We stayed here for one night with friends and overall had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms were comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. The facilities were also excellent. Unfortunately, our experience at dinner let things down slightly. One of the meals (a double smash burger) was completely inedible and was returned, yet it still appeared on the final bill and was charged in full. This was raised at the time and should have been removed. We were also told during a conversation about tipping that staff do not receive tips and that there is no point in leaving one. If this is the case, it’s quite disappointing and not something guests would expect. Overall, a nice hotel and an enjoyable stay, but these issues did take away from what would otherwise have been a great experience.

Lovely breakfast in a really nice fining room. Had a drink in the bar which had a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff

Beautiful and comfortable room - amazing bar area.

I came from dublin late and didnt get any sleep , loud noise in the room , i think it was the air conditioning .i told the receptionist and she didnt even apologise or offer a complimentary tea or coffee .

Nice large rooms with good restaurant. Breakfast was OK but a bit expensive at 12.50 euros

Had stayed many years ago and had forgotten what a lovely hotel. Spacious bright room and bathroom and convenient carparking in basement carpark with access to reception. Courteous staff.

Room was clean and tidy. Bit loud corridor but not hotel’s fault

Very nice hotel. Staff was great, food was excellent, and the room was clean. Recommended. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic hotel, great facilities, very reasonable price and lovely friendly staff

Excellent facilities

Good location close to ballinasloe centre

No flora landscaping limited but was in a town

The hotel was clean, but basic . Breakfast was bland , and just seemed sloppy . Staff while nice when you engaged with them all seemed quite new and not pro active when checking in on what the hotel had to offer , what time breakfast was , where the restaurant was etc. when checking out the member of staff took keys and that was it. While nothing bad can be said about hotel , a lot could be improved

Excellent 2 night stay … staff lovely great room and excellent food in the bar … not our first time in the Shearwater and we will definitely return … highly recommended.. Roberta

Comfortable rooms and beds. Only covering is a too hot comforter. I need a top sheet. I didn’t ask. Everything else great. Luxury even. Close walk to stores pubs and cafes.
