This hotel is exactly what you see advertised - no false advertising here or photoshot images. Immaculately clean, big rooms, excellent selection of breakfast and hats off to the chef for great, grease-free omelettes. It is in a lovely location, has a great golf course and next to a race course . Lovely seating and bar outback. A really nice bar - the whole hotel beautifully furnished. A great reception when arrived and very helpful staff throughout our stay. ****
Lovely food , great dinner great breakie , nice and friendly staff
I found the hotel to be extremely clean and friendly, the staff were all very helpful and efficient. The food was lovely but a very small choice which stayed the same over the three days and I suspect along with most hotels now the restaurant is only open for dinner Thursday to Sunday. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing break
Room nice Reception staff very efficient Food nice but bar staff need training Breakfast layout needs improving Ie Cold meats cheese and fruit section Leisure centre ie gents changing room very wet and unkept
Lovely hotel .staff very pleasant..got an upgraded room .Only one chair in the room..some of the tiles loose and cracked on the bathroom floor . otherwise it was a lovely hotel.
when we arrived at reception system had us down for 2 nights b&b only. After intervention from another staff member matter was resolved. i paid supplement of €10 for steak meal but did not get crispy onions which was on menu. no cups in leisure area for drinking water machine. apart from above accommodation very good as was food.
Lovely relaxed hotel,very friendly staff Vera on reception was very helpful and the bar staff were lovely also nothing was too much trouble.We will definitely stay again.
Lovely staff and great food. Will come back again.
Lovely hotel, clean and well kept. Staff kind & friendly. We stayed in a family room catering for 2 adults 2 children very spacious room. Only down side the double bed was quite soft for my husband and he didn't sleep well. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.
Vera welcomed us with a smile and a chat. Really enjoyed our 3 course meal, service was excellent and friendly. Used swimming pool twice, lovely area. Will definitely be back.
Great hotel, nice leisure centre exelent food and drinks. Rooms clean and comfortable. We spend 2 nights there staff very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place for family breaks or getaway with friends. Live music not my style but still nice to have a pint and have opportunity to listen when someone sing a songs. Definitely back there
I'd recommend the Ballykisteen Golf Hotel, the staff were very helpful and the food was lovely. I'd definitely go back.
Lovely friendly staff. Arrived for breakfast at 10.30 Sunday morning to find hot buffet almost empty and we were told it wouldn't be refilled, a bit disappointed
Lovely stay! Great staff very friendly

Fantastic deal with no compromise on service and quality. Staff were amazing and so helpful and attentive to all our needs. Highly recommend.
Lovely hotel
Very poor quality food in Restaurant
Lovely hotel with friendly staff and poor quality food. Our two night package included an evening meal on both nights. Attentive friendly restaurant staff but unacceptable delays in getting food. Some items of food were very poor quality (chicken wings not cooked properly, garlic potatoes inedible, poor calamari, crumble desert inedible etc.
Large clean comfortable family room, really comfortable beds. Had fabulous meal great menu. The hotel had entertainment on in the bar was very lively great atmosphere.
Spotless Hotel, Staff were so nice and helpful. The food was amazing. Had a little mishap with the meal being very late but the staff were amazing in how they handled it. 5 Stars for this hotel.
the hotel was brillinant and the staff . we will come again for sure
My wife and I spent last Saturday in this hotel, first class service from the time we walked in the door and exceptional value with excellent food & Entertainment, would highly recommend a visit.
Lovely hotel, staff were super friendly. A nice a relaxing environment

Service non existent during lunchtime, had to drive to another restaurant to get lunch but service and food quality in the evenings very good, staff very nice and helpful.

