Sligo, although a small city, offers many food and entertainment options easily accessible from The Glasshouse Hotel. We even located a brand new and modern laundromat within in 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The staff members at this hotel were very polite and helpful. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Very nice, ac was super cold which I loved, the only thing was the hot water to shower, I think they turn it off at night, I come back from a pub at 1:30 am and try to shower with hot water, not happen. Next morning the water was hot, so I assumed they turn on the water heater during night.

Special shout out to reception team!

From the moment we arrived, the check-in staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The food in the restaurant was absolutely wonderful, and every member of staff we encountered was incredibly friendly. The rooms are decorated beautifully, with comfortable beds that made for a great night’s sleep. A special shout-out goes to the reception team for doing everything they could to accommodate us, their kindness and professionalism truly made it!
