Top Athy Hotel Reviews

Killashee Hotel

Killashee Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean. We were 3 with 2 queen beds that were very comfortable. The bedding itself was very clean and soft. Since it was summer and Ireland was experiencing warmer than usual hot days, we didn’t realize there was no Air Conditioning, but they did provide a table fan which was agreeable. Do be mindful of the season you book. Overall the stay was excellent, the gardens picturesque and staff very friendly. The included breakfast was excellent as well. Thank you for making our stay a positive and memorable experience."

"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."
