“Return Visit”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

We have stayed in the Woodlands Hotel on severl occasions,but had not been here for about three years until the new year.I have always loved our visits to this hotel and never had any reason to complain about anything. We arrived on 30th December and stayed until new years day.
This time we were staying on room only basis through octapus.When we arrived we were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist.We went to our room which we were very pleased with on arrival. I noticed the room was quite dark and when I checked the lamps there was no bulb in one. When we tried the television the remote control would not work. I mentioned the bulb to the receptionist and explained that my husband is visually impaired and she said that they would have to wait until the next day to get it replaced and they would get us a new remote for the tele. They left another remote for us but it would not work either but i didnt mind too much because I just needed to stand on the chair to change the stations manually. We ate dinner both nights in the bar and the food was lovely as were the bar staff and the lady that worked on the food counter was so nice. We also ate breakfast in the restaurant on new years morning and it was really nice and very reasonable at 10 euro each. There was a different receptionist on the desk on new years eve and I again asked about the bulb for the lamp but was told they didnt have access to get bulbs.There was a wedding at the hotel on new years eve and the hotel was very busy, we met some lovely lads from tyrone who were home from brisbane for the wedding.All in all we enjoyed our stay there but next time maybe we should bring some bulbs with us :) I also thought that the sofa in the room was faded and may need updating. Would definitely return there though as I really like this hotel and the staff are so nice.

“A holy show”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Booked in with my wife for one night.
Lucky we only live 45 min away as we had to turn round and go home.
The first room we were put in a leg was broke off the bed which gave it a big slope back to one side. The curtains were faded away and filthy.
Both floors were thick with paint fumes that would poison you.
The second room had stained carpet which looked like blood. A big extractor fan was roaring outside the window, which would have had to be open to let the fumes out.

Find somewhere else!

“Unfriendly Staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Stayed here for 1 night just before christmas, my boyfriend and i were full of christmas cheer and hoped to find the same at the hotel.. sadly it was not to be. we checked in late afternoon after a festive afternoon in the city, to a cold and unwelcoming receptionist. After a short wait as the receptionist dealt with a problem on her system she checked us in, we were handed our keys without any information on the hotel, breakfast times, leisure centre, dinner times not even an indication as to which direction we should go to find our room. The room it self was very clean and quite large however the chocolates and wine that we were to receive on arrival were not in the room, but were promptly delivered by a very friendly guy after a quick call to reception. Room was roasting during our stay and breakfast was cold and tasteless. As i work in hospitality myself perhaps my expections were high, good location and impressive apperance on arrival however it is not a hotel i would rush back to.
