A pleasant February getaway.
Pros:

I enjoyed my stay. Staff were friendly, helpful, efficient. The food was top class and I enjoyed a high standard of comfort, cleanliness, and pleasant surrounding decor in bedroom, dining, and restaurant. Set in lovely natural surrounds, overlooking the river. Great value too!

Absolutely perfect
Pros:

We stayed in Vienna Woods to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. From start to finish everything was perfect. The reservations team were super helpful even when we had to change our dates of staying. The lady on reception was lovely and we got the most beautiful room looking over the river and new gardens. The food as always was excellent and the restaurant staff were so kind and professional.

A beautiful stay
Pros:

I could not praise the Vienna Woods more or give it a higher rating. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated so well. From reception staff, housekeeping, bar staff and dining staff, everyone was courteous and friendly. Our room was beautiful, spotless and the bed, so comfortable. The food, for dinner was exceptional and the setting just fabulous. Music in the bar was lovely, breakfast the following morning was lovely. The lady at checkout (from Cork?) was super friendly and lovely. A very memorable style. We will be back.

21/2/26- Our Wedding Day
Pros:

Where to begin! From the moment we met Laura we knew it was the only place for our big day. Laura made the whole planning process so easy and was always there to answer any questions or queries we had. Every single staff member went above and beyond for us. From Michael Magner to Seamus, Gerard, Andrea and Thomas to name a few. Whether it was accommodating early check-in, assisting our family, or making sure we had everything we needed, they did it all with big smiles and such positive energy. It truly felt like they were celebrating right alongside us. You all made our day extra special. Every single guest at our wedding has been raving about Vienna woods, the food, the staff and the overall experience and many have said it was the best wedding they had been at to date. That is down to all of you!
We truly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place for our wedding day. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel incredibly special and celebrated. Every detail was handled with such care, professionalism, and genuine warmth.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Stephen and Niamh Hayes🤍

Fantastic, 5 Star staff, fabulous room, great food and drinks and experience !
Pros:

We last stayed in Vienna Woods Hotel in February 1976 while on our honeynoon !
To celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary on Valentines Day this year we decided to stay again and we were not disappointed. While the hotel has been extended there is a fabulous mix of old and new. The staff were all great and couldn't have looked after us any better. The welcome at reception was really good and the treats in our room were much appreciated. Menu and dinner was first class and we were looked after by fabulous staff for dinner and breakfast. We can't wait for our next visit.
Five stars from both of us ! Cost was very reasonable also!
See you soon again,
James and Linda Conlon

Just bad from the start.
Pros:

Saving grace is the staff. Other than that terrible. Function room is beside the reception and so noisy. Bar is beside tge Function room. Impossible to talk. 20 minutes to get checked in because it was busy and only one poor girl on reception. Food last orders are at 8.30. Will not return.

Incredible hotel
Pros:

Vienna woods is a stunning hotel, the views are amazing the staff are absolutely wonderful so accommodating and professional. We had our wedding here January 2025 and it was just the most amazing day thanks to the hotel and the staff were couldn't have asked for anything better and we just went back for 2 nights for our anniversary. They had congratulations balloons in the room and cookies. The food is incredible. 5 stars ⭐... I would highly recommend it to people. I still have people that comment on my wedding last year every time I meet them and people still raving about the food.

Expected a bit more
Pros:

I attended a corporate Christmas function recently and decided to stay over in the hotel. I have been going to this hotel for functions and meals for almost 40 years and there has been a lot of investment and improvements in recent years particularly in the function room and adjoining room. My visit did not get off to a great start as there was no hot water available in my room apparently due to an issue with the boiler.
Our meal was ok - the starter and main course were good - served piping hot and was tasty but the desert was really disappointing and had the look and taste of a shop bought desert.
My other big issue was that my room was very cold when I retired for the night and there was no means to turn on or up the heat.
