Room was clean. Water pressure was very strong and beds were very comfortable

8.0 / 10.0

In a lovely location with numerous walking trails. Restaurant and bar was very good, large portions and a variety of nice selection. Rooms were a bit dated and maid service lacking. Floors not vacuumed during our stay, beds not made, toilet paper not refilled. I would stay here again.

This remote hotel is in a truly beautiful area, next to the Monastic Cuty built in the 6th century. The hotel itself was fine, clean enough. But food service was very sketchy and we had to search for breakfast (when they couldnt open an old locked door). Go here if you want to see a beautiful place, but know that the rooms are very basic and amenities are few.

5.0 / 10.0

In the heart of the Wicklow Mountains national Park. You can start your hikes right out the front door. The bar was good with friendly staff, the restaurant was also good and convenient. Parking was easy and on the property.

There were four of us, two per room. Considering the other room booked was lovely, clean, and free of the problems our room had, I would hope it was an anomaly. It seemed like our room hadn't been used in quite a while. We had to remove nine spiders from the room and bathroom, and we're talking established homes in ceiling corners and window sills. Knowing how deep we are in the woods, one or two are to be expected, but this was well beyond that. The sink and tub drains barely worked, and having a shower was a race between getting yourself clean before the tub was full. A quick shower brought water well up your shins, which then needed a further rinse once the tub finally drained, as you were covered with all the soap, etc. from showering. The massive water stain on our carpet suggested a rainstorm where the windows were left open. The property was clean and well kept everywhere else, it truly was our room that was disturbing. There are a lot of things to expect for a 100 year old hotel, this seemed like a bit much.

6.0 / 10.0

++ Very friendly and accommodating eastern European staff. ++ Location + Comfortable bed and linen - Stains on bedroom carpet. Soap dispense in shower, but no soap bar at the sink. - Chilly breakfast room. Saw other guests check whether radiators were on. -- Breakfast: very watery scrambled eggs; cheapest, bottom of the barrel bacon I have come across in a while, with white tendrils of something (extruded industrially added water, perhaps) sitting on its resting surfaces. Stick to the muesli.

Very good location, near to St. Kevin's Tower and the lakes. Great area to hike. The room was clean and comfortable. The area was very quiet in the evening. They had several gf options at the restaurant, including beer.

4.0 / 10.0

Staying at the Glendalough made a three-day visit extremely convenient as it’s virtually on the monastery property. Room was very nice and clean, beds were very comfy. Food at the restaurant was underwhelming. Biggest issue was that the reception desk was sporadically staffed and there was literally no one around to ask for any kind of assistance. That was very odd and disconcerting.

I loved this hotel for the serenity of the area and the friendliness of the staff!

3.0 / 10.0

Good location with that being the best part. You can easily hike and walk the area straight out of the hotel. Front desk is rarely staffed, waiting 10+ minutes for someone. Breakfast is mediocre. Asked for room to be cleaned while gone (with hanger on the door and via front desk after waiting) and was not cleaned after 6 hours. Check in was strictly 3pm, even showing up 12 minutes early we were made to wait, and on return no one at the desk for another 15 minutes. Restaurant and café were very overpriced, with very bad reviews (after breakfast we ate elsewhere).

5.0 / 10.0

An older but luxurious Inn type hotel located in the hiking and climbing area in the Wicklow mountains. Visit the area-it's magnificent-frsh crisp air, views everywhere, stroll up a hillside or just sit and watch. We enjoyed everu minute of our time at this facility.. Everyone is friendly, filled with energy. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

5.0 / 10.0

Dated but well appointed hotel - the location cannot be beat if you want to explore the park and the Glendalough cathedral and round tower ruins. So beautiful!

3.0 / 10.0

It's a fun little hotel right by the park. A bit dated, but the bed was new. No wash clothes was a surprise. Due to the heat and no wind we should of brought a fan.

I loved the walks in the region of the hotel.

10.0 / 10.0

I enjoyed my stay and the location is unbeatable! Very walkable to the monastic city and the hiking trails. I found the interior charming because it was retro - a bit like taking a time machine into the 90s. It was no frills, but it reminded me pleasantly of my childhood. If you're expecting something very modern and/or fancy, you might be disappointed, but I feel like the main attraction is Glendalough. I loved the restaurant here, the waiters were nice and the food was good! The hotel staff here were helpful and polite. The free breakfast was better than the reviews led me to expect. Not fancy, but decent considering it was free. The front desk seems unstaffed outside of the check-in period, but there is a really comfortable lobby hidden away behind the check in area, that you can rest in while you wait. If not for the location, I would have rated this 4/5, but thanks to the location, 5/5!

This is a lovely hotel in a superb location. Consequently they charge accordingly. Many of the guests are american who appear to have no concerns re pricing and tip the staff as they would at home. Drinks prices are also expensive . However our main complaint about the hotel is the lack of staff. All the staff multi task, on one occasion I saw the girl who served our breakfast cleaning the restaurant windows later in the day. This young lady was on her own serving breakfast and dinner. The restaurant was packed and only she and one other were serving consequently service was very slow. The breakfast itself was also not as good as one would expect from a hotel of this standard and cost. A very limited choice of items ensured that the breakfast could in no way be described as a "full Irish", more like a half Irish. All the staff were very nice and friendly but were totally overloaded.

The hotel is very accessible and comfortable. The rustic vibe is amazing. And it’s such a great place to stay after a long hike!

5.0 / 10.0

The hotel exceeded my expectations. I was in a good mood the whole time. You could not ask for a better location right next to the Glendalough sites, plus reasonable rates. Although my room was small, it was cozy and had everything I needed, plus a lovely view from the sizable windows even though it raced north toward the road. My only complaint about the hotel is that the front desk is not staffed 24/7 (I think it closes at 8 or 9 PM), which might create some anxiety for those returning late. I also read really bad reviews about the hotel restaurant, so I ate dinner elsewhere. However, the included breakfast was fine. I didn't see a fan or way to open the windows in the room, so I imagine it might get a little hot during warmer weather.

Lovely serene stay away from the busy towns. Comfortable beds, tea and coffee supplied. Very spacious room and bathroom. Lots of walking tracks nearby. Peaceful views to the hills. Flooring not even. Would recommend just for the tranquility.

This is an historic hotel, secluded in the the Wicklow Mountains. It is beautiful and located steps away from the ancient Monastic City, 2 lakes, and gorgeous walking trails. Very quiet and calm with free parking. The restaurant was good, breakfast could have been better with more options, and better prepared food (boiled bacon instead of fried bacon), no fresh fruit. We got the "cheap" room facing the street, good size with seating area, good bathroom, low water pressure.

6.0 / 10.0

Was very disappointed with breakfast. Poor selection bacon wasn’t cooked properly asked for 2 poached eggs got one wasn’t properly cooked this was the first morning so our second morning we checked out without breakfast no one at reception and headed up the road to the Heather Restaurant for a delicious breakfast.

3.0 / 10.0

This hotel could be great but they know they have a monopoly in Glendalough and therefore make no effort at all and still charge high prices. The breakfast is particularly insulting. If you have a car I highly suggest looking at some of the very good guest houses in the area

Leisure stay - was competing in the lap the gap marathon. Disappointed they didn’t make more of an effort for participants - I.e. an early breakfast, they provided a pre packed bag but it wasn’t suitable as a pre race meal. Staff could be more cheerful.
