Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lovely Restaurant in Off The Bone and Amy the server was very friendly and could not do enough to make us feel welcome. The food was also very good. All the staff were very good and friendly but the hotel was a bit tired and could definitely do with a refurbishment. Our bathroom was also quite dated and grubby.

Remains the best breakfast anywhere I've stayed and this time was no different. Staff at all points are friendly and professional. Rooms spotless and a generous size. I always find the South Court a very easy place to relax in, be it early or late.

Had such an amazing stay here. The staff were unbelievable, we were a huge group with lots of coming and goings and they were very accommodating. Shout out to the reception team Aoife and Eliza who made our stay extra special along with the bar staff!! Rooms were spacious, clean and beds were so comfortable. Plenty of tea and coffee available in the room and even had extra towels. Can't wait to return!

An excellent hotel. We needed to stay near to the Regional Hospital and the staff could not have been more thoughtful and helpful. Service was top class .. very professional and friendly. We had a particularly nice receptionist for the few days we were there...Eliza...a warm, funny and most helpful young lady. The food was excellent.. very nice accommodation and restaurants. All round... excellent experience

Our flight was diverted to Shannon airport due to mechanic issues. Delta bussed us to the hotel to stay overnight. The hotel sudden;y had nearly 300 unexpected guests. Check-in was fast and easy, rooms were clean and fairly large, staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the restaurants somehow kicked into to overdrive to feed us dinner and breakfast. The food was good at dinner, and the full-Irish breakfast buffet was solid. It helped there is a little supermarket next to the property. Impressed by their ability make our sudden arrival comfortable and seamless.

The bar was disgraceful. Literally half the counter top was full of glasses all night. Some other people there remarked on this also. Our waitress Savannah was excellent in every way. I think we would have left only for her.

Hi there Rbshaw, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your experience in our hotel. We recognize your concerns regarding the countertop crowded with glasses. Please note that the specific area of the countertop next to the bar is reserved for overflow use during exceptionally busy times. This happens only on rare occasions when both our bar and floor staff are experiencing high demand. I do hope you can understand this. Thank you also for your kind words about Savannah, she really is an asset to our team in the hotel. We hope you have a lovely week, take care. Kind regards, Ciaran.

I have no idea why this place has any good reviews. The pillows are flat and stiff. The mattress is hard. There is no central AC nor is there adequate heating in the rooms. I had to request a space heater. This hotel has not been updated since the 90’s. Everything including the bathroom is OLD and DATED. The interior decor is bland and looks like a granny’s home. It’s noisy! I heard doors slam constantly, hotel staff and quests can be heard talking in the hallway as if they were right in my room. If you require proper rest, this is NOT the place. What’s with the separate hot and cold water faucets in the bathroom sink?! Makes no sense. The best thing about this hotel is the restaurant and the restaurant staff. I do not stay here by choice, my company requires its employees to stay here. Good thing they pay for it. This hotel is definitely not worth the more than 89€.

Met friends and had dinner in off the bone Saturday night and our meal was excellent with lovely ambience and really good service. Didn’t get the waiter and waitress names to compliment so apologies. But Andrea checked on us during the evening. Staff were friendly and had good banter. I had spicy chicken wings for starter and Thai stir fry for mains and is very good quality food. Thanks to all the team and well done
