Overall Ratings
4 based on 45 reviews
21 bedroom hotel in the heart of Kildare town and only thirty minutes from Dublin, the Kildare House Hotel has the welcoming ambiance of a Country House Hotel with the advantage of being perfectly located in the heart of Kildare town. It is the perfect spot to enjoy all the wonderful local attractions the Heritage town of Kildare has to offer. The hotel is less than 5 minutes from from Irish National stud, The Japanese Gardens and the incredibly popular Kildare Village Outlet Shopping. For racing lovers, Kildare is world famous for hosting some of the most exciting horse racing in Ireland, the hotel is located perfectly for the Curragh, Punchestown and Naas Racecourses. Kildare Town Heritage Centre is an exciting visitor attraction in the centre of the picturesque town, with multi-media presentations telling the story of the town from when St Brighid established her church in 480 AD. The Round tower in the grounds of St Brighids Cathedral is the highest tower in Ireland that can be climbed. The new St Brighids visitor centre is less than a five minute drive from the hotel. The hotel itself has two fantastic bars, The Gallops is the main bar, traditional in style , classic and designed with comfort in mind. The Gallops serves fine food 7 days a week, breakfast from 7.30Am, lunch from 12.30 And dinner from 6.00Pm. The Saddle Bar is also traditional in style, classic and cosy with its very own snug, it also offers a fantastic carvery lunch on Sundays. The Saddle Bar can also be hired privately for events for up to 100 people. The ballroom is a wonderful room with three stunning chandeliers, the perfect venue to cater for events for up to 200 seated guests. All the bedrooms have been recently renovated , they are all en-suite with a work desk , satellite TV and free wifi. There is ample parking for cars or coaches to the front of the hotel. Conferences can also be catered for. Kildare town is only five minutes off the main M7 motorway and only 30 minutes from Dublin. Kildare town is serviced extremely well by Irish Rail and Bus Eireann and there is a direct bus from Dublin Airport which takes about 40 minutes.
Very poor experience
Reviewed By V4462FYjoanmWe booked a table in the Gallops Restaurant for dinner on Wednesday 8 June 2022. We arrived and were seated promptly. Our starters n drinks arrived without issue. However the meal went rapidly downhill from here. We had to ask twice for water n seek out a server to take a drinks order. He had to write it down as he could not remember 3 drinks n water. Our main course was not served to us until about 40 mins after our starters were cleared. One steak was fine,one overdone, duck which should have been served rare was med to well. Veg served with chicken was cold n underdone and potatoes were not fresh. We did receive an apology for the delay from the server. Our mains were cleared n after another 30 min wait my husband had to look for a server as still no sign of our desserts. 2 were fine, one was inedible. When we were leaving we were asked if everything was OK. My husband replied no & outlined the above. He received a sorry about that apology, nothing more. We paid full price of €150.40 for a poor meal with appalling service. Apparently a chef phoned in sick n they weren't expecting the rush. My husband replied that we were as we had booked.No offer of a manager to speak with us, comp. a round of drinks. NOTHING. At no time did there appear to be a manager or supervisor in the restaurant. It was not packed from what we could see. In our area there were 4 other tables of 2 and our table of 4- all staggered, hardly a rush. Up until this meal we have had good food but service can be hit and miss. WHAT.A.DISASTER. Joan Mason previously regular customer. Contact details on your system.

4. North Lodge
Overall Ratings
2.5 based on 13 reviews
Disgusting, unsafe, DO NOT STAY HERE
Reviewed By sslsettzlThe bed was comfortable. The water was hot. End of compliments....Bath took a half hour to fill. Shower was blocked and nearly overflowed. Mould on the window. When i stripped the bed before leaving as I always do ,we found the duvet was stained with pee or god knows what. Bed slats broken. Dirt under the bed behind the door. Light switch not screwed in. Wallpaper peeling off. This place needs shutting down. No bowls for ceral. Complete maintenance makeover needed and a decent cleaner. From the images on booking site it appears you are staying in a lodge. YOU ARE NOT. It is an old house split into 3. We stayed in the one bedroom part.
