Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely spectacular hotel and spa!! I have travelled extensively and this is the best hotel accommodations I’ve experienced. Our room was so well appointed I could have moved in forever! The staff were all so friendly, the pool and spa gorgeous, and the restaurants were both amazing. I can’t wait to come back!"

The Martello Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"“Apartment” was totally undersold! Amenities included hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and adequate pots, crockery and cutlery. Also a washing machine, iron and ironing board. Everything to make it fully self catering if required. Surprisingly, in our experience, bins were emptied and fresh towels provided each day. Bed linen also changed mid way through our 4 night stay. Lounge sparsely furnished but this was to allow room for 2 fold down beds so that apartment could sleep 4. TV in lounge and in bedroom. Brilliant!"

10/10 Excellent
"I phoned to book a room and found the girl who answered the phone rude and unpleasant but sure isn't there always one person who thinks they are above everyone else. So I decided just to book online and in doing so actually to my surprise got a way better deal. When my friend and I got to the hotel staff were plesent. Its a lovely place to stay Unfortunately I didn't get the rude girls name."

The Glenview Hotel And Leisure Club

8/10 Good
"Nice property and facilities Additional Breakfast cost of £23 is very overpriced. They don’t open the coffee bar or snack bar until 10am which sort of forces you to have breakfast as the nearest cafe is some distance. Other than that, a good location and friendly staff."

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.
