This lovely hotel, with older charm and character, is perfectly located to walking and hiking trails, and a 2 minute stroll to the monastic ruins. Our room was comfortable, spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. The tub/shower was a bit of a high step, but grab bar was perfect help. Breakfast in the morning was buffet-style with good variety. I wish we had time to stay longer than just overnight.

We loved this classic hotel with old world charm. Situated on a creek and adjacent to a park, there were endless hiking trails to be explored. We loved stumbling upon the St Savior Church remains on our forest walk. Our room was spacious and the water pressure for showering outstanding— many other hotels we’ve visited could learn something from this hotel. Breakfast was the standard English Breakfast that we’ve tired of after nearly 3 weeks of travel. Please consider offering something a little interesting sometime— like a waffle, or crepe. Overall, we had a great time and would happily return.

A charming and old hotel on beautiful grounds and walkable to Glendalough Cathedral. Hotel needs serious updates and maintenance. Broken coffee machines, fire extinguishers hanging on by a thread to the wall. Staff (other than a bartender) were not impressive and food was meh. Staff is worked hard.

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.
