Top The Swan Hotel Reviews

The Club House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spotless and the bed super comfortable. We loved all the breakfast choices and tried several of the cooked options. All were great!"

Midlands Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I stay at the Midlands Park once or twice a month and I have to say its always been a great experience. The rooms are modern, spotless and well equipped. Food in the Charters Bar is always excellent - I highly recommend the roast beef! The breakfast choice is amazing. All the staff are welcoming and very helpful. Looking forward to our next stay!"

Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great pit stop on Motercycle journey"

Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Kilkea Castle was amazing! Had such a fun time. I will hopefully be going back for another trip."

Maldron Hotel Portlaoise

8/10 Good

"Ok for a day trip. Next to highway. Clean gym and pool on site"

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay as always."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

The Lodges at Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Kilkea Castle was a wonderful stay. Last minute we booked a room in the Lodges; unfortunately, the actual Castle was all booked up. This didn’t lessen the experience though. The lodge room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed and had a fairway view. We were also able to use the facilities in the castle itself. We weren’t there to golf and that was just as well as the course was closed for maintenance. As a golfer the course did look like a premium course, and I’d love to go back for another stay and a round."
