Loughrea Hotel & Spa

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The location was pretty and the hotel was in good shape. We had a wonderful sleep and everything was comfortable We found our food and service in the restaurant was just “ok”. Pretty average. And we spent money to use the spa facilities. But felt it was overpriced for what you get. But overall a nice stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Nice property. Had a lovely view of the Lake. A bit out of town but the bar and restaurant in the hotel has excellent food. Breakfast was lovely. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Excellent combination of spa & hotel

Lovely hotel , great food , comfortable , great view of the lake and nice staff . The only downfall was in the bar the cocktails were the worst I’ve ever had. They clearly need training on how to make them . I tried a few different ones and they were truly awful

We loved this hotel, bed was very comfortable, room was huge and had plenty of space for three of us and our luggage, the spa was a treat and needed, but could have small improvements to make better: for example keys in the foot bath, scents in the shower or steam room, and massages in the chairs but overall was a treat (there were no times for services while we were there, so book ahead). Parking was clearly explained on the site and easy, food and bar were great and their communication was excellent prior to arrival!

Overall experience was mediocre - after booking the hotel we got an automated welcome email from the hotel asking if we want to book the table for the dinner and other special requests; we emailed back the preferred time for the dinner also requested if we can use the swimming pool after arrival. We didn't get any response, but we were pretty sure that they received it and have us in mind. After arrival and checking in we were told that there is no swimming pool in the hotel (they have it only in Cork hotel), also the table wasn't reserved for us. Kids were extremely disappointed regarding the swimming pool and if we would have received the email from them on time advising us that the swimming pool is in the different hotel we would definitely not be choosing Loughrea Hotel and Spa and choosing the one more suitable for the children. The room was damp and the window was not opening, no balcony, no terrace, no window. All night we had an air conditioner on the lowest temperature and at the highest speed but it didn't make much of a difference, it was still very damp and no fresh air (we love sleeping with a bit of window open for the fresh air, but as the window was not opening we couldn't have that option). Breakfast was very poor, dried eggs, extremely dry black and white pudding, not a good quality sausages and bacon. Would we come back? No, thank you. For the price we've paid there are more luxury and comfortable hotels with tons of activities for the kids.

Property sates it has a gym, when I checked in and enquired about it, they don't. Nice area by the lough, about a 10 minute drive from the hotel.

It was slightly disappointing as the spa was only open until 6pm and it was not complimentary to use the spa facilities like it as at other hotels. Also there was no swimming pool.the rooftop bar was closed and it was a lovely warm day . There was not enough light in the room it was very dark in the corner where the dressing table was. The shower controls were faulty it was difficult to get the correct water temperature we were nearly scalded. The chair in front of the desk was very heavy and difficult to move . The room was clean the bed was comfortable.

5 minutes from the motorway. Plenty of parking. Bar was nice. Breakfast was good. Countryside setting. Local service station next door. Lake nearby nice for walks. View was nice. We had a family room and the room was very large.

Excellent 2 night stay - lovely spa facilities and clean, quiet room. Recommended

Acctually nothing wrong but not up to what I expect from a 4 star hotell. Everything is a bit dated, sloppy services, glasses and cups was not changed the first morning. Breakfest not made from start, reheated scrambled eggs, avocado toast that was made with guacamole not fresh avocado. A sticky note in coffee milk. Poor lightning in the toilet made almost impossible to shave. No saftybox..... I could go on regatding the non-exciting SPA but I will stop.

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.

Very friendly staff. Food was very good. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great shower and toiletries. Wish we could have stayed another night!

Smoking area outside of hotel filthy. Cigarette butts and a few empty cigarette packets..and dirty glass roof tops below the balconies again littered with cigarette ends .

The hotel overall is very clean and the staff was very friendly.

The staff was nice to allow us to check in 15 minutes late, but the room was terrible. The carpet was dirty with some stains, there were 2 bugs in the bathroom which was meant for a handicap person. I had to practically kneel on my knees to use the incredibly small sink and the lighting in the bathroom was equal to candlelight. Staff was nice, but that was a bad room.

Very clean, great breakfast,food, spacious room , extremely comfortable bed. Friendly and supportive staff.

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.

Staff members were very friendly and hospitable. The food at the restaurant was wonderfully crafted. The accommodations were well maintained and very clean.

An OK mid-range hotel. Beds were comfortable, and the windows can open for fresh air which is welcome and not always the case. Parking is very convenient, and it is only a short motorway drive to Galway city. On the other hand, organization at reception was a little haphazard (e.g. our dinner reservation was lost); breakfast was rather uninspiring, and our room and nearby corridors smelled stale.

