Gleeson's Restaurant & Rooms

Everything was great. Beautiful historic property in the middle of downtown Roscommon. Junior suite was spacious, and the bed was super comfy. Restaurant provided an excellent selection of menu breakfast options...not the typical Continental Buffet you see at other hotels. Dinner menu was very good as well. Dog friendly! Walking distance to Roscommon Castle and the Abbey Ruins. A scenic 25 min drive to the Irish National Famine Museum and Strokestown Park.

The room was large, quiet, and clean. The bed was very comfortable and we slept extremely well. The bathroom is old-fashioned, but the shower worked very well. Breakfast was the best of our 16-day holiday in England and Ireland. The biggest asset is the lovely staff, especially Nanu, Clare, and Ben. The homemade cakes in the cafe are divine, especially the lemon drizzle cake. Free secure parking is a huge bonus. I was ill before my arrival, and the hotel was exceptionally helpful in changing the dates of our stay.

The staff are the absolute stand out at this place. The townsfolk generally were all exceptionally welcoming but we found the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The food (breakfast and dinner) was varied and suited all tastes and was really good value given the current economic climate. The rooms are a bit dated but even that made them more homely, the place was very clean and tidy and rooms were serviced daily. The restaurant was often very busy and frequented by locals which is always a good sign.

Everything, especially the friendliness of the staff, special mention for Pauline, the restaurant manager, who once she found out I was looking for my mother birth place. Pauline phoned a lady called Eilish Feeley, who is a genealogist, and helped me to find out a lot about my Irish ancestors. I strongly recommend this lady if you need to find your past. The food was lovely, and the breakfast was outstanding. Would definitely stay here again. First time to the town of rosscommon, but it definitely won't be the last, a beautiful little town with a lot of history. Loads to see, i.e., the Abby, the castle plus plenty more...

Already said location - excellent; staff - excellent especially the restaurant staff; food - excellent; value for money; bedroom - excellent.
