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.

We were part of a family gathering after an Anniversary Mass. The Gleeson family always look after their guests so well. It is absolutely a home from home. We were made feel welcome from the start, in a pleasant room with the fire glowing. Generous pots of tea, fresh sandwiches and a variety of finger food were served without delay, followed by Mince Pies and cream. -delicious. Thank you so much Mary.

Outstanding visit to Gleesons. We didn’t have a booking but we’re lucky enough to get a table for a family of four. The decor is lovely and gives the place a very calm atmosphere. Each and every member of staff that we met were all so friendly and the service was very quick. The menu had a great variety and there was something for everyone. We found the prices to be very reasonable and portion sizes were generous. The food was so tasty, I had the curry and I could have licked the plate, it was so tasty. The chunky chips were also fab. All 4 of us really enjoyed our meals and said it was our favourite meal on our holiday in Roscommon. We would highly recommend Glessons.

We visited Gleesons as part of a tour group for a prearranged meal. Gleesons sent us a menu beforehand and all our tour group had decided what they would eat and this information was given to the restaurant earlier on the day. We were under very tight time constraints. When we arrived our tables were ready. Our first course arrived instantly and the same with the following courses. We were all catered for without a hitch. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. The wonderful staff made sure we all had eaten within our time schedule. Many thanks to Gleesons Restaurant for a wonderful meal and service Williamstown Heritage Society.

Honestly when you try to help a restaurant when you feel like you have been short changed but the management is too snotty to take the critisism without telling you to vote with your feet and take your business elsewhere. I used to go to Gleesons townhouse for that seafood chowder and they first few times it was really good. There was plenty of fish and really creamy. However recently you have to go fish for the fish and I pointed this out privately to the manager just to be told to vote with feet and go elsewhere. This I intend to do and will now recommend that customers do the same. There was no need to speak to a customer like that especially when I was pointing out that they could maybe put some veg into it. It is now like a watery souo and certainly not value for money. So do yourself a favour and do as the manager told me and vote with your feet and go elsewhere

Dear Joe -We sent you a very courteous reply by email in response to your email. You will note that we did not tell you to vote with your feet, instead we said we respect your right to do so, and we stand by that comment. This is the exact e mail we sent you – " Dear Joe, Thank you for your ongoing custom and for taking the time to write to us. We have been using the same traditional recipe for our Seafood Chowder for many years and we haven’t altered it in any way. The fish is put in by weight to ensure there is a good balanced combination of white fish, smoked fish and shellfish. We don’t add any cheaper ingredients such as root vegetables to bulk it up, we let the fish be the star of the show. We also use real cream to enhance the flavour. We are very sorry you felt the chowder had changed but we can assure you this isn’t the case. We would very much regret losing you as a customer but respect your right to vote with your feet, Wishing you all the very best, We also forwarded you the exact recipe we use. We are proud of our chowder and get constant positive feedback on it from customers and guests. One TA review states “The seafood chowder was probably the best we’ve had anywhere.” We respect your right to your opinion but we also have the right not to agree with you, Wishing you all the best in your culinary travels.

Myself and members of my family stayed at Gleeson’s Roscommon for 5 nights from March 31st. This is a family run business which welcomes a range of people from countries across the world. The accommodation is finished to a high standard, breakfast is included. The small restaurant also serves lunches and evening meals. There is a variety of choices on the menu from breakfast through to evening meals. All the staff were helpful, friendly and courteous……..my elderly parents were made to feel “at home”. Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at this “Little Gem” for anyone wanting to explore the West of Ireland.

We recently had our 3rd Baptism party in Gleeson’s and each occasion has just been perfection!From the first meeting with Mary to discuss the menu to Colette in reception ringing us in advance to make sure they had everything we needed they have always been so efficient. We are a family with a handful of kids and the function room at the back lends itself perfectly to any occasion. Not to mention the food which was excellent. The waiters were so efficient and professional as well as being great with all the kids that were sitting down to eat! The star of the show is Pauline who is so kind and knowledge of what a family occasion needs. We will 100% be back for future events! I can’t recommended it enough! Thank you for making our family events so memorable and relaxing!

we had lunch, drinks, room and breakfast. I am going to say that the hotel is faded charm and luxury - but that is not a criticism. The overall effect is homely and warm and welcoming. I heard that they are redoing the bathrooms, and although that is great I do hope they don't make them characterless and sterile. That would be a completely alien effect to the rest of the hotel. if you're looking for corporate, faceless luxury this isn't for you. if you're looking for a warm, genuine, human welcoming space it very much is. Lunch was ok. the steak, medium rare was much more rare than medium. The lasagne had one sheet of lasagne pasta, no layers and was far too tomatoey for my taste but others may have liked it. the portion was also small. Breakfast was a very familiar menu. there was fruit and water on the bar to help yourself. however there was no help yourself cereal, or fruit juices or diced fruit. scrambled eggs were nice and the brown bread - which i think is their own - was delicious. Parking was an issue, there just isn't enough. Although there were electric charging points. I'd like there to be 3 and a half stars to represent good, its not very good due to the parking shortage and the food not being anything other than average.

