Sligo Southern Hotel & Leisure Centre

Grand old hotel, located next to the railway station. Refurbished nicely. Great breakfast option, dinner good and the bar area nicely appointed with couches, fireplace and snug.
Bar service when seated slow.

Unfortunately, several aspects of our stay fell well below expectations, particularly given that we were travelling with a baby and had chosen your hotel for comfort and convenience.

Firstly, the outdoor lift was out of order for the duration of our stay. This meant we were required to carry our baby in a pram up and down multiple flights of steps, which was both difficult and sun safe.

In our room, the television did not function properly. Although it appeared to be a smart TV, it was not connected and could not be connected during our stay. As a result, once our baby went to bed at 8pm, we were left having to watch television on our phones.

The room temperature was uncomfortably high, and we were informed that it was not possible to turn the heating down or switch off the radiator. The only option provided was to open the window, which faced onto a noisy main street. This was not a practical solution, as the only available space for the travel cot was directly beneath the window, making it unsafe to leave open overnight.

Additionally, the water pressure in the room was extremely poor. The tap spluttered when turned on, causing water to spray across the sink area and making basic use difficult.

The high chair provided for our baby was old, dirty, and unsuitable for a child under one year old. We had to use cushions from the bar seating area to safely support our baby, which is far from acceptable.

We were also very disappointed with our dining experience. When booking, we had pre-arranged a three-course meal as part of our package and were advised that 6:30pm was the earliest available reservation time. However, on arrival, we were informed that the restaurant was closed and that we would instead be dining in the bar, with a reduced menu similar to what had been offered the previous evening.

The table provided in the bar was far too small to accommodate us comfortably. My husband was unable to sit properly, and staff struggled to fit plates and glasses on the table, resorting to using the windowsill for additional space. While the staff were polite and clearly doing their best, the service was extremely slow. By 8pm—one hour and thirty minutes after placing our order—we were still waiting with empty main course plates.

We also found the leisure facilities to be very basic, dated and not suitable for families or babies.

Overall, this experience was disappointing and did not represent good value for money. While we appreciate the efforts of your staff, the number and nature of these issues significantly impacted our stay.

I have raised these concerns with the hotel but have not received any reply. Would not recommend and will not be returning.
