like apple, rhubarb, or pear pies. Such additions would further enrich the breakfast experience with regional flavors
