Awake most of the night with the sounds of music downstairs, food was ok, nothing spectacular, best part of our stay was the pool.

I was a customer at the hotel on 17 December. Horrified. This place is an Omicrum hub! Staff were wearing masks - often below their nose or chin; NO vaccination status required for entry, or lateral flow requirement. The place was packed, and customers moving around
the hotel were mostly without masks. Get real Canal Court and take more care of your staff and customers. Won't be back
. Pity, as the hotel itself is
lovely.

Canal court is a very nice place to dine in. The Sunday carvery is lovely and the bar food is delicious aswell. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I'd say it's the nice place to eat out.

Stopped off here for breakfast on our drive down from Belfast to Dublin. What a great find. Beats any cafe or motorway services for a relaxing break. Wide choice from the continental and cooked breakfast menu. Very welcoming staff. Service was faultless and quality of food was excellent. Only minor criticism was that the baked beans weren't very warm, which appears to be very common in many cafes and restaurants. Price was also very cheap compared with UK and Eire prices. Unbelievable value. Hotel would be a great place for a short stay.

I have been a few times! The food is always delicious and the staff are very polite and welcoming. There are a few bars around as well. I have only ever come here for food, so this review is based in that only.

We were delighted to find that the Sunday carvery lunch has re started. It's been a long time since we were last there.

We were brought to a table but still queued for our food.

The food was quite good, but another £1 has been added to the cost (now £12) for a main course - probably to cover for the extra costs arising from Covid - and at £4.20 for a pint of Guinness and the VAT relief until January next - they might do well but price hikes are risky as customers may feel sore.

A second lock down though would be disastrous.

I hope now with Covid that the owners will very soon find

Haven't stayed in the Canal Court hotel part itself, never had a need to stay in Newry but the opportunities I've had to see the rooms they seem nice and clean.

On the whole I've had plenty of meals here and hung around the bars, and all definitely enjoyable. I've never had an issue with the food, always served hot and timely, and the bars never have a bad vibe. Always lively and you don't feel as if you're getting turned out by anyone going out of their way to cause trouble or make the visit feel unpleasant. The last time I was here was last night actually - grabbed

Our tour moved to this hotel when everything in Belfast became booked. Staff went the extra mile and the food was very good- dinner and breakfast. Hotel was very clean and the lounge areas and reception were handsome. Many places downtown close early but everything you need is here.

Traditional hotel with comfortable and spacious rooms and multiple dining and bar bite options. They serve breakfast which is included in the rate. The staff is friendly and accommodating. They also have a spa on premises and parking. The decor for the public spaces could use some refreshing but it does have a traditional charm. It's convenient if you find yourself doing business in Newry.

Not a bad hotel at all, though I never saw the bill(wife took care of it). Great for someone who doesn't want to try something more "unique" and is looking for consistency. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were very quiet. The parking was a bit rough when we first arrived but we didn't have a problem for the rest of the trip. I can imagine the parking gets really bad during the summer.

Wi-Fi did not work well, as I presume they had a poor configuration and ran out of IP addresses at some point during the day. We were able to connect the next day without issue.

Had to work at a conference at the Canal Court Hotel, and I must say that apart from that I like the look of the place. A nice entrance to an opulent lobby with a sweeping staircase as a big feature, the hotel certainly 'looks the part'.

The room the conference was being held in was a large hall which on a cold day outside, was still a pleasant temperature, no mean feat!

Lunch was a buffet styled affair with standard stroganoff or curry and rice. Over cooked chicken unfortunately did the curry no justice. A pity as the dining room / restaurant is very light and nicely laid out.

The Canal Court in Newry is suprisingly huge!

Made my way here for a class meeting and enjoyed one thing about it: The Bar.

Spent several hours in a small, somewhat dingy-looking room (Mourne Suite) with two strangely-positioned skylights which forced us to keep the blinds closed. There was also a wedding going on so while we were discussing ancient Greek vases, we could hear the DJ sound check with repeated clips of "I Gotta Feeling" for about half an hour in surround-sound followed by what sounded like a childrens' 'day care' going on nextdoor (?) Very poor planning

As a Newry girl born and raised, I've been to the Canal Court for formals, weddings, staff-do's, lunches etc, but I've never before stayed over, until last night.

It was, hands down, one of the best hotels I've stayed in, I can't recommend this place enough!

- Staff were fantastic at every stage, from check in, to check out, room service staff to breakfast staff they were all friendly, helpful and really pleasant.

- Room was pretty huge, bed was massive (I was in a different postcode to the hubby!!) it was clean, comfortable and they had extra bedding in the cupboard

We ended up getting a wee cheap deal for an overnight stay here last year. It's not far from Belfast, and we could have gone home, and we also have friends in Newry we could have stayed with, but it was quite nice to be somewhere different and do our own thing. We got our room for less than £100 for the night, and we had breakfast with that also, which I though was a very good deal considering it really is a nice hotel - although a bit of a labyrinth to get through sometimes - it's easy to get lost. Our room was clean and pleasant, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was tasty
