  Excellent facilities in a pleasant town

  20 Jul 2024

  Loar has three kinds of accommodation - hotel/suites in one building and apartments and studios is the adjoining building. The buildings are seamless on he ground floor but separate lifts service the two buildings. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which has a balcony big enough for two chairs so great for looking at the comings and goings of locals and their families and what was going on in the square. The 12 apartments have outward facing balconies whereas the studios face the rear. I think it is worth the extra cost to have an apartment as we spent a fair amount of time just enjoying the atmosphere of the town. I don't know about the hotel rooms as we much prefer the space of an apartment and the flexibility to cook our own meals and snacks.The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The highlight was the roof terrace with views, loungers, lovely pool and jacuzzi. There is also an indoor heated pool which was a bit awkward to access as unless the restaurant was open the only way in was via a spiral fire escape. Being able to choose which pool you fancied was a real treat and we mostly had the roof terrace to ourselves.The town itself had no real must-sees for tourists but it was a convenient base to explore the island. Although Loar does not offer parking we always found a space within a few minutes' walk. There are enough places to eat and drink with three decent sized supermarkets, a butcher and fishmonger if you wanted to cook. The apartment facilities made this easy. It is quite surprising to have such a large establishment in an inland town but it seemed quite busy and the bar & restaurant were popular.I certainly recommend Loar and Ferreries. Staying in a central town worked well for us. Don't hesitate to stop at a cheese producer, signposted everywhere. Mahon cheese is excellent.

  Perfectly adequate and great value

  12 May 2023

  We only had the one night here as it was one of several hotels we used on the Cami de Cavalls which is a walking tour of the whole island First impressions were very good.. modern bright and airy and check-in was completed quickly with no fuss with a very nice receptionist who explained the hotel facilities such as the two swimming pools and how breakfast worked We had a studio apartment which was fine but may have proved a little cramped if staying for a week or two.. it was all spotlessly clean and a good standard The bathroom was the same, with the shower actually turning out to be the best so far. We did use the indoor pool which was fine so didn’t see the rooftop one as it was raining that day. Whilst we both agreed the apartment was lovely, as was the comfy bed, neither of us slept well due to the general noise going on throughout the night. This wasn’t helped with laminated floors in the corridors or the sizeable gap around the room door meaning any sound went straight through it. Breakfast was…. Ok , which is fine but suspect most may make their own if staying here a while.. we also ate in the bar for our evening meal which was good and fantastic value for money

  Central Location

  27 Aug 2022

  This hotel is very centrally located on the island, making it especially desirable if renting a car and wanting to explore each region of the island as we did. With just a 10-30 minute drive you can easily access pretty much anywhere on the island. Parking was only available on side streets, but fairly easy to figure out and convenient. Bus service runs through town for those who don’t have access to a car.We stayed in a studio apartment (#103) which made our three week stay especially pleasant. The twin beds were adequate, though perhaps a bit on the hard side. The balcony overlooked an inner courtyard area with a view of the hills in the distance. The kitchen was fully equipped with dishes, pots and pans, cutlery, dish soap, cloths and more. The fridge/freezer worked great and allowed us to be prepared with frozen water bottles prior to each of our beach days and hiking treks. The bathroom was beautifully remodelled. Housekeeping staff kept the room impeccably clean and tidy each and every day.The rooftop pool and jacuzzi were lovely, with a spectacular view of the town and surrounding hills. Tables and loungers were available for use.The reception desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Maria Angeles, Fabian and Deri for your hospitality. They certainly set the tone for our stay with their friendly greetings upon our comings and goings and tourist tips. We were especially grateful to Deri (one of the owners) who graciously accommodated our late request for visiting friends to have a suite near us for their time with us. We ate a few times at the attached bar restaurant. Prices were very reasonable, with generous portions of delicious food. One of our favorite parts of this location was the opportunity to be at the center of a real town community rather than the seasonal tourist towns. Just steps away from the hotel was the town square with surrounding shops and restaurants, live music and dancing, a gelato shop and pastesserie. It was a unique and joyous experience to be able to soak in a different community and culture.We would not hesitate to return and we would highly recommend this hotel and location, especially to those who rent a car and want to explore. Loar Ferreries is a wonderful “home base” while on holidays!

  Disappointed

  22 Dec 2021

  Receptionists were not always present and not the friendliest. Breakfast was a HUGE disappointment, the so-called "buffet" (a couple of trays with cold meats and cheese, hard bread and day-old pastries) was absolutely laughable, upon request we did get eggs and bacon (unwillingly), coffe and juice. We complained, they explained they don't open the restaurant in "low season". They should state it so in the web and here, point out it is breakfast "a la carte" (and that is a stretch) in winter. Very clean property but staff not willing and very poor breakfast.

  Convenient hub for outdoors travelling, with plenty of good restaurants

  30 Dec 2019

  We stayed at the apartamentos side of the hotel. Convenient, practical and clean accommodation for e.g. headquarters for hiking trip. Nice kitchenette and clean bathroom, good beds and self-service laundry. Plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby.One note on noise. When the restaurant closed, they moved tables around, creating quite a lot of noise for a while, transferred suprisingly well through structures.
