Unable to check in at 4pm and had to wait for the room to be cleaned. Breakfast does not start until 8am which is quite late and this was not communicated to me at check in, I arrived at breakfast at 7:15 only to be told to wait until 8am.

Best thing about this place is the bed and reception staff. Bed was incredibly huge and comfortable. Reception staff were great, helpful and understanding.

Sadly that's it. The pool area, changing rooms and surrounding areas very unhighenic. Lots was also out of order, the steam room and jacuzzi for example. Broken hairdryers and lockers in the changing rooms. Drinks and dinner was expensive but service was pretty bad. I struggled to get served at the bar while the staff were busy arguing with eachother.

Thankfully the reception manager took the outstanding bill off for us when we left as we were so disappointed with our stay.

This place is currently undergoing renovations. The lobby is looking much better, but the brooms are very old and dated. We particularly dislike the bathrooms. Here’s a picture of our bathroom. The glass enclosure won’t stay shut causing water to lay on the floor. The body wash is empty. The shower controls require a manual to operate. Even the counter sink has old-style faucets. On a positive note, the gym was spacious and well-equipped. However, the only towels available in the gym are meant for the pool, you need to buzz an attendant to get in and the tv screen in front of the exercise bikes is a lovely shade of blue. Tip: If you’re going to have the tv on with no sound it’s nice to turn closed captioned on so people exercising don’t have to lip read. The morning breakfast was basic but nice although someone asked to verify our room number three times. The dining area felt a bit clinical kind of like a seniors home. Downtown Westport was a 15 minute walk away but over a hiily street.

Undergoing a refurbishment so quite noisy and dusty in places. We had one of the older rooms but new ones looked nice. Buffet breakfast probably the worst over our last several stops. It was not kept topped up and what was there was hard and dried out. With a few other people I asked for some more eggs which also came out hard and dry. A decent hilly walk to get into town.

The Staff were nice. The breakfasts were excellent! The room was super spacious. Water, coffee, tea and cookie snacks always offered in room. King size bed was good. Nice property on a lakeside view. Nice bar/lounge area. Large and many lounging areas. Spa requires swim caps so bring one! They do sell them €3.50. Hot Tub was in repair stage. Did not use the spa or pool as no time and do not like swim caps…. Property is huge with lots a grass and trees. A 15 minute walk town area and 10 minute walk to Quay area. Pleasant quiet location.

I absolutely loved my stay at Westport Woods Hotel and Spa! It’s in such a charming area right by the quay, with plenty of walkable dining options and a small grocery store just around the corner. The staff were incredible - so welcoming and helpful. Everything was very clean, the buffet breakfast was top notch, and the pool, sauna, and steam room were a lovely bonus. It was the perfect place to reset and recharge after staying in hostels. I would absolutely stay here again!

This is a nice hotel - large reception with lots of seating areas, big restaurant/bar area, spa, beautiful grounds, walkable to the quay area for restaurants, and a long but doable walk to town. Mary at the front desk was very nice and gracious when we checked in and through our stay. Some negatives - the property and the rooms are showing some signs of age and wear. Carpets need refreshing. We found our bedroom to be spacious. Breakfast was a bit better than average, although the breakfast staff seemed inexperienced and not as well trained as in many hotel restaurants. No decaf coffee ?? The dinner dining room staff were much better - excellent and attentive.

So disappointed this beautiful hotel has become so run down and delapidated- amazing setting - fabulous potential but very disappointing overall/ caters to over 55 / nearer to 70/ like visiting old peoples home?? Poor level of cleanliness- pool area unacceptable- jacuzzi used by 4 elderly men through out my time at beach club experience- staff totally disinterested as these men continued to press jacuzzi button - monopolising jacuzzi for themselves to detriment of other guests- and in contravention of health guidance- probably pissed in jacuzzi as well- given amount of time they remained in jacuzzi- oblivious to others in vicinity who would have appreciated being able to use jacuzzi- but given previous concerns- decided not such a good idea- really-the whole experience was nothing short of just awful- left hotel and went to Wyatt- in centre town- fabulous atmosphere food and entertainment- returned later that evening to the Westport Woods/ bar area just like a retirement home- two older men playing and dinging on guitar- woeful!!breakfast next morning reasonable/ opted for vegetarian- someone needs to explain chef what a poached egg should look like- not dry and hard boiled- definitely won’t be back- so disappointing and awful !!!

Stayed here for a week as a base to mooch around Mayo where my family roots are. Hotel decor is a little tired here and there but that did not affect our enjoyment or not make hotel VFM. Lots of friendly local/Irish staff, which I think helps to add warmth to the atmosphere and is perhaps unusual for this size of hotel - perhaps because of Westport’s size? Food is great. Had been meaning to climb Croagh Patrick for a while and finally got round to it this time. This is not for the feint-hearted and is very long and steep - no one mentioned this to me before - maybe because it’s a pilgrimage/penance thing - it’s not meant to be easy. But it’s near enough a scramble in places - never come across a ‘tourist’ track so challenging before. Pick a good day weather-wise, dress appropriately and take plenty of water. If you’ve got sticks use them. Some climbers were rocking up looking as if they’d just stepped out of the pub - this hill needs a bit more respect than that imho. Mayo is my favourite place in the world - enjoy! Slan.

Let down by breakfast time.

Great place to stay with friendly staff. The only thing that let it down was the morning breakfast. There was a large group in just before us and we were shown to a table which was promptly cleared and cleaned for us. We then got up to get some food from the buffet. We returned to our table holding our food only to find that another waitress had seated people on our given table. We were then shown to another dirty table. Not impressed by this system of seating guests. The plates for hot food were cold meaning our food was soon cold too
