Bloomfield House Hotel celebrate winning national award

The team at Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club and Spa are celebrating after winning gold at the annual Irish Accommodation Services Institute awards. The hotel received the honour for housekeeping excellence in the nationwide four-star category at the finals.

Angelika Zawadzka, accommodation manager at Bloomfield House Hotel, and her team received the award; she said: “We are very proud to receive the gold award, it is a fantastic achievement, and it is due to the dedication, commitment and hard work of the accommodation team at Bloomfield House Hotel.”

The awards recognise those who are driving high standards in the accommodation industry and the judging criteria focused on the cleanliness and tidiness of the applicant hotels.

Liz Connaughton, director at Bloomfield House Hotel, said the award is testament to the hard work, attention to detail and dedication of the outstanding housekeeping team who provides a top class service to all guests.

The IASI is a national body that represents the professional interests of the accommodation sector and its remit is to promote best practice standards in the accommodation field.

IASI council members subject all entries to rigorous onsite inspections focusing primarily on the cleanliness and tidiness of the applicant buildings. The IASI sends accommodation providers a list of standards that should be met in order to be eligible for an award.

Every property is required to get 80 per cent in their inspection to pass. After that, 80-87 per cent is a merit award, 87-93 per cent is a silver award and 93-100 per cent is a gold award.
