I had a lovely stay at the Hodson Bay Hotel, though not everything was perfect. The room was spacious and clean, and the view of the lake was stunning. However, I encountered some issues with the check-in process and found the reception staff a bit disengaged. The dining experience varied; while my dinner at L'Escale was quite enjoyable, I did hear some complaints about the breakfast quality.

My stay at Hodson Bay Hotel had its highs and lows. The beautiful location by Lough Ree was captivating, with stunning views that enhanced my relaxation. However, some of the service aspects fell short of expectations, particularly in the bar area where the staff seemed inexperienced. I enjoyed the overall facilities and room comfort, but the dining experience had its hiccups, lowering the overall experience slightly.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was clean and spacious, albeit it had a few maintenance issues such as worn furniture and a somewhat dirty bathtub. The lake view was stunning, but not as panoramic as promised due to blocking from the golf course.

Dining had its ups and downs. The breakfast options were generally good, but I faced issues with temperature control in the warmers during one of my meals. Dinner in the bar was decent but lacked consistency in quality. Some food felt overpriced for the value received.

The hotel offers a range of facilities, including a lovely swimming pool and gym, contributing to a pleasant stay. Despite a few operational hiccups, such as cleanliness issues in the jacuzzi area, the amenities largely enhanced my experience.

I had a lovely stay at Hodson Bay Hotel with gorgeous views of Lough Ree that made everything feel even more special. The food was mostly excellent, but I noticed some inconsistencies compared to previous visits. The staff were super friendly, especially Zoe at reception, who really stood out for her excellent service. However, bar service could be a bit slow during busy times, which dampened the experience a tad.

My room was clean and spacious with a perfect view of the lake, making it a nice spot to relax. However, upon arrival, I was given a room overlooking a roof, which was disappointing until I got moved to a better one later.

The staff were friendly and attentive, which made a big difference during my stay. Zoe's effort to accommodate my needs was particularly nice, but I did find the bar service needs improvement to keep up with the restaurant's standards.

The hotel's location on the shores of Lough Ree is stunning, providing beautiful views that were truly enjoyable during my stay. It’s a bit of a distance from the town center, but the scenery is worth it.

I really enjoyed the dinner options; the food was delicious with a variety of options. Breakfast was also good, but I felt some dishes could have been better executed, especially how quickly items ran out at the buffet.

The pool and gym facilities were great, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The kids' club seemed to be a hit, so it's definitely family-friendly. However, I found the hot tub situation a bit unfortunate because it was not in working order.
