Top Kilkeel Hotel Reviews

Slieve Donard

Slieve Donard

8/10 Good
"The Slieve Donald is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting and the staff are amazing. We had a beautiful comfortable room with a great view over the sea and mountains. However there were a few issues with the room. The only mirrors in the bedroom were long narrow ones on the wardrobe doors. There were no electrical sockets near these mirrors. The addition of a mirror close to a socket to use a hairdryer would have been appreciated. The bathroom lighting above the wash hand basin is poor, better lighting and/or a magnifying mirror would be a great addition. Breakfast: buffet with good selection of fruits, youghurts, nuts, cheeses, cold meats etc and porridge is also offered. However the cooked section was very disappointing - good selection but bacon so overcooked my husband couldn’t eat it, eggs and fried bread very poor! You have to make your own toast, white bread only offered and it had to be put it through the toaster three times before it was toasted! I would expect a 5* hotel to offer a freshly cooked breakfast made to order. If they could get these few issues sorted I’d be back again in a heartbeat."
