The hotel is ideally situated for those who enjoy hiking and walking with easy access to popular routes and scenic areas.

Breakfast

The breakfast at Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa is made to order and guests rave about its quality and selection. With full waiter service and beautifully presented options, it's an exceptional start to the day. However, a few guests did note limited choices or less-than-perfect execution (such as cold sauce, limp toast, or dry food). Overall, the dining room is pleasant and the staff is attentive, making for a lovely breakfast experience.

Dinner

The dinner offerings at the Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa are a mix of outstanding and overpriced meals. Some guests reported the dinner inclusive deals as expensive with limited options and small portions. However, the exceptional staff and superb food quality make up for the shortcomings in the limited dinner menu. The restaurant is lovely for dinner, but there's no casual dining or bar menu on offer. Some of the guests enjoyed the fine dining experience, but some found it too pricey for their liking. Nevertheless, all meals eaten in the restaurant were reported as excellent and delicious, specifically the exceptional quality of the meals presented in three courses. The vegetarian tart was the only dish that wasn't up to the price tag's standard. Breakfast and dinner were both a very good standard, but some guests reported the bathroom needing updating with user-friendly baths and showers. Overall, the restaurant food was delicious and the exceptional quality of the meals in the restaurant made up for the limited dinner offerings, plus the additional surcharges on some dishes seemed unnecessary.

Rooms

Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa is a recently refurbished hotel with beautiful spa facilities and lovely gardens. Guests can choose from a variety of rooms ranging from deluxe and ground floor to first floor rooms. Though some guests found several rooms to be a bit small and tired, many rooms were described as comfortable and well-equipped with nice views and lovely balconies. The decor in some rooms was a bit bland with mattresses pushed together and missing toiletries, but the beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Some guests experienced noise from creaky floors or refrigerators, while others enjoyed the lounge area, great shower and beautiful suites. Although breakfast had good quality, the service was slow at times and some items were missing. There were also reports of outdated bathrooms, mold on bath panels and water damage. On the other hand, guests appreciated the car park and paths (though the paths were reportedly not good for wheelchairs) and were able to upgrade their rooms for special occasions. Overall, the hotel proved to be a beautiful location with comfortable and clean rooms, lovely staff and great facilities.

Beds

The beds at Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa appear to be a mixed bag with some guests raving about their gloriously comfortable and very comfy mattresses.

Despite this, many guests still praised the quality of the sheets and pillows. In fact, one guest loved their bed so much that they were considering buying the same mattress for their own home! Overall, while there seems to be some variation in the quality of the beds, the food and staff at the hotel received consistently high marks.
