This is a large property on a good of course a few miles out of town. It’s beautiful and quiet with large rooms and very attractive public spaces. Additionally the staff are friendly, outgoing, helpful and cannot do enough to make your visit comfortable. Dinner at the Pullman Restaurant - in train cars from the Orient Express was special and expensive but worth the splurge. The only negative was being charged 7 Euros for a bottle of tap water on top of many hundreds of euros for dinner.

The hotel was expensive and overbooked with bus tours. There were a few of us not happy with room. No tub, shower was open and next to toilet. Only one person could be in there at a time. I suggest the staff come as a couple and try to use this type of room! Also you could not get near the bar.

I think we were expecting more. Our two days at Glenlo Abbey was just okay. Staff was spotty-some above and beyond but others lacking the polish expected of a hotel touted as luxury. The Pullman Dinning Car experience, although by far the most expensive meal we had while in Ireland, was well worth it--a fabulous experience that my husband and I would recommend to anyone traveling to the area. We had a small issue with remodeling in a nearby room which when complained about was placated with drink coupons (not really what I wanted but a nice gesture). We loved the live piano music in the salon both nights but found it odd that the couch, which was broken Friday night, was not fixed or replaced on Saturday night when we went back to listen to the piano music. The hotel is beautiful though as are the grounds. Location is a taxi ride into town--easy to obtain one both there and back. With so many wonderful places to stay in the area, we don't think we would go back again except for the Pullman Dining Car experience, which is unparalleled in its uniqueness.

Good after upgrade
Despite the huge cost we paid in advance for a deluxe view room, we were given a basement room whose windows faced directly onto a walkway, allowing other guests to look directly into our room. This meant we couldn't enjoy the view we paid for, as the nets had to be closed. We asked to move to a higher floor, but they 'had no rooms of our type'. Our option was to stick with the fish bowl, or pay an extra EUR120/night for a suite. We opted for the suite, but buyer beware.

A fantastic stay in a very special venue
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Glenlo Abbey in the lead up to Christmas 2023. The hotel and its grounds are spectacular and in a brilliant location a short drive from the city centre. The hotel was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. The rooms are a fabulous size and so comfortable. Every member of staff that we engaged with was charming and helpful. Dinner in The Pullman Restaurant was a particular treat, as were cocktails while enjoying live piano in the residents bar. Our stay truly felt like a treat. The only constructive point of feedback I have would be regarding the breakfast, which we found to be disappointing. The menu was a little confusing (no offer of the standard Full Irish, for example), portions were quite small, we always had to ask for more toast, eggs were undercooked, and the continental offer was not quite as extensive or exciting as other five star hotels that we’ve experienced. The service at breakfast was as lovely as ever, however, and overall I would recommend this hotel for a special stay.

Incredible place
This hotel is absolutely incredible. It was beautiful and surrounded by incredible nature. I enjoyed taking morning walks in the hotel grounds and having a late night drink in the historic bar indoors. Service was lovely, thank you Storm and all the front door staff for your kindness! The front desk team also put me in touch with a driver who organized a beautiful tour of Connemara. This is a beautiful, magical place and I can't recommend it enough.
