Holyrood Hotel: Opinions

Fantastic experience: We booked one night here. We checked in at 8pm yesterday and we have great sleep in the super comfortable bed. The reception gave us room 165. Thank you, it is lovely one. The bathroom is bigger in size from other hotels - eg Crowne Plaza range. It is family run hotel, can feel the hotel owner makes tremendous effort and it shines in its role. It is classic hotel. It is cosy and well thought in its own way. Highly recommended. Kudos to everyone in Holyrood hotel.

Negative experience: Very bad experience here. The room was dark. The main light wasn't working. The windows were not clean. Was kept awake with the leaking gutters and the perspex roof. The view from the window was a wall. The breakfast was not what you would expect for a 4 star hotel. Food was tepid and not tasty.

Fantastic experience: Called with husband 24th August evening for light bite as Bundoran bustling as bank holiday weekend. Was met at the door by lovely young man who directed us to food area, then Katie (South African) was so pleasant and sorted us out with table and food. I listened to her meet/greet lots of people as they arrived like us with no booking. All staff were happy ‘ professional even though extremely busy. Well done to Management/staff for a great experience, lovely food and so comfortable.

Negative experience: Had 2 nights booked costing €460. Paid €100 deposit. Unfortunately day before we were ment to go one off kids got sick. I called hotel to explain we couldn’t go and I was told would have to book different 2 nights so I wouldn’t lose my deposit. I tried to book 2 different nights and I was flexible with dates. I was told they had no availability so I said I would call back and book some other time.when I got off the phone checked booking.com I found they had availability and money had gone from my account.. I was charged €100 deposit and €130 for 1 nights stay. I’m not one to leave a review but the way I was treated on the phone by manager was appalling.

Negative experience: Myself,hubby and daughter stayed at this hotel on Sunday 10th August,the girl behind the reception wasn't friendly (roisin), room wasn't ready to check into until 4 o'clock,u have to booked the swimming pool,then we went into the bar to get food,was told there was three family's booked in before us,we decided to have a drink while we waited,I then asked the bar man when did they stop serving food ,he say 20 mins ago,they had forgotten about us,got no food,very disappointed to be honest,and then no children after 9.30 in the bar, so had to get a chippy,

Positive experience: staff were friendly,ordered food that had nuts in it that weren't on the menu,when I brought this up the chef said its in the allergens, it should state on the menu with ingredients not in the small print, my pasta carbonara was sour,we didn't eat it but we're still charged which was disappointing. we ordered a deluxe double which we didn't get even though we were told it was, luckily there was a single bed to as my partner had to sleep in it as the double bed was too small. pool not the best small and felt dirty, steam room and sauna were moved to the treatment rooms so have to pay extra to use them.

Negative experience: Stayed there as part of a group for a birthday. It was one of the most disappointing experiences. Hotel is far too warm. The bar area in particular. Multiple guests complained about the heat and asked for it to be turned down and we were told it wasn’t possible. You had to take any jumpers etc off just so you weren’t sweating. Rooms were terribly warm also. Had to turn radiator off as soon as we got in to the room and opened the window but it didn’t do anything. No air conditioning as well for a four star hotel? I’ve stayed in many 3* that have air conditioning. Matress on the bed was very worn as well and very squishy when you lay down. No shower mat also and floor was incredibly slippy when you got out of the shower . Our cold water in the shower also wasn’t working. When you went to reception one member of staff seemed to be incredibly busy and couldn’t serve you properly!. Some of the staff were absolutely lovely like the bar people and ladies in spa. Others were very rude to us as a group.very blunt and short with us when asked a simple question. Food was lovely I will say that although breakfast was a let down. On our second morning we weren’t given any toast with our full Irish and staff too busy running around to see us trying to call them over . Asked for a cappuccino and told “ we only serve coffee or tea” .. again this is a 4* hotel. Our dinner was very nice but very annoyed at the bad service. Some of us got the steak which was an extra €12 which was fine. But what wasn’t fine was the lady coming over to us with the card machine as we were not even half way through dessert!. Couldn’t she have waited until we were finished eating?. Also started hovering the floor near us as we ate dessert?. This was around 8.30pm. we asked them to bring out the birthday cake after dessert and instead they brought it out just as we were served dessert resulting in some of us missing the cake due to being in the toilet .our package was for 4 courses I got three . Asked for a peppermint tea after dessert and never got it . Staff just magically disappeared . The ladies in the spa were absolutely lovely but I do feel having to pay extra to rent a robe and slippers is a bit much also having to pay extra to use the jacuzzi but it’s free in the leisure centre ?. A lot of the policy doesn’t make sense and it feels like it’s just to get extra money out of people .

Fantastic experience: After visiting Bundoran for years, we are always looking for new things to do and decided to treat ourselves to a spa experience. We got a very warm welcome and shown to beautiful changing facilities. Hot tub and sauna were great before we were treated to a truly relaxing one hour treatment. Both therapists were very professional at what they do. Lovely relaxation room at the end with the nice touch of herbal tea. Will be back when we return.

Fantastic experience: We took advantage of the September sizzler two nights B&B one evening meal and twenty minutes Spa package. Room was very clean. Spa was fantastic. I had a head shoulders and neck massage and was completely relaxed afterwards. Pool was very clean and much better than some more expensive hotels I've stayed in. Food was amazing with very attentive and friendly staff. Hungarian guy was lovely and friendly. Reception staff very knowledgeable. Great that the hotel has their own car park. First time staying in Bundoran for a long time but definately will be back. Live music in the bar at night. Everything you need under one roof amazing 5*****

Positive experience: Went here for break with partners family. Stayed for 2 nights. Room was great (shower is a bit small for taller people) the bar was great and the food was lovely however the only issue my and my partner had was the difficulty of getting served at the restaurant I understand that it is a family hotel but given we were sitting away from the family and the children we didn't get the service we would have liked. The only time we got amazing service was when seated with the children

Fantastic experience: Lovely food great cocktails and brilliant live music. Amazing staff even tho they are extremely busy and have some shocking rude inpatient customers to deal with while serving us, they were still smiling and polite while serving us. I work in customers care and don't think I could have dealt with the abuse they received as well as they did. Amazing job tonight guys thank you.

Carla Leydon 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Is there a separate review forum for the Escape Spa? There should be. I can't comment on the hotel itself as I didn't stay but the Spa was excellent. After my first treatment with Dominque I had to come back each day of my trip. Can't wait to go back for more!. Very well recommended

Chris Drummond 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently just spent 7 nights with my family. To say we had a fantastic time would be an understatement. The staff and everyone involved are very friendly and given the current global situation feel that they have adapted very well in creating a lively holiday atmosphere. Really looking forward to returning and a special thanks to Seany McEniff and his lovely family for everything. Well done guys.

Ciaran Mcconnell 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great weekend here with the kids. Staff were very helpful and always nice, rooms were very spacious and comfortable, food was delicious and prompt and the entertainment was fantastic. The weather was horrible when we went but it didn't matter as everything we needed was in the hotel. The kids activities and entertainment was brilliant the hotel went out of there way to make sure the kids had the time of there life so much so my kids didn't want to leave. We will be back again and again.
