We had an enjoyable Family stay at this hotel for 2 nights. The room was very clean and bigger than we had expected it to be. Breakfast was very nice both mornings and staff were very accommodating. Very quiet hotel. Would definitely stay again and will highly recommend.

brendan, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful view if the Lough. Good food and friendly service. The bathroom could do with brighter lighting and although breakfast was lovely (recommend the avocado, beetroot, posched eggs) it was not clear that you had to get your toast from the buffet which is strange seeing as it says on the menu scramble eggs on toast.

This was my first time staying at the hotel, and it was a great choice. The staff were attentive and friendly, the room was excellent, as was the food. The breakfast was simply the tastiest hotel breakfast I've had in a long time. Overall, a great stay.

6/10 Good

The overall property is clean, feels safe, and the staff is friendly.

8/10 Very good

The Lough Rea Hotel and Spa is a nice hotel with spacious, clean and tastefully decorated rooms. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was a little weak. We asked to have someone come and look at it but no one followed through. The staff was polite but there was rarely anyone at the front desk. Overall, my stay was satisfactory, and I would stay here again.
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was beautifully decorated. Staff were all mostly helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Nice and hot. Room was a family room very spacious, net curtains could do with being replaced. Quite ripped and worn Other than that room was very comfortable. Would nt hesitate to go back to this hotel again. Not really far from Galway.
Winifred, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Never been to a hotel that does not have a mini fridge. This does seem to be common in Ireland so far.
Brittany, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I want to stay again！

The room was spacious and clean, and there was no room to spread out two large suitcases. There was also a supermarket and a fast food restaurant nearby, which was convenient. I was very grateful for the bathtub and electric kettle. However, I wanted a refrigerator. Was it possible that the dishes on the menu were free for breakfast? I didn't look at the menu carefully because I saw first that coffee was charged.

Staying out of necessity

The room was adequate but dated as the furniture. Not enough toiletries for a 4 star hotel. The staff was polite but need more training with the basics for hotel service. Breakfast was poor with not enough choices for cold items. The Breakfast room needs a complete overhaul but unacceptable that were towels on the floor balancing the tables. I would give it a miss next time.