Dear Mouseman, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We take all feedback seriously, whether positive or negative & I can’t tell you how much pleasure your email gave our family & staff . It is a wonderful endorsement of our business and our team, particularly at a time like this which is so tough in the hospitality industry. Gleesons is a small family business with a small, tight group of employees. Our aim is to give genuine hospitality to every guest, and I am delighted that your experience was exactly as we want it to be. This experience of genuine hospitality was evidenced by our inclusion in the Sunday Times 100 Great Places to Stay 2024. We were disappointed to read that you felt our food was “average “ . The customers interpretation of a medium rare steak & a rare steak is a very fine line. Our staff would have gladly taken the steak back to the kitchen & cooked it further to your satisfaction . We have used the same recipe for Lasagna for years & indeed it our most popular dish . Also, we provide a full service breakfast & our staff would have provided you with any cereal or porridge of your choice on request Parking is an issue in any town centre & we are lucky enough to have 15 private parking places for our guests & customers .They are allocated on a first come basis .However, there are 140 FREE parking spaces in the New Town Car park just beside our car park . Access is through the pedestrian gate in our car park .We would be delighted to welcome you back to Gleesons in the near future and I would love to be there to welcome you personally. Yours Sincerely Cáit Gleeson

The restaurant ambience was superb, properly lit, heated and spacious. Attentive staff who checked in regularly with you. I got the beef 🍔 which I found a little bit disappointing as beef patee was was smaller than the brioche bun. The fries were really very average however, the wings were very tasty.

We hope to welcome you back soon so we can provide you with an all-around fantastic experience. If there’s anything specific you’d like to try on your next visit, we’d love to hear from you.

Cheerful lady on reception and everyone from housekeeping to staff in the restaurant were lovely - makes such a difference when they are all friendly and pleasant ! The room was lovely and the bed really comfortable. I ate downstairs in the restaurant and the food was lovely. I was leaving too early for breakfast, but at their suggestion, they dropped a continental tray up to my room the night before - meant I could start my day with juice / cereal, fruit and a cup of tea ! I recommend and I will def stay here again when I am working in Roscommon. This would also be a good base if you are on holidays ... lots of things to do within an hours drive.

Our first evening out after lockdown was a great experience thanks to the lovely staff at Gleesons. Welcome was warming, outdoor dining area is super, simple but well arranged, heated canopies. Service was excellent, the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Quality of food was top notch. Food was served hot! Very reasonably priced. Thanks to all at Gleesons , we had a great visit 👍

Our group of adults ( including 2 wheelchair users) had a wonderful lunch today. Delicious food, excellent value, lovely ambience, and such friendly welcoming staff. A lovely gesture was adding some Christmas crackers to our table when we said we were out for our Christmas outing. Thank you to all for making our lunch outing so perfect - we would definitely recommend to others

Disappointed with our visit to Gleesons today. My fish was bland. Husband and son’s chicken goujon caeser salad was dry, very little dressing. We’ve been many times and this time it wasn’t great.

Conveniently located in the heart of Roscommon town, Gleeson's is within walking distance of beautiful old churches, Roscommon Castle, shops and many other eateries. They have parking behind the building. The rooms are being renovated, one by one, but there was no construction noise while I was there. Try and get a renovated room; nice new showers. Rooms over the kitchen can be a bit noisy so if you are a light sleeper or early to bed, I would recommend you ask for a room not over the kitchen. The restaurant is very good. The management, wait and housekeeping staff were all very pleasant. I would stay here again.

Spent Saturday night on the 12th August 2023 in Gleesons which was fabulous and so welcoming. Staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. We Stayed in the Kilmartin Suite which was a truly beautiful room and was excellent value for money.

Overall this restaurant is very inviting, comfortable, spacious, cosy and clean. Plenty of tables and seating in a lovely environment. It has a home from home feel and lovely decor. We enjoyed a lovely lunch from a very extensive menu plenty of choices to suit all tastes and generous portions. What makes this restaurant a great choice for dining be it either a business meeting or a casual meeting of friends is without question the attention given by the staff. We enjoyed a birthday gathering of friends and we felt like vip's as our every choice and taste was met with great efficiency not to mention a beautiful surprise at the end of our meal with " Happy birthday" sung by the staff carrying out desert and candles! We did not expect this at all which put a smile on our faces, just goes to show there are still people in this world who will go the extra mile to give customer satisfaction, it was very much appreciated by us and the birthday girls! We cannot recommend this restaurant enough! We also left with lots of lovely baked goods too!
