Ormonde House Hotel

The standard room was dark, shower was broken and the general hotel very dated. Breakfast very limited not worth paying for. The rating was 8.8 this was only a 7 at most

The entrance hall was dimly lit and tired; the carpeting generally on staircases was grubby, paintwork chipped. That said, the bar and restaurant areas were attractive and clean; the staff were very pleasant. The room was superficially all right but details let it down: fugged-up windows, mouldy shower with a broken screen and a scruffy cupboard under the sink. I was surprised that no cereals, fruit, yoghurt, cakes were offered at breakfast to accompany a decent English hot plate.

A gem of a hotel Comfortable, clean, large rooms with sizable en suite, fresh attractive decoration. Perfectly located 10min walk into the town with a choice of restaurants and walks.

Poor overall accommodation Water in shower was only lukewarm, silicone sealant was all black and mouldy, grout around tiles dirty and required cleaning, but comfy bed. No evening food available after 7.30 so had to go out to eat.

We booked a last minute stay at this hotel, the staff here are warm and friendly and a credit to the hotel, our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and had the advantage of a spa bath in the en-suite bathroom. The downside was the two flights of very steep stairs to negotiate to get to the room( not a problem for myself and my daughter) but I can imagine it being quite a challenge for some, especially if you have heavy luggage with you so I would recommend that if booking here you make sure that any room allocated to you is accessible for your own personal needs. Breakfast is a cooked offering which has to be ordered the night before, there is NO orange juice, cereal, fruit or other extras that are usually on offer at other hotels we have stayed. The full English we ordered was quite small but it was tasty and well cooked (with a perfect poached egg) the staff were happy to bring us more toast when we asked. Following our stay the only negatives that we would like to mention are : The hot water wasn’t hot ! after one shower it ran out ! There was a very strong smell of **** on the landing outside of our room which penetrated into our room ( presumably from another guest ) but with no staff available on site after 10pm this wouldn’t have been noticed or addressed by the establishment. Finally, the tea/coffee making facilities are on a very low table in the room we stayed in, which made preparing drinks both tricky and messy without kneeling on the floor to do so.

Really lovely, comfy hotel. We had a superior room and it was very spacious. Lovely big bathroom too. Nice to have a fan in the room too as often you have to ask for these things. Could do with a little bit of attention in the bathroom (bit of mould in places) and a coat of paint on the ceiling above the fireplace. Breakfast was lovely and cooked fresh. You have to preorder the night before and state what time you would like it. Thought this a bit odd initially but it worked well. Service was excellent. Would have liked a selection of cereal, fruit, juices etc before the cooked option. There was 'juice' but to be honest, it was very diluted - didn't taste of anything! All in all a nice little break and we'd definitely stay again. 😊👍
