Good after upgrade
Despite the huge cost we paid in advance for a deluxe view room, we were given a basement room whose windows faced directly onto a walkway, allowing other guests to look directly into our room. This meant we couldn't enjoy the view we paid for, as the nets had to be closed. We asked to move to a higher floor, but they 'had no rooms of our type'. Our option was to stick with the fish bowl, or pay an extra EUR120/night for a suite. We opted for the suite, but buyer beware.

A fantastic stay in a very special venue
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Glenlo Abbey in the lead up to Christmas 2023. The hotel and its grounds are spectacular and in a brilliant location a short drive from the city centre. The hotel was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. The rooms are a fabulous size and so comfortable. Every member of staff that we engaged with was charming and helpful. Dinner in The Pullman Restaurant was a particular treat, as were cocktails while enjoying live piano in the residents bar. Our stay truly felt like a treat. The only constructive point of feedback I have would be regarding the breakfast, which we found to be disappointing. The menu was a little confusing (no offer of the standard Full Irish, for example), portions were quite small, we always had to ask for more toast, eggs were undercooked, and the continental offer was not quite as extensive or exciting as other five star hotels that we’ve experienced. The service at breakfast was as lovely as ever, however, and overall I would recommend this hotel for a special stay.

Incredible place
This hotel is absolutely incredible. It was beautiful and surrounded by incredible nature. I enjoyed taking morning walks in the hotel grounds and having a late night drink in the historic bar indoors. Service was lovely, thank you Storm and all the front door staff for your kindness! The front desk team also put me in touch with a driver who organized a beautiful tour of Connemara. This is a beautiful, magical place and I can't recommend it enough.

Glenlo Abbey is simply amazing. The staff are proper Irish men and women who went out of their way to make our stay perfect. One day we just spent the day at the Abbey to simply enjoy the beauty and hospitality. We definitely will be back.