Very good hotel, stayed with 2 small kids and everything was very convenient and staff were very helpful.
Very pleasant and efficient staff. Reception lady was charming and helpful.
Room excellent Food quality and presentation top class.
Hotel is spacious and clean. Staff very helpful and very friendly - would recommend this hotel for a quiet chilled relaxing break and take advantage of a nice pool steam room and sauna with a jacuzzi that is a massage therapy in itself. ****
Second time to stay in this hotel we loved it.staff are so friendly and chatty.serves a perfect pint of Coors ✔only downfall was the breakfast both mornings there either wasn't much left at the time we went down and food was quite cold.but other than that we had a great time
My girlfriend & I stayed at the ballykisteen hotel recently and found it to be quite enjoyable ☺. The hotel was modern and the rooms were clean. The hotel staff where friendly and very helpful when needed. I would recommend others to this hotel as you get alot for the price you pay. My only bad mark against the hotel is just the location. If you don't have a car you really can't get very far. Other than that it is a great hotel.
A beautiful hotel with excellent service and lovely food. Well worth a visit as it is exceptional value
Quiet, spacious, away from the noise and traffic of the town. Room and food were great. Everyone was most kind and helpful.
Nice hotel, food good and great setting on the Golf course.
I stayed in the Ballykisteen Hotel two weeks ago with my elderly parents,The staff were excellent and my parents were given a room with a walk in shower which was near to reception Exactly what they need.The hotel has great facilities and amazing food.I couldn't fault the hotel or staff. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!
Was a very pleasant stay, staff were all very nice and very helpful.
The hotel is in bad need of a bit of an upgrade. Shabby in a few areas. The staff were courteous,polite and friendly. guys in the pro shop were helpful and chatty. Pool, jacuzzi and leisure facilities were excellent. Overall we had a lovely time and would not hesitate in recommending the hotel to friends.
Great hotel, staff couldn't do enough for you. We only stayed one night this time, hope to stay longer next time.
Lovely Break, Staff were excellent and the food was great too..would recommend .Thanks
This was a lovely hotel. Everything from the staff to the facilities was top notch. The meal in the restaurant was lovely and tasty. The lodges were beautifully decorated and very spacious. Majella in reservations was more than helpful as we were quite a large group and took some organising! Already we are looking into a return visit to this hotel.
Had a brilliant weekend. They gave us the Junior suite which was a beautiful surprise. Food and service excellent. Leisure centre lovely. Had an all over massage which was so relaxing. All staff lovely. Really relax and would recommend this hotel to everyone. Definitely going back soon.
Excellent hotel, went above and beyond for us
Hi my friend and I enjoyed our stay at Ballykisteen. Great staff and excellent food. Room comfortable. I would like to suggest that the leisure centre would supply larger towels as the towels were ridiculously small. Perhaps there was a shortage of towels on the day I was there as pool very busy with mid term break.
Excellent hotel
Enjoyable one night stay at this hotel, Our room was lovely, looking out on the golf course, Hotel is spotless, Staff very friendly & welcoming. We were on Dinner B&B basis , Dinner was scrumptious from starter through to desert, Breakfast also very nice with lots of choice, this was my 4th visit to this hotel and shall not be last. Highly recommend for relaxing break.
Really enjoyed overnight stay..The Staff are very friendly and helpful..Had a lovely meal in the restaurant with plenty of everything..the only problem was that the chairs slide around on the floor and when the staff were moving a table they struck against my brother-in-law and his chair went gliding on the floor.they were all apologies to him..entertainment in bar was very good really enjoyed it..Breakfast was bit disappointing as there were loads of flies around the food which is very offputting..We stayed in Room 116 and there was a constant buzzing sound coming from somewhere - we felt it could have been the fuse box..All in all this was a great hotel and we would definately return.
This hotel is well-placed between Tipperary and Limerick and is in an excellent location. However there are a number of small problems with the hotel. Two out of the three showers in the Ladies changing room did not work, and I remember the same problem from previous stays in Ballykisteen. The toilet in our hotel room also did not flush, so i hope this problem was quickly sorted for the next guests.
My wife and myself spent two nights in the Ballykisteen Hote last week and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was so spacious, with every facility and overlooked the golf course. We had dinner in the bar both nights and the quality of the food and the service was excellent. A good base for touring around Limerick and South Tipperary. We will return again.
Fabulous Hotel and very friendly staff! Really enjoyed the break and such amazing value.
Beautiful modern hotel, with large spotless rooms with all the neccessary mod cons. Very popular with weddings. Only downfall was the meal, food wasnt great but it may have been an off night. Would stay again if in the area.
Room was very comfortable. Food was very good with a decent menu choice. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Leisure facilities very good -particularly the golf course.
Very unsatisfactory - rooms unclean, carpet filthy, dirt all over the room, same with leisure facilities, steam room out of order, lockers not working, complained to manager and was not offered any compensation
The hotel was satisfactory but the meal was very disappointing. I would not give it a four star rating.
Have recently returned from a 2 night break, had a great time, hotel was good, staff very helpful, accomodation good, overall a very plesent experience, we also had our two children aged 4 and 6 with us and were upgraded to a self catering lodge close to the hotel. would make a return visit. great value for money. 4/5
This was a fantastic 4 star hotel and well worth the %u20AC49 each we paid for B&B with dinner. The hotel was spotless, friendly staff, the leisure centre was adequate, the food was lovely and there was entertainment in the bar on Saturday night. We got the train for a change but as there isn't much else to do if you are not playing golf then I suggest you bring your car. That way you can drive arouind this lovely part of the country, Well done lidl for geat value breaks
stafff were lovely, hotel had very clean bedrooms, enterence could be improved and I did not likethe bar area but overall good value for money. I would give it a 3 star rating
This was a lovely break and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a beautiful meal. I would like to give it four stars. M W
The hotel looked lovely as we pulled up to it but when we got to check in we were informed that we would be staying in a lodge and not a hotel room, and unfortunately I wasn't best pleased with this as when I book a hotel I like to stay in the hotel, now the lodges were lovely if a bit cold, but we did have to walk to and from the hotel for meals in the rain, which wasn't the best. The receptionisst did say that we should have been informed that they did not have family rooms in the hotel but we weren't so it was a bit disappointing.
Enjoyed our stay, we booked a family room for %u20AC78 b&b when we checked in we were told it was to one of the lodges on the grounds overlooking the golf course. The lodges were lovely and it was great to have the kitchen facilities which had everything you could want. The hotel itself was nice and the pool was lovely. I would recommend this hotel and the rate we paid on the lidl website was great value.
Very nice hotel, nice rooms, nice staff and nice location.
