Save your money and look to either take a day trip to these trails or check out another local hotel. It is not staffed 24hrs and you will be locked in. You can’t come and go as you please, and you will get locked out so don’t think you can even run to the car to grab something. You can tell that everyone working here is miserable. We got the bed and breakfast package but omg don’t waste your time the breakfast is subpar and will eat a buffet in a room that is absolutely freezing. We also had a weird situation where we came back to our room after dinner to someone who we think works at the bar walking out of our room with no words on to why they were even there. We literally just had to get out of there and ended up leaving at like 5:30 in the morning just to be done with it and on to our next adventure. Didn’t even eat the second days free meal, we’d rather pay. Save your time, money, and sanity and stay at another hotel. The walk though that is out by here is absolutely breathtaking and worth it. They also have food trucks which open at 9 at the trailhead. Worth the hike out there but there is also parking all over the trail so again not worth staying at this horrible hotel. I heard it was once amazing, they need to find management who has a passion for experience because this one doesn’t.

The Glendalough Hotel is located near the Glendalough Monastery which makes it the perfect location for walks and discoveries of the nearby visitor attractions. It offers a unique atmosphere due to the amazing surroundings close to nature but also to the old churchyard and monasteric city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Property (hotel) said they wouldn’t take Amex and pressured me to use an alternate method of payment, yet I paid for drinks in the Bistro/Bar with Amex. The Desk Clerk didn’t appreciate when I called him out on it. The room bathroom was in need of a deep clean, mold at the base of the tub and floor. Mildew 3 inches up the shower curtain. Over all not a very pleasant stay.

Unique property that sits adjacent to a charming historical site within easy walking distance. Very peaceful and clean. We stayed in late September, so lack of air conditioning wasn’t an issue. The heat was very comfortable during the night. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was very delicious after reading previous reviews. Would definitely recommend.

For the price the facilities and decor were somewhat faded and basic eg no iron in room hairdryer was dated on wall version in bathroom. Not even a water glass or even plastic glass for toothbrushes - we had to either drink from a teacup or get a glass from the bar. Dirty glasses from bar not cleared or washed up when room Serviced . Bathroom toiletries in dispenser nothing complimentary, towels tiny, for £200 per night plus you would expect a few nice touches. Breakfast room pretty but a big dated counter meant people couldn’t pass each other- very slow toaster no one to assist. The menu in the restaurant was limited and somewhat overpriced so we ate somewhere else the second night that was much better value. Bar lacking in atmosphere. Dinner service could have been more polished (I don’t expect to have to explain why I have not eaten everything on my plate) Definitely paying for the location not the service or facilities.

The Glendalough Hotel is perfect for exploring the many trails surrounding the Glendalough Ecclesiastical Settlement. Our room was clean, bedding was comfortable and the check in process was easy. The hotel offers a great outdoor space, was very quiet, our room was large, shower was great after a long day of hiking. Tea and coffee provided in the room. Breakfast and onsite restaurant food were average. There are two restaurants within walking distance. Hotel staff was attentive, courteous and went above and beyond to meet our needs. They even offered porridge and vegan sausage. Improvement would be to invest in small room refrigerators. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice place - great location.

Old hotel with a pub and restaurant right next to lots of walking and hiking trails. We had a nice old room on first floor overlooking river and valley. It was offseason in early April, so no people congestion anywhere. One could see how busses full of people probably clot the place up in high season.
