The room was really clean but one of the cups in the room had lipstick on it.Otherwise couldn't fault the facilities. The bed was really comfortable and would definitely stay here again
Room was vey clean as was the bathroom Shower very easy to use, Overall very comfortable and quiet.
One very good service was the FREE water dispensers on each floor jug in room provided for filling great idea for cutting down on plastic bottles very well done Slieve Russell
We stayed quite close to Christmas so the hotel was quiet which we loved. The staff were impeccable. Constantly asking if you needed anything without being intrusive. Would highly recommend
All was very good but no proper shampoo and conditioner in the rooms. I requested a rope for going to the spa but didn’t arrive on time. Should have been in the room.
Tradesmen not tidying up after themselves found a screw on the carpet which cleaners should have been around after they were finished.
Found a broken glass under a radiator in the club house. Cleaners need to be advised to look everywhere when cleaning.
No bananas on display at breakfast.
Everything else was Excellent. Loved the food in the evenings and bar. Setanta was closed on our visit.
Staff were great and building looked great. Look the new look of the interior.

Room was nice, would have liked to see USB ports in the room to charge a phone .
I went on a bank holiday weekend and the staff were amazing! There were lots of staff that were calm and accommodating to our needs (one just needed a wheelchair which they provided for use in the hotel). The food was very good for all our meals. Also, the singers in the bar were excellent in the evening. My only complaint was that the changing rooms at the gym/pool were quite smelly!
Wonderful stay at the Slieve Russell. This hotel delivers on all fronts, service, comfort, food, amenities. Simply a brilliant place to unwind and relax.
Enjoyed the staff who were most helpful at all times in the reception and dining areas. The road works outside the hotel was a horrible experience as we had to drive on narrow country roads for almost an hour from the main roads. Local people were so helpful when we got lost on a couple of occasions.
This is an excellent place to relax and unwind, everything is so calm and welcoming with very pleasant and helpful staff.Live music in the bar at the weekend and fantastic food in one of the restaurants,golf,pool etc what else way to spend a weekend

Great staff, but wasn't impressed overall
Staff were faultless-very nice. But the bar food wasn't great. Well below par for a place like this. I didn't pay for my meal because it was far from a Carbonara. Just tasted like a catering mix- it certainly wasn't freshly made. Breakfast was better.
The bed in our room was very rickety, so we had to sleep in seperate beds in the end (when one of us rolled over, it woke the other up).
No air con/ climate control in the room despite a control panel for it!?
This was the first time we had ever stayed at the Slieve Russel Hotel but it will definitely not be our last. The hotel was fantastic from start to finish staff were all so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. We ate in the restaurant and the bar and the food was amazing, rooms were clean and everyone followed the Covid rules and procedures. Thank you Slieve Russell we had a ball ☺️
Highly recommend slieve russell hotel. I was so impressed. Very clean hotel,food was fab and staff was very friendly and helpful. Im sure i will be back here.
