Glenlo Abbey Hotel

Some of the comments mentioned about Glenlo Abbey I would certainly not agree with. The last comment regarding it being stuffy...sorry but I dont see where you're coming from! We came across Glenlo via firstly the WWW and then happend across it on our way to Clifden. We had two nights B&B which were fairly priced, generous room size with all you needed, wifi etc etc. The Pullman Restaurant is great and one of the best dining experiences ive had in my 30+ years on this earth. Sushi starter, Kevin the manager, great ambience and musical... more

The hotel is over priced and over rated. We were very disapointed when we saw the bedrooms. They are very average and we went through four different rooms before we found beds that didn't squeak. The beds were not comfortable. The location is very inconvenient; it is an eight to ten euro cab ride to get into the center of the city. The dining room was lovely and we had a great meal but that was the best part of the stay. I would not stay there again.

I left my glasses at a castle and the staff member got the glasses brought back to the hotel before my early departure the following day. They arranged a great tour with a fabuous kid-friendly... more

I was booked in for 2 nights as a wedding party for New years eve and I was very dissappointed. We had room service and the plate and contents were barely warm. the bar staff moved us from the downstairs bar without warning up into a small room which was cramped. The actual hotel is beautiful but when you compare it to the likes of the Killarney Park Hotel it would only make a 3 star at best. This is the standard of hotel that gets a 5 star rating because is has some nice hideway rooms that you can sit and read the paper. The Pulman served... more
