From the start, this was an excellent few nights away in Galway. Glenlo is a beautiful setting with lovely spacious rooms. The staff are among the best and friendliest I have ever met. The renovated abbey adds hugely to the character of the place. The downstairs bar is lovely and homely and a place you could easily enjoy a few... More

From the moment you arrive at Glenlo Abbey, the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. The building has been beautifully renovated and the rooms are luxurious and extremely comfortable. It is a new hotel that seems to be from a bygone area with a library and sitting rooms. There is an adjoining golf course. The hotel is just outside Galway... More

Just returned from Glenlo Abbey Hotel in Galway, absolutely brilliant. First impressions were of quite a dull looking hotel from the outside but beautiful grounds and driveway into the hotel. Reception area very small but very homely. We were escorted to our room by a very simple but courteous gentleman called John who gave us a quick tour of the... More

My husband, 16 month old baby son and I stayed in this wonderful 5 star hotel on Sunday night the 13th of May. This hotel is a wonderful place to stay, it is like steping back in time, the hotel has two ajoining sitting rooms with huge soft sofas and plenty of magazines if one needed some time to relax...

As per previous posts, I also stayed at this lovely little hotel using a Groupon voucher. The receptionist was excellent, friendly and welcoming. The room we were allocated (upgrated to river view) was large, clean and very comfortable. The tv was grand with plenty of tv stations, dvd player and hi-fi system all in the room. The panoramic view from... More

Having just returned for a most enjoyable weekend in Glenlo Abbey , it had been a couple of years since we had been there, we found that this 5 star hotel had lost none of it's charm. From check in to departure the wonderful hotel staffs attention to detail is truly outstanding. The ambience is from a different era making... More

We stayed here for two nights one of which was via a Groupon voucher. The hotel is situated in extensive grounds incorporating a golf course about 3 miles from the city centre. We walked into the city which took about 40 minutes and taxied back which cost 11 euro. The hotel itself is old fashioned in its main design but... More

I agree with previous comments about the decor and dated rooms but the one outstanding piece for me was Sandra on reception, without doubt the very best level of service I have experienced anywhere in the world. Give that girl raise! More

I have to agree with WillieEggery's post below, I actually had high hopes for this hotel when pulling into the drive way, check in was quick and easy, staff through out the whole stay were great, but that is pretty much where the good part ends. Let me be clear, this could be a great hotel, however, the beds (like... More
