Beautiful grounds and hotel. Lots of staff on site Poor service though. No one could explain and show us how to get to our room. The extra room we had in the lodges wasn’t explained and was locked. Service at meals was long waits for service. Just very odd. Seems that focus on customer and training is the gap as facilities are stunning

It was a chaotic beginning, we arrived in a storm. But still, this is a 5 star property and expensive. We had to wait for our room, and then communication broke down and when our room was ready, no one told us. We were given bad directions (it was in the new lodge area of property) and in the rain and wind, we had to find our way. The lodge rooms are new and not properly outfitted for a 5 star property. No bath mat (bathroom floor slippery and cold), no robes, tea kettle hidden on top shelf of closet, no air circulation. We called for a fan, they said "right away", it never came. There was a wedding at the property so the bar and common areas were full of wedding guests, no place for hotel guests. First day was rough. Second day,

Perfect bit of luxury

Simply beautiful and matched by excellent service from all staff members you encounter. We arrived late and welcomed with professionalism and warmth. Rooms, linens and fixtures fittings excellent. Bar and lounge just what you need after a long day. Leo knowledge and charm behind the cocktail bar second to none and the best negroni and setting in a very long time.

Great Spot to Stay While Touring Ireland

We had a great stay at the Glenlo Abbey. Wish we had more time to spend on the beautiful grounds but we were busy seeing nearby sites. Restaurants were great, service outstanding and we slept well in the comfortable bed and linens. Overall a very great stay. Eat at the Pullman - such a great experience.

Glenlo Abbey exceeds expectations

We loved our stay at the Glenlo Abbey. The grounds were so lovely, as was the bike riding, our adult children didn’t want to go back into Galway on our 2nd day! The food is wonderful, we really enjoyed the hot breakfast and cold buffet, as well as dinner at Palmers. And the spa treatments were so relaxing, they were an added bonus.
