Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is great regret I have to write this on trip advisor. But after numerous phone calls and no response via email by the GM I have no other option. This was my first and last time visiting this hotel as a business guest. I have no issue with the room whatsoever bit the restaurant food and service is one of the poorest I've ever seen in a hotel. And I've travelled the world quite extensively. I ordered the chicken and noodle stir fry but what I got was more like chicken and noodle soup. It was absolutely caked in soy sauce which filled most of the bowl. I eat some of the dish but then asked the waiter to take it back and I gave my feedback. Breakfast the next day was an absolute disaster. Ordered a full irish with scrambled eggs 30 secs later the same waiter came back with half irish breakfast with fried egg. Stated to the waiter that you just took my order so how can you get it wrong within 30 secs. Anyway I started reading my emails and noticed 20 mins had gone by and still no breakfast. I told the restaurant manager I ordered breakfast a while ago. She apologised but then came back with the wrong order again. She apologised again and said she would change it. I told her to leave it as I was so Hungary at that stage but it was cold. At that point I just walked out the restaurant.

The staff are all amazing! Another stay here and as always the team really do an outstanding job. On this stay I managed to lose my AirPods somewhere between my room and the gym and Yasmin at reception and silvia in the housekeeping team could not have done more to help me find them - and they did! I had accidentally dropped them in the towel basket in the gym and Silvia found them. Thank you again! I always get a special welcome to the hotel with a friendly hello and requests for me to contact them if I need anything at all - Special mention to Sarah, Ciaran, Christian, Yasmin & all the team at reception. A great team. The food is always top class here and the breakfast is excellent. The evening bar team always look after me so well with my usual table set aside for me and everything I need looked after - special call out to Conor for that who always goes above and beyond to take care of me. The rooms are always spotless with the comfiest beds. Housekeeping do a great job here. Highly recommend the Gateway Hotel Dundalk - a fantastic addition to the iNUA collection.

I checked out of this kip early after one night ,first room we were given was freezing cold and the heater was blowing out cold air ,1 hour and 20 minutes after checking in we settled in to the second room which was fine ,until we tried to sleep an extractor fan from another room was on all night even with ear plugs in we couldn't sleep ,I rang reception twice during the night and nothing was done,as we packed our bags I noticed a dirty wet towel on the bathroom sink,the night manager apologised and said it was just a fan,I explain to him that I have stayed in lots of hotels over the years and I have never been unable to sleep because of a fan before,the noise was excessive the room was dirty and our weekend away was ruined an we were leaving a day early and that was all down to the room we were given,I have never checked out early from a hotel before,I was charged 99 euro for a noise dirty room and a ruined weekend, Hell will freeze over before I set foot in that dump again,if you want a relaxing night away stay well clear of this DUMP.

Went for Sunday lunch at The Gateway. There was a great atmosphere with a nice buzz in the bar & restaurant. Even though it was busy, the staff seemed on top of things and were all very efficient and pleasant. We were shown to our seats by a friendly, cheerful server called Aidan. He came across as being very experienced and even took the time to check on us during our meal. The food itself was lovely and reasonably priced too. Will definitely return again soon for the great food and hopefully to come across Aidan again too.
