Picture a cold, windy, wet day....enter O'Loughlins hotel Portlaoise...instant heat from an open fire, smiley greeting from barman Sean.. brought me my cappuccino... absolutely gorgeous..so relaxing, warm and friendly, 10/10 👍

Best cappuccino

Stayed here in February 2020 and all I can really say is that it’s an ordinary hotel with no thrills and frills! Rooms are comfy enough but not really what I would call soundproof as we could hear the chatter in the bar! Luckily it was a week night and there was no music on. The staff are very friendly and nice and the huge breakfast would keep a small family going for the day!

Central to everything

This is a great wee hotel with lovely food and fantastic staff, i will definitely be back here again, great value for money we stayed with four other families and we had a ball, the kids were able to work away in a safe environment 



Laois vs armagh 

Booked online, a week in advance, arrived about 5pm to find door closed with a sign saying "Hotel Closed. Ring Bell For Assistance". I rang the bell and a man came to the door, said he could check me in and give me a room, but that there would be no bar and no food, because "new management". The place is very old fashioned, no great care taken in preparing the rooms for occupation, not outright filthy but quite shabby. A poor choice I'm afraid.

Not Great...

I had coffee here with a friend one evening. It was both of our first time visiting. 

The tea and coffee were fine and the staff member friendly. 

The decor and surrounds were just bizarre and peculiar with antique bottles and potions (many labelled “poison”) in display cases. There was a large area with “bookcase” wallpaper which looked out of place. 

There was also a bucket behind our table catching water from the ceiling. 

Toilets were an absolute disgrace with solids on the floor which were left there for over two hours at least. 

I would not return.

Bizarre place

Dated hotel but very welcoming, food superb - nice and friendly, might be an issue for some that there is no lift, and parking could be an issue, ,overlook the minors for the superb location, good for business travel

End of a long week

Great location. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious, beds are very comfortable. Food is excellent especially breakfast. This hotel is great value for money. And also has free parking.

Great value for money.

I recently stayed here with my 6 year old daughter for a girlie night away. When I booked a room I specifically looked for one away from noise.
When we got to the hotel and checked in we were brought to our room. It was on the main street. The room was small, stuffy and needed a make over.
I wasn't happy with our location. 
I spoke with Deirdre who was lovely and she said she'd speak with reception about getting us moved. 
We were moved to room 7. Room had a bit more space but again was stuffy and could do with being updated.
Myself and my daughter left the hotel to meet with friends and arrived back about 9pm. We went up to our room and when we opened the door I thought someone was playing music in our room. The band that was playing were so loud it was like we were sitting in the bar. I went back to reception and spoke to John the manager. 
He said there was no other rooms available, we'd already been moved and that I had signed an agreement on check in that the hotel weren't responsible for any noise outside of the hotel. This was never explained to me on check in. 
My little girl was v upset which John could see and he stil wouldn't do anything. If I could have checked out at this stage I would have. I was told the band would stop playing at 12.30am. I went back to the room with my daughter. I had to keep the windows closed hoping to block out some of the noise. 
There was no air conditioning in the room and the heat in the room was unbearable. The band were still going at this stage.
On check out I spoke with a staff member about the situation she said they are always getting complaints she got another staff member who I spoke with and I asked for a refund as I wasn't happy with the service provided to me. The staff member was v apologetic and said he couldn't do anything til the manager (John) was here. I couldn't wait to see John as we had a train to get. He said he would get John to phone me sunday afternoon. 2 days later John still hadn't called so I had to ring on Tuesday. I was told I wouldn't be getting a refund as it stated on the website bout noise and I had signed an agreement. I asked for the owner to call me as I was unhappy about this and I am still waiting for a phone call.

Well, what to say about O'Loughlins !! Yes, it needs some tlc, but that's not the point. It's a traditional Irish bar/hotel, of which there aren't that many left. The room was clean, if a little dated. The staff were helpful and very friendly, parking is free and the whole place has a good atmosphere. Good selection of Irish whiskeys !! And, as for the breakfast !! Enormous and delicious! If you get the chance, have a chat with the owner !! Great craic.

Good budget hotel.
