The Lough Rea Hotel and Spa is a nice hotel with spacious, clean and tastefully decorated rooms. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was a little weak. We asked to have someone come and look at it but no one followed through. The staff was polite but there was rarely anyone at the front desk. Overall, my stay was satisfactory, and I would stay here again.

More fore show then service

Acctually nothing wrong but not up to what I expect from a 4 star hotell. Everything is a bit dated, sloppy services, glasses and cups was not changed the first morning. Breakfest not made from start, reheated scrambled eggs, avocado toast that was made with guacamole not fresh avocado. A sticky note in coffee milk. Poor lightning in the toilet made almost impossible to shave. No saftybox..... I could go on regatding the non-exciting SPA but I will stop.
