Top Kildare Hotel Reviews

Killashee Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful hotel! Staff are so warm and kind and professional and go out of their way for you! Food, especially breakfast is superb. Public areas feel luxurious! We were upgraded to a junior suite and it was perfect! Loads of space and a stunning bathroom!"

Midlands Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel but didn't quite feel like a 4 star. The little extras you'd expect just weren't there. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable but the was only a kettle for instant tea/ coffee! Breakfast was lovely. Staff on reception were very helpful but the lady in the bar restauraunt was rather rude. The swimming pool was great. Small jacuzzi and the sauna wasn't hot enough."
