The River Lee ticks every possible box…
Excellent hotel for facilities, location, comfort and courteous, professional friendly staff. This place ticks all the boxes and they have absolutely nailed hospitality from check in to check out. Our room wasn’t quite ready when we checked in which wasn’t a problem at all for us but the receptionist immediately offered as a free drink whilst we waited in the bar. Another €20 to spend in the restaurant. Pool and spa were lovely. Didn’t use the gym but those facilities looked very good too. Had dinner in The Grill Room, food was very good , presentation excellent and staff attentive but not overbearing - Just as it should be in a good restaurant. Room was large and had everything you could want/need. Plenty of towels, lots of lovely high quality (The White Company) toiletries, hairdryer, tea/coffee, safe and the largest TV I’ve ever seen in a hotel bedroom. Beds super comfy too. Check out easy and staff happy to order a taxi for us to the airport which turned up within minutes and also provided us with a free eco friendly carton of water each for the journey. Highly recommend The River Lee and will definitely stay there again.
