I was firstly offered a very noisy room. Then when I asked they gave a room which was better but had slanting ceilings. Property is nice but provided you get a good room. It matters.

I loved the Rothay Garden. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Excellent food for breakfast and dinner plus lunch from the bar. My room was lovely, overlooking the river with a balcony. Comfy bed and really nice linens which is important to me! All positive, I would highly recommend and I’d love to return. Thank you!

Excellent hotel

Pleasant, friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. We were upgraded on arrival to a better room which was large with a beautifully lit bathroom with toiletries. We spent a relaxing hour in the spa, the hot beds are an excellent idea and I am missing it. The room was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden was fabulous and the restaurant beautifully designed to maximise the garden view.