Four individual beds for the family of four

The property and staff were great! It was just a bit loud at night, due to some weddings and concerts. But it was the perfect location for everything we needed and close to family! We would most definitely stay there again and again!

The room was fantastic, comfortable beds and great hot shower. No frig in the room but the hot water kettle and tea setup was nice.

Nice property. Had a lovely view of the Lake. A bit out of town but the bar and restaurant in the hotel has excellent food. Breakfast was lovely. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Never been to a hotel that does not have a mini fridge. This does seem to be common in Ireland so far.

Clean and roomy. Great set up for our family of 4 with room to move around. Balcony would have been even better with some chairs to utilize it.

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.

I asked for a quiet room, at the back, away from the lifts. Many hotels don’t bother even trying to facilitate such requests. But not here. We got exactly what we requested and we got a great night's sleep. In fact the lifts are well away from the bedrooms, a nice design feature. The room was big. Two armchairs. Comfortable bed. Everywhere spotless. (Small niggle: no fridge or safe in the room). Staff are exceptional - reception, bar and breakfast room. Excellent breakfast. We had a lovely dinner in the bar. It was busy, but very comfortable. When we were checking out we booked a room for next month. Looking forward to it.

Very helpful and friendly staff.

It was fine. Couldn't reach staff to book a massage and they weren't flexible nor pleasant about it. It is a nice clean place but wont stay there again.

The hotel itself is reasonably priced and the room was clean. The pillows perhaps a bit hard but that's personal choice. Staff on check in and check out were friendly. My main criticism was that the service for dinner was poor. It took quite a while to get seated. My main course was wrong and I had to wait for it to be replaced. The resulting delay meant I didnt get finished til 8.55pm only to be told the kitchen was closed and I couldn't get dessert. This was disappointing

The staff were all very friendly even the restraunt staff. I loved how spacious the room was. And the shops and everything were very easy and convenient to to get to.

Very frustrating as I called beforehand asking if they would be able to provide me with a VAT receipt and it was confirmed to that I would be provided this, this was also confirmed upon checking in. when checking out though I was met by the manager who was quite frankly very unhelpful and rude, she advised me that I was told incorrect information and that nothing further can be done...very annoyed about this as I would not of booked hotel if this was the case.

Friendly staff with quality service and a great breakfast.

Great hotel. Views from the room were beautiful. Easy drive to Galway and cliffs of Mohr. Staff was friendly & rooms were comfortable and clean!

Friendly hotel with great rooms, service and bar... Easy walk to town and helpful suggestions from staff

The staff were all very friendly even the restraunt staff. I loved how spacious the room was. And the shops and everything were very easy and convenient to to get to.

Beautiful hotel. We enjoyed walking around the lake and surrounding area. The restaurant at the hotel was very good. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Preis-Leistung super Großzügiges Zimmer, Frühstück okay Großes ehemaliges Business-Hotel an einem See gelegen , sonst aber wenig zu tun

5 minutes from the motorway. Plenty of parking. Bar was nice. Breakfast was good. Countryside setting. Local service station next door. Lake nearby nice for walks. View was nice. We had a family room and the room was very large.

Beautiful views

Convenient location for family cisists

La recepción; chicas jóvenes sin más... Con ganas de que pase rápido. El restaurante, comida buena y servicio amable y profesional. El problema empieza cuando una pareja con un bebé de muy pocos días se infló a cervezas y acabó la policía. Eso nos causó molestias de espectaculo, ruido y pena por ese bebé. La habitación espaciosa y la mala suerte que la pareja que había al lado hablaban alto hasta la 1 de la madrugada. Cuando bajas al comedor con un "Desayuno completo" te encuentras con bimbo integral y blanco, jamón york, unas lonchas de queso que se levantan las 4 puntas cuando de secan, bollería croissant, cañitas y macedonia. Y yogurth diet. Ni infusión, ni café.Bajo petición y pago. No se puede poner un agua caliente para un te?? No se toma café en Irlanda? Me parece ridículo ,que cobren por eso.

We enjoyed our brief stay. Would have loved to have stayed longer. The accomodations were lovely. The restaurant had good food and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere.

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.

Very clean, great breakfast,food, spacious room , extremely comfortable bed. Friendly and supportive staff.

Loved everything except the cost of breakfast 20 erró full breakfast but way to much. No option for just a muffin and coffee.

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.

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.
