The only negative We had was at night when you wanted to have a drink and listen to music as a resident ,it was near impossible to get a seat because of so many non residents. Other than that everything was very good.

Would return

We had a river view room which was lovely to watch the swans. Breakfast was more than adequate. Meal and drinks prices average. Would love to spend a while on the deck in summer.

Best location in town!

I found The Glasshouse to be overall a good hotel. It is centrally located, which is probably why it's a bit pricey! €297 for a twin room in March?! I was visiting with a friend, and we got a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the river. We had great cocktails in the upstairs bar, and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were just adequate, especially at reception. Fantastic bar service, and also in the breakfast restaurant, though. Overall pleasant stay. Tip: the lifts have a mind of their own!!
