Brogans Bar & Hotel

*Brogans of Trim Review* . Date of Stay:17-03-2024. Cost: €165.60 Room Only. My wife and I stayed in Brogans of Trim for one night. We checked into our room around 4 pm. A nice clean room with a very comfortable bed. We decided to go for dinner in the restaurant from a simple menu which we both decided to order the chicken curry from. The menu stated that vegetable curry or chicken curry was €17.00, rice and chips were included, and you could “add chicken to your chicken curry for another €3.50”. It was €41.00 for 2 chicken curry’s which seemed quite expensive. Although a small portion it was quite nice. After dinner, we had a walk around Trim where the atmosphere was buzzing with people enjoying the St Patrick’s Day celebrations. We decided to make our way back to our room No:9, which is located in the courtyard. This area is actually a large beer garden with a covered in area with a television and speakers located throughout. There are tables and benches immediately outside the doors and windows of the courtyard rooms which means it quiet noisy Some people were standing smoking outside the doorway of our room, and when we entered the room, unfortunatley the smoke followed us. We approached reception, which was unmanned, I then went into the hall area were I met the lady who checked us in, I asked if there might be a room available that would be a bit quieter that myself and my wife just wanted to relax. The lady replied “You picked the wrong day to come if you want to relax.” She told me to wait in reception and she will check to see if there is something more suitable. A few minutes later another lady came to reception and told us “that it says on the website that there could be noise” and “that no matter were we go today is going to be the same” I disagreed with this and the lady then suggested that we try room No: 12 as it was upstairs or "I can move them away from your door" which was a strange suggestion as it would leave my wife and I open to being met with annoyance. We decided to have a look at room No 12 and made our way to the door of room 12, where we had to ask a gentleman to move his stool so we could access the door. On inspection of the room, it was exactly the same noise, but it was a much smaller room / bed and bathroom. We decided to stay in room No:9, and again had to ask the gentleman to move his stool so we could get back out the door of room No:12. We dropped the key card for room No:12 back to an unmanned reception. We went to the room to watch some Television and within minutes some young children began to play immediately outside the door, there was a venetian type blind on the window of the door and it is totally inadequate as the children were peering into the room to us. We decided to go for a walk and return later when hopefully the children were home in their beds. When we returned, the place was in great spirits, and we sat and enjoyed the atmosphere for a bit. At 9 p.m., we decided to retire

Six of us stayed in Brogans last night. A very satisfactory experience. Lovely food, very friendly Staff and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The icing on the cake was the music. A husband & wife team called Platinum. Fantastic. We will be back.

Went in here yesterday for lunch. First of all we were immediately annoyed at the people at the bar watching videos on a phone at full blast. This is incredibly rude and entitled and I feel staff should have asked them to turn it down. We were starving so we put up with it. The young guy who served us was pleasant and helpful. However..I asked for a glass of mi-wadi, when he brought it out I noticed the glass was filthy. Not just water marks but actual lipstick. I feel sick even thinking about it. I asked for a clean one. He brought another one, it was slightly better but still filthy. This is enough for me to never darken the door again. If they can’t provide clean glasses then what else are they neglecting in cleanliness. My ploughman’s was ok, but the bread felt a bit stale and I couldn’t stomach it. Nicer and cleaner places in Trim to go, wouldn’t bother with this place.

Clean but very outdated, door on room was broken only closed when locked, room up over the smoking area very noisy. Shower is a heath hazard it was scalding or freezing would definitely not let a child into it. People banging on door at 4 in the morning shouting would definitely not recommend!!!

Stayed a night in this place, no water to drink and the milk for coffe/tea was gone off. I even turned on the cold water from sink to drink and it was warm. Room was a box bedroom the bed took up the whole room I had to slide to get to the bed. Shower was rotten so didn't bother with that, view was the top of a shed. Nobody ever at reception so I just left my card on desk, no breakfast included and I paid €160. The lockers at bed all paint ripped off. Never again and a massive rip off , I've stayed in better for less.

Had a family meal and it was delicious. I found staff were friendly. Later, as we kicked back over final coffee and drinks, a band began playin 80's songs, which finished our night off very nicely. Next time we might just book some rooms too and enjoy a few drinks!

My best friend and I spent two nights at Brogan's during our road trip around Ireland, and we had an excellent stay. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the service from the owner and staff was awesome. We enjoyed our breakfast each day and were very happy overall. If we find our way back to Ireland, we most certainly would stay here again.

Just back from a fri/sat night stay ..very good hotel ..only thing missing was rockshore or budweiser on draught .. they have everything else ..staff were friendly ..Great entertainment on both nights no need to go anywhere else if you choose to ..room was big and very clean.its a busy and noisy hotel but didnt bother us .food was pricey same as dublin prices but was Delicious ..breakfast was excellent each morning ..five min walk from trim castle and loads of quirkey pubs and coffee shops two min walk great little town ! We will definatly be returning ..not the cheapest place to book .or eat /drink but top quality 👌

The staff were friendly, room was OK, potential to be a much nicer stay. The first room we were checked into was never cleaned after the last guest, bed messy, rubbish on counter etc. The second room we were checked into had guests already in it! Thankfully we walked in on nothing embarrassing. Eventually we were checked into a single bed room temporarily until they had time to clean the first room. The family we were travelling with had to return to reception numerous times as there were issues with the room cards not working. Quite a few guests called to counter while we were there with the same issue. Beds were comfortable, room was compact but all amenities were there. The restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast. Hallways were noisy at night but we were out late so we didn't mind. Won't be staying again but hopefully housekeeping improves soon!
