Portlaoise Emo Court Hotels

"The pool was freezing and was put off going back the next day I ordered children’s pizza, it was rock hard around the edges, it seemed to be reheated "

"Had a little difficulty checking in as we arrived late due to delays on the flight. Bar was busy and had trouble with entrance cards. The rooms were delightful, prefer that water is not in the water reservoir as you don’t know how old it is. The bed and linen is delightful, bathroom spotless. I would stay again though, real nice welcome. Parking is good, but would have liked clearer direction before arriving."

"It is difficult to fault Kilkea Castle as every aspect of the property impressed. The little things therefore matter and small faults in maintenance, which should be dealt with in a luxury property, tend to stand out more. However, that is digging into the fine detail. So, first impressions carried through from first stepping inside with a warm welcome, the engaging housekeeping staff and superbly professional dining/breakfast room staff. On site activities are a nice touch and worth looking at. Food was well prepared and delivered well. Room was well appointed and tastefully decorated in keeping with the overall castle make-over. Would we go back, in a blink of an eye. Well located in Co.Kildare, the castle offers a great location to explore Ireland's spinal counties. Is Kilkea a great location to simply relax at, absolutely. Go on, indulge."

"The room was clean, parking was available and the staff were helpful"

"Great location "

"All excellent "

"Room was excellent"

"Room lacked a desk/dressing table, there was a large gap where it should have been. A manager did bring a battered looking square table that would have made it a narrow space at the foot of the bed, I had already moved a smaller table into the space, so that I could set up my laptop and also use the hairdryer. The room was otherwise ok, no USB ports luckily there is a garage across the road that sold adapters. A shower over a low bath with a shower curtain that clung to my legs, noisy plumbing. Breakfast was the usual with a good choice, self-service coffee from only one machine. I was staying there for a conference unlikely that I’d choose to stay there in future. Having said that I had stayed there in the past with no issues. There’s a very good Indian restaurant within walking distance "

"Room clean. Staff very friendly"
