My husband and I stayed at Glenlo Abbey last weekend for one night and we loved it.
From the moment we arrived all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
We received a room upgrade which was overlooking the Pullman Restaurant. The room was large, comfortable and spotless with a huge bed, comfortable couch, robes and slippers. We loved the cookies provided in the room and tea or coffee is available 24 hours on request.
We had a relaxing dinner in The Pullman Restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service professional.
We ejoyed a few drinks in The Oak Cellar Bar after dinner.
Our stay at Glenlo was so relaxing and enjoyable. We wished we could have stayed longer!

We stayed in Glenlo Abbey from Boxing Day 2007 for 2 nights, and the reason we wnt there was because we had builder at home who left us with half finished bathroom, and we didn't want a miserable week at home surrounded by builder rubble.

We chose Glenlo as we wanted a luxury, special place and I am baffled by some of the reviews on here being so low.

We booked the Conservatory Suite, which was a beautiful room with a huge panormaic window in the bedroom which was generous by any standards it also had beautiful upholstery anf furnishings, adjacent was a really nice living room, off which was the conservatory, which was upstairs and overlooking their rear garden and chapel. Fair enough we didn't have alough view, but in the midst of winter in Galway that wasn't a problem.

We ate in the Pullman Restaurant, The River Room Restaurant, and the Oak Cellar Bar. Food was great in the Pullman, but really superb in the River Room, and they were more than accomodating to create something new for the menu as we are vegetarians.

Breakfast was excellent to, and we had a vegetarian cooked breakfast, nicely presented and very tasty. All the staff were friendly and attentive here too.

Attention to detail was excellent, parts of the Hotel were reminisent of an old stately home with big fireplaces, atinque furniture, calm, relaxing, peaceful.

Highly recommended.

My wife and I thought this place was wonderful. We only stayed one night, but loved the ambiance, staff, and food. Several personnel went out of their way to make our stay more interesting or comfortable. Our spacious room overlooked the "garden" and the Abbey in the morning sun.

Loved the food at the restaurant/bar downstairs, and the five-star breakfast the next morning....!!! Our table by the window overlooked the greenery of the golf course and the bay beyond, whilst impeccably-dressed service personnel attended to our every breakfast need in grand style.

The only complaint was that we could not control our own heat unit, nor the bathroom towel warmer.

This was our first night in Ireland (having driven all the way from Dublin that afternoon), and a wonderful introduction. (We did the B&B thing elsewhere, and fondly remember the Abbey's Ambiance!!)

Just had our 3rd visit to Glenlo Abbey hotel and once again it was fantastic..
we brought our teenage daughter this time and were given a fab 2 rooms...
staff as usual are exceptional.

Breakfast is to die for and one of our main reasons for returning.
the breakfast room is so relaxing.

You will not be disappointed if you stay here.
Such a relaxing place . cant wait to return..
