The Food is exceptional. Irish produce at its best 👌. Loved our dinners and breakfasts. Beautifully presented and tastes amazing ! Our server Aoife was fantastic. She went back to the chef and identified Samphire for me, as i had not come across it before. At breakfast i particularly loved the quality of the eggs. Top Class. Love the Lobby and the reading room.Staff were very professional and friendly. The bed was terrific, so comfy....

Roundwood House, hotel in Portlaoise

Nestled at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, Roundwood House offers Irish hospitality in a historic home of architectural interest.

It was one of the best stays I've had, in and out of Ireland. On top of the amazingly beautiful mansion, with its perfect decoration to make us feel at home, the wonderful food, and the luxurious rooms, Hannah is a great host. I've felt welcome from entering the building. Even when we were a few hours early for check-in, we got some tea to enjoy in the library room. It all was just lovely and so greatly enjoyable. I'll try to return in the future!

    Wanted to eat in proper Irish pub with live music as we have done at several other locations. Loads of bars, none serving food. Plenty of takeaways but didn’t want to sit on a bench to eat. Stayed at end of holiday so wanted to take home some local produce, cheese, bread, cakes but just one supermarket selling same as UK. Handy stopping off point between Killarney and Dublin but little else going for it

    The town is not what we expected!

    The town is not what we expected! There are so many pubs and restaurants who do both sit down and take away meals. Lots of live music coming from several pubs walking up and down the town. Very nice place! Only 50 minutes from the Red Cow so we were able to get the Luas into Dublin. Although we drove ourselves, we saw lots of taxis so I'd imagine it's very easy to get around.

    I reviewed Harry Potter Themed guest house, in the house room 4. The response I received was appalling to say the least. To say I should have booked the Hilton because I mentioned we had to collect our key from a table, with no one to give us bath towels that were not supplied in the bathroom and that the shower was dirty and not cleaned since last person used it and foul smell in the bathroom. Also no fire escape plan and dangerous exposed wires for the lighted cotton wool over the bed is childish and insulting. I am not posh in any way. Just expect a clean safe room. This is not a response anyone should expect from any accommodation.

    The breakfast and Kelly’s steakhouse is the reason we head to portlaoise! It’s our favorite steak house in Ireland! The food is delicious, the staff are kind and the beds are comfy what more could you ask

    Portlaoise is well located in the midlands of Ireland about 1 hour S East of Dublin. There are many historical, cultural and scenic locations in close proximity and it is a great stop over if travelling further south to Cork Kerry and further afield- - but dont just stop over spend a few days exploring the area of Laois - The Slieve Bloom mountains, The Rock of Dunamaise, several golf courses, fishing, cycling, the round tower of Timahoe, Stradbally steam museum and a host of other places too!! The town is just off junction 16 & 17 of the M7 motorway and has great bus and train service too. There are a variety of hotels & b&B available with urban and rural locations to suit your budget. Check it out! : )

    The reception staff that checked us in were lovely and friendly with a good sense of humour. I really liked everything about the attached steak restaurant. I liked the hotels proximity to town. The pool was busy but nice. The bar was very nice. The room was clean and the bed comfy. The room cleaning staff were pleasant. There was a particular girl who was brilliant at breakfast.

    The breakfast was fantastic...the best we had in our 9-day stay in Ireland. The location was convenient to the train station and close to town where all the shops and restaurants were. The inn was quaint. Be aware that check-in time is 5. We were kindly accommodated for our early arrival. (If you arrive early you might not be able to get in at all until check-in time.)

    It is an almost 200 years old building so it has a special atmosphere what i liked. The host of the hotel is very nice person. Also the location of the property is very good, because it is close to main street with small shops and pubs and it is very close to rail station, what is very comfortable if you come to Portlaoise by train.

    When first checking in I was presented with the breakfast menu for the following days. It had a variety of options but as I was mostly using public transport I stuck eating cereal. It is also perfectly situated halfway between the train station and the main street, with a multi-story car park and cinema across the street.

    Very clean room. Nice leisure centre with pool, sauna and gym. Good selection of breakfast items. Very comfortable and modern. It is very accessible to get to as it is located within a big open industrial car park with other food places on offer around the hotel. Hotel is located beside the motorway

    Pleasant stay, owner was v. Nice. Room could have done with a tv that had free to air channels, as only has now tv, which needed to be paid for in order to watch. (Not great to be fair). "Welcome" note only had a list of charges for breaking the rules. Room clean and warm.

    Very well situated in the middle of town, super friendly staff, lovely spacious room, room and bathroom were spotless. Breakfast was lovely. I think Portlaoise (abd Laois in general) is not enough advertized by Tourism Ireland but this lovely town has stolen my heart!

    For the 5th time in a month we were refused entry to the restaurant because they take bookings from outside before looking after their guests. Charged me for breakfast and then said they would not serve us breakfast before 8am. Worst hotel experience in all of Ireland.

    Lunch at bar was great. Supper at Kelly’s was good food. Servers could have been more attentive, but it was later in evening and they were tired, I guess. Parking garage was best we ever saw in Ireland.
