Independent hotels in Portlaoise, County Laois

"Beautiful hotel with excellent staff and bar service. I also loved the spa! Pure bliss!"

"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."
