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.

The room was relaxing and clean, the shower was fantastic and the bed was extremely comfortable even with it being a single. The room felt modern and cared for and the hotel is in the most fantastic location. I wish I could have stayed longer and intend to return. Breakfast was a little sad with the buffet food cold and very limited options but it was adequate sustenance. The staff were friendly and the hotel bar had a nice vibe. The location is magical.

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!
