Basic room, clean and large, but the heating system consists of an air con unit which provides warm air really, just not cosy at all, in fact i was shivering in the room most of the time. staff were nice, breakfast was lovely. the reception, dining room and halls are lovely, but i expected rooms would be a little more...

We stayed for two nights for a birthday weekend and having read the harsh reviews on this site we were anxious about what we would find on arrival.The hotel is perfectly situated in the centre of Mullingar and there is ample parking at the rear of the hotel for a small cost.We were checked in by the very welcoming and...

We booked a quad room. Lovely room.. very clean & comfortable. The receptionist Kerry couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely breakfast in the room (for an additional fee - totally worth it!) The bad reviews on here do not match anything we saw at the hotel. It was excellent in every way! Would recommend it to anyone.

We were greeted at reception and offered a drink on arrival then shown to our room with our bags already delivered to our room. We were given travel advice of the town and its surroundings and...

I am writing this from the luxury of a comfy warm bed in The Mullingar Park Hotel, a comfort looking at previous reviews I don't think I would have enjoyed at Austin Friar Hotel. This property was the single worst hotel I have had the experience of using - in any country or county, Ireland or abroad.. I say using... More

I couldn't believe the set up of this "hotel" when we arrived. There was no one at reception to tend to us. When we eventually got to the room it was more like a hostel than anything else. The bathroom was like something from the 1940's with no hot water. I was appalled I asked for a double room and... More
