Independent hotels in Emo, Portlaoise

"This is a great place to get away. The hosts are amazing! Great shops within 20min and a beautiful property. If going far, take a taxi to the train station, taxis are very expensive."

"Excellent stay again at the Silken Thomas. Lovely place, room and area. Great shopping at Kildare Village Retail Outlet and good local sights to see. Used train into Dublin which was easy to get tickets and journey was good."

"Friendly, clean , quiet and comfortable accommodation with a delicious breakfast."

"I made a late day reservation at this hotel while traveling through Newbridge. When I arrived the front desk host was incredibly friendly and she informed me that she had upgraded me to a suite. I thought maybe that meant a couch/living area in addition to a bedroom but I was wrong - it was the bridal suite! I had my own little apartment! Living room, dining room, dressing room, bedroom, TWO bathrooms - if it just had a kitchen someone could live there! The 'master' bathroom was amazing - huge, wonderful shower and even a standalone tub if you want to relax. The bed was also very comfortable. I got in too late to eat in the restaurant but breakfast the next morning was very good. The grounds are also very lovely and there are several amenities available through the attached leisure center. I will definitely be staying here again if I find myself in the area and I would highly recommend it to all travelers."

"Excellent service, great room which was spotless and well furnished. Great night’s sleep. Food in bar was also exceptional. Good parking at rear of property. "

"Everything was amazing, beautiful property!"

"Beautiful old house with large bedroom. Very comfortable bed (one of the best out of 14 hotels) which was much needed due to the jet lag. Wonderful staff and walkable village shops and pubs "
