Fantastic Staff, Beautiful Hotel

Had a great stay in the Midlands Pk. Great location, great food, great room. I stayed in the hotel with a group of about 30 people and nobody had any complaints. In particular, the staff have to get a special mention. They were incredibly efficient and extremely friendly. They couldn’t do enough for us, from check in to check out. They not only seemed to enjoy the company of the customers but also the company of each other. Thanks to Marta & Pauline for their help with running our event, it was a major success & ye made life easy for me. Another mention must go to the very friendly lady in charge of the breakfasts, she ran and good show and was always happy while doing it. I will definitely be back.

Brilliant from Start to Finish

Have not wrote a hotel review in quite some years but after a lovely relaxing stay in the Midlands Park Hotel thought it was a must. Everything was wonderful, we had a lovely man checking us in who gave us all the information we needed he was extremely thorough and polite. We went straight to the pool which is huge and the kids had a wonderful time. Food in Kelly’s steakhouse was phenomenal and service equally as excellent. We didn’t eat in the bar but there was a great buzz around as to be expected on a bank holiday weekend and the interior of both the bar and the lobby is beautiful and well kept. Breakfast the next morning was quick efficient and very tasty. Our room was also fabulous and the water stations are a great touch on each floor. Our first time to stay and we are looking forward to booking again, hoping to try out the spa next time, 10/10!

Great Hospitality & Great Value

A lovely comfortable and very friendly hotel. Excellent standard room and food at a very good price. We had a lovely break as a family. Everything possible done to make our stay enjoyable. Love the water stations on each floor and fans in the room. Also very nice pool and leisure facilities. Couldn’t fault the experience. Not our first time won’t be our last. Thank you to all the staff you made our stay.

Gem of a hotel. We were 3 friends that met in the middle from separate parts of the country for one night. Lovely atmosphere and great value. Stayed in a lovely family room and had a delicious dinner in the bar. Staff were very good and very nice and we had no complaints would stay here again without hesitation.

Exceptional

From start to finish, our stay was brilliant. Every member of staff that we dealt with was just wonderful. From the ladies at reception while we checked in, to the young man that delivered our room service and the young girl that served us at breakfast, they were all just lovely and so helpful. The room was lovely, the dinner and breakfast was amazing. We have no complaints and we will definitely be back! Also the location was spot on! Fabulous hotel and staff!

Fantastic Establishment

I’ve just returned from another wonderful stay at the Midlands Park Hotel, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. The Front Office staff, Food and Beverage team, and Accommodation staff were all absolutely fantastic. Every member of staff we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We also had the pleasure of using the Sport and Leisure Centre, and attending Bingo Loco in the function room. All the facilities were top-notch and really added to the enjoyment of our stay. Over the years, we’ve stayed a number of times at the hotel and have experienced the standard room, the deluxe couples room, and most recently the Capard Suite. Each room was absolutely stunning, pristine clean, incredibly comfortable, and well-equipped. The hotel is so well-designed and thoughtfully laid out, making every part of the stay an enjoyable one. A huge shout-out to the staff in every area – you’re all doing an amazing job. You’re all so pleasant and clearly dedicated to making sure every guest feels welcomed and cared for. Considering everything, I would definitely recommend this hotel for a wedding venue. I even picked up a brochure, so you never know – it might just happen! Thank you to everyone at Midlands Park Hotel for making our stay so special. Keep up the amazing work!

An Excellent Experience

Had a lovely couple of days in the Midlands Park Hotel. The Hotel staff were wonderful, attentive and helpful in everything. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The rooms were lovely and comfortable and in spite of being in the centre of Portlaoise, there was no noise whatsoever. The rooms included dressing gowns which I used to visit the wonderful, 25 metre, swimming pool and sauna. It’s wonderful to be able to find the pool so easily accessible. Overall, I had a wonderful time and look forward to returning soon.

Great Location & Staff

Fabulous hotel. Group of 5 friends stayed in the hotel. Great central location, staff were excellent from arrival on. Room was really good quality. We ate lunch and breakfast there and both meals were excellent. The breakfast was cooked fresh not your usual lukewarm warm buffet! The fried potatoes were especially good.

Amazing 5 Star!!

We dined in Kelly’s steakhouse. We were greeted by the Hotel General Manager, George. The experience was absolutely 5 star as was the service and the food! The staff were so welcoming and professional. The atmosphere was amazing and the chef came to our table to ensure everything was perfect. We cannot rate Kelly’s Steakhouse enough. Definitely recommend!!
