You asked, I answered
Nestled in a breathtaking spot near ancient ruins and scenic lakes, the location shines bright. The comfy beds were a treat after long hikes. Breakfast had vegan options, but the food could use improvement. Check-in was tricky with delayed service, affecting my initial impressions. It's a place with potential, especially with its natural beauty!

would want to stay there again
The room was cozy with a king-sized bed, a large bath, and even a shower chair. The decor was charming and quaint. The location is unbeatable for hiking—just steps away from Glendalough's lakes and trails. Dinner featured delicious salmon and burgers, making long days in nature end on a tasty note. Plus, breakfast had yummy freshly baked croissants.

Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored the Upper and Lower Lakes and the Monastic City, which were both stunning. The location is perfect for hiking and enjoying nature. Can't recommend it enough for groups looking for an adventure! Just be aware breakfast is self-service and could use some variety.
One negative experience was feeling unwelcome while eating take-out in the lobby. The manager was quite rude about it.

excellent views and access to stunning glendalough attractions
during my stay, I loved how close the visitor center was, just a few steps away, and getting to visit the breathtaking Glendalough Upper Lake only about 2.5 km from the hotel made my weekend strolls unforgettable, feeling truly immersed in nature's beauty. the staff were friendly and professional, creating a warm atmosphere that made the experience even better for a single traveler like me.

We enjoyed our family hike along the Glendalough Green Road Walk, taking in the beautiful Upper and Lower Lakes while the kids played in the lush woodlands. The hotel’s location makes it easy to explore the area's history, which our family found amazing.
My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities and a play area. It could be more inviting for families.

Charming old-style hotel situated right next to remarkable monastic ruins and a picturesque river. Spacious, clean rooms provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for a restful stay.
Breakfast leaves plenty to be desired, with limited options and poor-quality ingredients leading to a disappointing start each morning. Dining service felt disorganized, often resulting in long waits for meals and mix-ups with orders. Cleanliness in shared areas, including carpets and restrooms, needs attention, which detracted from the experience. During peak times, the bar had chaotic service, causing frustration and delays.

missingWrote a review on Jun 13stunning viewsfriendly staffcozy roombreakfast chaossmall bedlift issues
The location is just stunning. The views of the mountains and woods are captivating. My room had a nice view, and I really appreciated the opening windows. The staff were friendly most of the time, especially during breakfast. However, the breakfast service on Monday was chaotic. They ran out of coffee quickly, and my partner's poached egg came late. The food selection at breakfast could be better. it felt limited. The room itself was cozy, but the double bed was actually two singles pushed together, which was disappointing because I had specifically requested a double. Also, I faced some trouble with the lift being out of order when I arrived, which wasn't ideal. Despite these issues, the hotel has a lovely ambiance and sits in a perfect place to explore the area.
Tourists from United States of America often stay at these properties. Consider them for your next trip.
