Slieve Russell Hotel

Beautiful rooms, delicious food.. breakfast and dinner in Conall Cearnach and Summit bar in golf club. Friendly staff.. wonderful Christmas break.

Booked this for a birthday and to take kids away. Room was a family suite and was lovely however not a great selection of children channels in the room. Pool was more suited for adults and not great for kids. Ate in the restaurant ordered the children's mash and gravy which came out with 2 small scoops to share between 2 kids so had to order more for them and charged for that too. Chips were inedible. Very little entertainment in the bar in evening. Place just seemed dead except for weddings and golfers. For a family hotel we were very disappointed and left early the next morning.

Had a very enjoyable break at the Slieve Russell- service, facilities, dining and rooms could not be better- we dined in the golf clubhouse- we were so well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. Food and service was excellent and both children and adults all enjoyed their food- well done all.

Just back from a 2 night stay. This stay exceeded our expectations hugely. 1st time back in 8 years. The hotel itself has received a fresh coat of paint and all the public areas are spotless. Our room was more than sufficient with a hood sized comfortable bed....pillows were too soft but got used to them. Bathroom well finished. Fresh towels daily. Dining both nights was excellent with a good choice to suit all on the menu. Well presented and prepared by the chefs. The bar area was excellent with live music both nights. Good choice of beers, spirits and cocktails. Have to say the staff were excellent. Plenty of staff members working at all times. All friendly and willing to assist. There is a spa area and pool which was fine. Golf available on a champion class course. Nice walks available around the hotel grounds. All toilets on site well kept and clean. Have a special mention for Mihael and his team. Will definitely return as it was beyond excellent.

Excellent family rooms that still provided that element of luxury for Mum and Dad. Staff on the whole were very welcoming and helpful. Children were welcome in any of the restaurants and not made to feel otherwise. Food was very good and competitively priced. Pool is a good size and children loved. Gym has decent equipment for a work out. The only negative is the changing rooms need a bit of an overhaul and were cold. Setting is lovely and garden walk pretty - we played mini golf and ate food in the lobby/bar before leaving - food was enjoyed by all and again price was excellent for this lunch. only regret is we weren't staying longer. I hope the new owners of this hotel (as I believe its for sale) retain the staff and its many other positive offerings

Lovely few days at the Slieve Russell . Rooms are spacious and very comfortable . Dinner menu was extensive and delicious & service was ‘silver’ ! Breakfasts were varied - only comment is would prefer pancakes served hot . Staff in general Were helpful and very pleasant Only down side the pool was out of action because of a leak . Have booked for the Autumn .

Fifteen minute wait on a quiet sunny Monday morning for a cup of coffee ordered in the front lobby. Barely any other customers. No apology for the delay. Charge €4.10. I come regularly and love the hotel and staff, and am grateful for it’s existence, but…

What a super hotel. We were here same time last year and it just does not disappoint. From the professionalism and friendliness of the staff to the overall ambience 10 out of 10. The food is superb and the regal surroundings of the restaurant are just perfect. The bedroom was a superior double and it was that - superior. We played golf on the PGA course. It's a challenge but a really beautiful course with 3 exceptional par t 3's. Also, they have a walking trail which doubles as a great running track. We'll be back. I note the Slieve is currently on the market for 35 million while Mount Juliet is listed at 45 million. I know which one is be purchasing. It's just a great hotel that has everything. Book it now

We stayed two nights in the Slieve Russell. It was our first time at the hotel, upon arrival the aesthetics were beautiful, however the poor service and hospitality was a major let down. We booked our dinner in the Summit restaurant both evenings. Whilst the waitress was very pleasant the first evening (Thursday) it was very under staffed, with a long wait if you wanted to have dessert so we refrained. On the second night I and my family have never experienced service like it, it was so poor. I know not every request can be accommodated however I do not expect to be met with a bad attitude for even making a request. We were seated under the air conditioning, we had a two year old and my father who had a heart condition and due to medication feels cold all the time, my husband asked very politely, would it be possible if we moved to another table of four. The waitress said abruptly - no we are fully booked. At this point there were two tables of four free by the window, my husband then asked if we could do a swap, this caused great annoyance and she abruptly said we are fully booked, he then asked very nicely, would it be ok if we could have the air conditioning off, we got a yes but very abrupt, the table of four that was by the window was then occupied twenty minutes later by two people. The waitress then proceeded to ignore us, and sent a male server to get our order ( we were the only ones in the area served by the male, and we could tell by her face each time she passed us she was angry) we then saw her talk to her manager as we could see her pointing over to us- I'm astounded at her attitude as not once were we rude. After dinner my husband went to pay, and he gave her the money and she gave him the change all in small coins ( I know this happens, but it is usually met with, I'm sorry we have no notes, we got the feeling she did it on purpose as we seemed to annoy her with a simple request) We left the summit restaurant and went to the bar, the bar manager was the server and we asked could we get a dish of ice cream for our 2 year old, to another abrupt no, dinner service finished 30 minutes ago, again understandable but the unfriendly attitude after having such a bad experience in the summit restaurant was just the icing on the cake. So disappointed with the service as the facilities and the pool were fantastic. I did submit my review to the hotel and they asked for further feedback and I did give it however no further acknowledgement or thank you for getting back to them- very disappointing
