Amazing location for Glendalough. Plenty of parking but not particularly close to an EV charger, if you have an electric car. The restaurant is good and traditional but the breakfast is just okay.

Faulty Towers! Not very clean, torn pillow cases, rubber fried eggs and plastic bread for breakfast. Shower very weak and hot and cold, TV precariously hanging on by a thread on the wall. Very nice and helpful staff.

The hotel is very old and in need of refurbishment. The bed was clean and very comfortable but there were a lot of spiders around the windows. Breakfast was very basic!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This lovely hotel, with older charm and character, is perfectly located to walking and hiking trails, and a 2 minute stroll to the monastic ruins. Our room was comfortable, spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. The tub/shower was a bit of a high step, but grab bar was perfect help. Breakfast in the morning was buffet-style with good variety. I wish we had time to stay longer than just overnight.

The team was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms made good use of the limited space; parking was easy and the views were nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this classic hotel with old world charm. Situated on a creek and adjacent to a park, there were endless hiking trails to be explored. We loved stumbling upon the St Savior Church remains on our forest walk. Our room was spacious and the water pressure for showering outstanding— many other hotels we’ve visited could learn something from this hotel. Breakfast was the standard English Breakfast that we’ve tired of after nearly 3 weeks of travel. Please consider offering something a little interesting sometime— like a waffle, or crepe. Overall, we had a great time and would happily return.

A charming and old hotel on beautiful grounds and walkable to Glendalough Cathedral. Hotel needs serious updates and maintenance. Broken coffee machines, fire extinguishers hanging on by a thread to the wall. Staff (other than a bartender) were not impressive and food was meh. Staff is worked hard.

Family atmosphere and friendly front desk staff! Several meals in the restaurant. Really enjoyed the BEEF BOURGUIGNON and I have to admitted I took my dessert of Creme’ Brûlée to my room two nights in a row! Delicious!!! Very accessible to the Glendalough Monastic Site and the many hiking trails in Wicklow Mountains National Park. A bit off season so staff were seen working in all areas…great people! Loved my cozy corner room with a desk and really comfy bed! Happy 55th Birthday to me -2026!
