What guests think

At The Newgrange Hotel, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, central Navan location, and good value, while feedback on rooms is mixed, with some refurbished and comfortable but others dated, noisy, or affected by temperature and Wi-Fi issues.

Many guests enjoy the bar and restaurant food and an ample breakfast, though several report limited or lukewarm breakfast items and inconsistent service. The underground parking is frequently described as very tight, and occasional events can bring noise to nearby rooms. Overall, expect a traditional, lively stay with standout service and variable room quality.

No complaints about the Newgrange, staff friendly and helpful, offering a high level of service. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The only issue was access to the car park which is tight with parking spaces on the small side.

The Parking lot was made for tiny cars, terrible car park, they need to up date it completely, will not stay there again until they do. The hotel is great other then that.

The parking lot was very tight. The room was pretty small. The hotel lobby, library, waiting was very nice. The reception staff was very friendly. Cheap towels. Faucet sprayed on my clothes and toward the door (floor). Glad we planned on only one night there.

Unfortunately booked one night when they had BINGO LOCO RAVE. Please check the website before you book, not obvious. Thumping noise until 11pm all through the hotel. If I had known I would not have booked. Was supposed to be a relaxing birthday weekend. Was anything but. Complained to Manager next morning but she very sarcastically said THANK GOD THE NOISE ONLY WENT ON TO ELEVEN! She could not have cared less. Only interested in taking your money. WORST THING ALSO WAS THE CHEAP SPRINGY BED. Definitely not pocket sprung or foam. Just cheap.

Stayed in the Newgrange Hotel for two nights 13th and 14th of February to celebrate my wife's birthday. From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with a smile that gave a thousand welcomes. From booking in at reception, to the bar staff, to the cleaning staff, to the night porter (which we had great banter after returning after a great night in Navan) , to the breakfast on both mornings I do not have anything bad to say. All the staff were excellent, very polite and extremely helpful. We had a few drinks in the bar both nights and found the service quick and at a high standard. On friday evening we decided to eat at Rowley's Bar and I must say the food was exceptional. I ate a smash burger and my wife had the chicken stack, complimented with a portion of delicious onion rings. The food was such good value for money and so reseasonably priced. Would highly recommend the food from the bar. Even down to the small things like the hair dryer not working I rang reception and we had a new one in minutes, even when checking out on Sunday morning the receptionist was so pleasant and make us feel like a valued customer. Overall excellent staff, excellent food, and a very clean room which had all you need in a hotel room.

We had the misfortune of staying in room 512. We arrived at around 8 pm. When we got to the room. There was an awful musty smell. There was a used milk carton on the dresser and a suspicious white stain on the navy blue bedsheet. The room was freezing after one hour. I asked at reception if there was a problem with heating the receptionist informed me that she would turn the heat on in the room?? A hassle I really didn’t need at that time of night after a long journey. Breakfast was okay. I did enjoy a cappuccino served by one of the hard-working breakfast stuff. But based on my stay and influenced by the room, I probably wouldn’t return or recommend.

Weather was fabulous thank god as if i had to spend more time in the bedroom that would have been a nightmare. The breakfast was horrible, the bacon had a funny taste, we only took breakfast one morning out of the two as it was really horrible. There is work being carried out on the dated hotel. Wifi did not stretch to our room, which im sure could be fixed easy. Overall i wouldnt recommend, but its central to everything for thst it was good. Bed wasnt particularly comfortable. Sink in bathroom had a big crack and hole and the light hanging from celling was hanging by a thread. There was a smell in the hotel that was terrible also.

Stay was good but heat of the room was unbearable and could only be controlled by the front desk and it controlled the entry floor not just our. Anyhow the staff really were very apologetic and did what they could within their means to make us comfortable. The unfortunate thing was we could not opened the window every night because the cigarette smoke would come into the room from the outdoor smoking on the patio. Secondly, the water temperature was all over the place challenging to take a shower in the morning it was slightly better at night. Lastly, the bathroom was very much in need of new caulking everywhere and the toilet needs some TLC, it was loose and not anchored to the floor. There was no cleanliness issues with it just maintenance issues. .

We were warned about the refurbishment, but carried on for our weekend. Got room 501. All good first night. Saturday we ate in the hotel. My wife is a veggie. Not a great menu for her. She asked for spicy veggie chilli chicken on a bed of chips. She got it on a bed of mcCoys crisps. After an early evening of a meal and drinks we went up to our room to relax. However the entertainment was "bingo loco". Our room was only a few yards away. The evening was a constant thud of the music. The only saving grace was it finished early but we weren't warned about the event. This ruined a good weekend

Average hotel, lobby & bar lovely and modernly decorated. However, room was dated, old and noisy. Bed was old spring bed which was very uncomfortable. I ended up sleeping on top of the duvet in an attempt of additional comfort. Walls very thin, could hear everyone and everything. Late check in offered at €10 per hour additional after 12 noon which was ideal as we needed a late check out. Staff were lovely.

We stayed for our anniversary and they had a lovely message with chocolate covered strawberries for us on arrival. Breakfast was fresh and again staff were great and very helpful. Had a small issue with the toilet informed the girl on reception and it was sorted witin minutes. We stayed here several times and have to say definitely one of the best. They done a lovely refurbishment on rowleys bar and not overpriced. Pint of guinness was €6 and great pint. We will see you soon 10/10..
