++ Very friendly and accommodating eastern European staff. ++ Location + Comfortable bed and linen - Stains on bedroom carpet. Soap dispense in shower, but no soap bar at the sink. - Chilly breakfast room. Saw other guests check whether radiators were on. -- Breakfast: very watery scrambled eggs; cheapest, bottom of the barrel bacon I have come across in a while, with white tendrils of something (extruded industrially added water, perhaps) sitting on its resting surfaces. Stick to the muesli.

L'hôtel a été récemment rénové, les chambres et sdb aussi. L'endroit est forcément au calme car il est dans une voie sans issue juste sur le centre monastique. La cuisine du restaurant est excellente, le personnel très rendant service. L'environnement est magique. Le service de bus St Kevin, assure la liaison avec Dublin St Stephen's Green park.

This is an historic hotel, secluded in the the Wicklow Mountains. It is beautiful and located steps away from the ancient Monastic City, 2 lakes, and gorgeous walking trails. Very quiet and calm with free parking. The restaurant was good, breakfast could have been better with more options, and better prepared food (boiled bacon instead of fried bacon), no fresh fruit. We got the "cheap" room facing the street, good size with seating area, good bathroom, low water pressure.

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

I enjoyed my stay and the location is unbeatable! Very walkable to the monastic city and the hiking trails. I found the interior charming because it was retro - a bit like taking a time machine into the 90s. It was no frills, but it reminded me pleasantly of my childhood. If you're expecting something very modern and/or fancy, you might be disappointed, but I feel like the main attraction is Glendalough. I loved the restaurant here, the waiters were nice and the food was good! The hotel staff here were helpful and polite. The free breakfast was better than the reviews led me to expect. Not fancy, but decent considering it was free. The front desk seems unstaffed outside of the check-in period, but there is a really comfortable lobby hidden away behind the check in area, that you can rest in while you wait. If not for the location, I would have rated this 4/5, but thanks to the location, 5/5!

There were four of us, two per room. Considering the other room booked was lovely, clean, and free of the problems our room had, I would hope it was an anomaly. It seemed like our room hadn't been used in quite a while. We had to remove nine spiders from the room and bathroom, and we're talking established homes in ceiling corners and window sills. Knowing how deep we are in the woods, one or two are to be expected, but this was well beyond that. The sink and tub drains barely worked, and having a shower was a race between getting yourself clean before the tub was full. A quick shower brought water well up your shins, which then needed a further rinse once the tub finally drained, as you were covered with all the soap, etc. from showering. The massive water stain on our carpet suggested a rainstorm where the windows were left open. The property was clean and well kept everywhere else, it truly was our room that was disturbing. There are a lot of things to expect for a 100 year old hotel, this seemed like a bit much.
