The Killeshin Hotel Portlaoise, hotel in Portlaoise

The Killeshin Hotel is one mile from Portlaoise and junction 16 off the M7 motorway. It offers a bistro, an indoor pool, hot tub, a gym and free parking.

I called the day previous to our stay explaining we were travelling from Mayo to the Bruce Springsteen Concert in Kilkenny and asked if we could drop our luggage on the way . The Receptionist was so nice and said that she would try to get us an early check in . We arrived at approximately 11.45 and the room was prepared and waiting for us . I think this was so exceptional and more than we had expected . This kindness makes your Hotel stand out and was very much appreciated . All of the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful so a wonderful experience all told.

    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 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.)

    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.

    This was our first time staying at the Iveigh House Hotel, Portlaoise, from the arrival to our check out time everything was excellent. The personal touches, greeting upon arrival, early check requested, a location with tons of character, centrally located and a breakfast which was superb, well done !

    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!
