The staff at the hotel went out of their way to make our stay a very enjoyable one. I was on crutches at the time and they could not have been more helpful. Fabulous swimming pool, very comfortable room. Recommended. |

Excelent service! booked for one night with a special price. My wife enjoyed the time & place so much there, we didn't want to leave, so they gave us the same room with the same price for another night, (although the standard price was higher). Too bad, we couldn't stay longer and enjoyed all the facilities the place has to offer. Will be back again!!! The receiptionists are very nice & helpful, wonderful bar, good location, nice, quite & spacious room. |

Room was clean and warm, but lighting was 'cold' and inadequate for reading, as in most Irish hotels.
Main restaurant was 'adequate'.
Kelly's Foundry, the hotel's steakhouse was much better. it served superb steaks, with excellent side orders, and was great value. We were told that it was booked out when we tried to get a table, and we were able to dine only because it suited us to eat early at 5.00 pm. Early booking recommended! |

My partner and I stayed here for our anniversary and I have to say we had a wonderful stay. The staff were very pleasant, and the room was fantastic. The only problem we had was finding the spa, even after asking at reception, and following signs, it was very confusing, and we ended up giving up and not going. But that is our only gripe. We ate the first night in Spagos Bistro and the food was delicious. |

The hotel itself was very nice. The girl who checked us in at Reception was very helpful and competent. However, I felt that this hotels 4 star status is not really deserved. When we went for dinner the restaurant found it quite hard to find a high-chair for our son. When one was found it had been fixed with what looked like decking. On another occassion we were at breakfast with our son in his highchair when a couple arrived with twins. ON this occassion only one other high-chair could be found. This is quite surprising for a four star hotel to have only two highchairs for three restaurants. On a plus side the swimming pool was beautiful. All in all I think the Heritage needs to work a bit harder on its four star status. |

NO Info was given at check in time regarding booking dinner at the Fitzmaurice Restaurant, and we had two children with us when we went to book dinner we were told unless we got there within the next 5 mins we would not be able to eat there as children not allowed after 6.30pm. Also the food was of a very poor quality and the choice for children was dreadful. It would ut me off staying there again |

Hotel and staff were excellent. however, I would not recommend the Spago's Italian Restaurant. Service was poor and while the starter and dessert were very good the main course was very disappointing. They have another restaurant called the Fitzmaurice Restaurant which appears to have good reports. |

it is very easy to get Lost in the hotel as there's so many doors/corridors-a few more signs would be very helpful. Breakfast was Fab. Was a little disappointed with the Ealu Spa.Had a Hotstone massage -was left waiting for 20 mins on arrival BUT nobody told me how long more i would be or sorry for the delay.Massage was lovely but i was a bit bothered going in as i was left sitting for so long.Check-in staff are lovely and Bar staff in residence bar are very good |

Our stay at Portlaoise Heritage was pleasant beyond expectation. Room was immaculate, bathroom spotless, room turndown etc. tops. Reception staff extremely courtious and helpful, especially Jenny. Consierge more than helpful - was helpfull without us even having to approach or ask. I inadvertantly left items behind in bedroom and upon phonecall I very gratefully received them in post within 2 days. Spagos restaurant excellent to the point we ate there on both evenings of our stay. Cannot praise enough. |

Immediate reception and atmosphere was classy relaxed, warm and inviting. The main restaurant within the hotel was very nice. Food was fabulously prepared and every bite tasted was delicious! However I would like to suggest some areas to improve on: The main head waiter in the restaurant seated eveyone on the same side of the restaurant even though there did not appear to be any reservations on the vacant tables. By seating everyone together guests could over hear conversations from other guests at the tables beside them and therefore no sense of privacy or space. Also our waitress on that night seemed pushy direct and impatient! I would also suggest trays to be provided in the breakfast room as I burned my hand carrying my irish breakfast to my table. Although our bedrooms were excellently serviced and clean-room staff were very stingy with providing milk-four small milks are simply not enough for two people. When my mother asked a room staff for more milk the girl replied"no, thats what you get in all hotels" This is not good! Finally I liked the day reception staff however they need to smile more and the night reception staff when we were there appeared to have a lazy attitude-even talking seemed a chore to him! The porter also had a rough manner and untidy dress. I would suggest some training in interpersonal skills and reception and presentation skills. Overall a very nice stay and I will return! |

It's a beautiful hotel with friendly helpful staff who provide an excellant service, we tried 2 of their 3 restaurants and the food was fantastic.My only criticism is that the rooms at the back (where we were) have a lot of disturbance from the train lines right behind the hotel from very early in the morning. |
