Loved our stay!

The hotel is very accessible and comfortable. The rustic vibe is amazing. And it’s such a great place to stay after a long hike!

Dated but can’t beat the location

Dated but well appointed hotel - the location cannot be beat if you want to explore the park and the Glendalough cathedral and round tower ruins. So beautiful!

Wishing we could stay longer

An older but luxurious Inn type hotel located in the hiking and climbing area in the Wicklow mountains. Visit the area-it's magnificent-frsh crisp air, views everywhere, stroll up a hillside or just sit and watch. We enjoyed everu minute of our time at this facility.. Everyone is friendly, filled with energy. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

It's a fun little hotel right by the park. A bit dated, but the bed was new. No wash clothes was a surprise. Due to the heat and no wind we should of brought a fan.

Tranquil peaceful stay

Lovely serene stay away from the busy towns. Comfortable beds, tea and coffee supplied. Very spacious room and bathroom. Lots of walking tracks nearby. Peaceful views to the hills. Flooring not even. Would recommend just for the tranquility.

Great location, not much else

Good location with that being the best part. You can easily hike and walk the area straight out of the hotel. Front desk is rarely staffed, waiting 10+ minutes for someone. Breakfast is mediocre. Asked for room to be cleaned while gone (with hanger on the door and via front desk after waiting) and was not cleaned after 6 hours. Check in was strictly 3pm, even showing up 12 minutes early we were made to wait, and on return no one at the desk for another 15 minutes. Restaurant and café were very overpriced, with very bad reviews (after breakfast we ate elsewhere).

Could be so much better

This hotel could be great but they know they have a monopoly in Glendalough and therefore make no effort at all and still charge high prices. The breakfast is particularly insulting. If you have a car I highly suggest looking at some of the very good guest houses in the area

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

Glendalough High

The hotel exceeded my expectations. I was in a good mood the whole time. You could not ask for a better location right next to the Glendalough sites, plus reasonable rates. Although my room was small, it was cozy and had everything I needed, plus a lovely view from the sizable windows even though it raced north toward the road. My only complaint about the hotel is that the front desk is not staffed 24/7 (I think it closes at 8 or 9 PM), which might create some anxiety for those returning late. I also read really bad reviews about the hotel restaurant, so I ate dinner elsewhere. However, the included breakfast was fine. I didn't see a fan or way to open the windows in the room, so I imagine it might get a little hot during warmer weather.

Glendalough Marathon

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.

High cost, poor service.

This is a lovely hotel in a superb location. Consequently they charge accordingly. Many of the guests are american who appear to have no concerns re pricing and tip the staff as they would at home. Drinks prices are also expensive . However our main complaint about the hotel is the lack of staff. All the staff multi task, on one occasion I saw the girl who served our breakfast cleaning the restaurant windows later in the day. This young lady was on her own serving breakfast and dinner. The restaurant was packed and only she and one other were serving consequently service was very slow. The breakfast itself was also not as good as one would expect from a hotel of this standard and cost. A very limited choice of items ensured that the breakfast could in no way be described as a "full Irish", more like a half Irish. All the staff were very nice and friendly but were totally overloaded.

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.
