The room was relaxing and clean, the shower was fantastic and the bed was extremely comfortable even with it being a single. The room felt modern and cared for and the hotel is in the most fantastic location. I wish I could have stayed longer and intend to return. Breakfast was a little sad with the buffet food cold and very limited options but it was adequate sustenance. The staff were friendly and the hotel bar had a nice vibe. The location is magical.

The boiler or some such motor was running during the late evening and I found it difficult to get to sleep. Breakfast was good but the eggs were left on the heat to over cook to rubber like....

Family atmosphere and friendly front desk staff! Several meals in the restaurant. Really enjoyed the BEEF BOURGUIGNON and I have to admitted I took my dessert of Creme’ Brûlée to my room two nights in a row! Delicious!!! Very accessible to the Glendalough Monastic Site and the many hiking trails in Wicklow Mountains National Park. A bit off season so staff were seen working in all areas…great people! Loved my cozy corner room with a desk and really comfy bed! Happy 55th Birthday to me -2026!
