The Glendalough Hotel

Leisure stay - was competing in the lap the gap marathon. Disappointed they didn’t make more of an effort for participants - I.e. an early breakfast, they provided a pre packed bag but it wasn’t suitable as a pre race meal. Staff could be more cheerful.

Beautiful

Loved the area

Lovely hotel.

It is excellent! The breakfast was the best!

Beautiful area, hotel was a little dated but overall pleasant and relaxing

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.

Location was great for walking to beautiful historic sites and hikes.

Eine große Enttäuschung, keine Heizung. Gäste sitzen mit Mützen und Jacken beim Frühstück welches eine Zumutung ist. Tassen schmutzig, billigste Zutaten, alles nicht genießbar. Zimmer kalt und abgewohnt und zusammengestückelt, Fernseher zerstört, kein Fluchtplan im Zimmer, Personal gibt sich uninteressiert und versucht noch Gästen Reservierung im eigenen schlechten Restaurant „mit den Worten es geben fast keine freien Tische fürs Dinner“ eine verbindliche Reservierung aufzuschwätzen.
