The hotel is going through an upgrade to be aware off - some some things are 100% and other re not fully complete. This is to be aware rather than putting any downer on our stay.

The location is prefect very central and close to every thing. They staff are great and very friendly and where available at all times. The breakfast has lots a choice and fresh.

No lift. I was on the top floor and had to climb many flights of stairs. I have had a recent operation. Hotel under renovation and I was not informed before my stay. 'Because of dust' I was woken at 8am by the fire alarm. 130 euro for a single room was not good value.

The staff were lovely and helpful. Lovely location.

The carpets in the corridors are worn, and the fixtures and decorations could be updated, but I had a wonderful experience otherwise. It didn't bother me.

Excellent location. If you're taking the bus from Tullamore, you'll get off just outside the hotel on Emmet Square. Once inside, you're likely to be greeted by a genuinely kind person who will show you to the breakfast area and give you sightseeing and restaurant suggestions. (In my case, that person was Anita.) I was traveling solo, and it really makes a difference to be greeted warmly. I stayed in a large room with a view of the square. I cannot say enough about the comfort of the bed or the cleanliness of the space. I also appreciated not needing an engineering degree to figure out the shower, which can happen in other places. My first night, I had dinner in the hotel restaurant and enjoyed a good curry, which I asked to be made extra spicy. It did not disappoint. The second night, I took Anita's suggestion to take a short walk to the County Arms Hotel and had a fabulous baked salmon with creamed potatoes. The staff in the breakfast area (Dooly's coffee shop) will take excellent care of you. It's a cliche to say "they'll treat you like family," but in my case, I felt like a guest in someone's home rather than a customer. The portions are generous and delicious, and I was surprised by the quality of the coffee. So good! (On both mornings, I noticed that locals come into the coffee shop off the street to eat in or to take out. That says something.)

Unfortunately, there was a lot of traffic driving through the town from 4.30am so I didn't get any sleep after that time

Friendly staff, hotel was immediately clean, nice firm bed & food was good

Noise off the bathroom when the toilet was flushed was extremely loud. Parking could have been advertised a bit more with a vast amount of pay and display areas around.

Breakfast in coffee shop off bar/lounge. Limited choice. No meusli, fruit salad, yoghurt, etc., just cooked options on menu.

Room comfortable but VERY dated.

Perfect location. Very nice room and comfortable bed. Great breakfast. Staff were very pleasant and helpfully facilitated me with an early check-in. Would happily stay here again if staying in Birr.

Stayed in September 2024

Some of the windows in the hotel are old and it was a windy evening so there was a slight draft

Lovely hotel set in the centre of Birr. Food in bar was nice and nice breakfast in the morning. Rooms were very spacious
