This is an historic hotel, secluded in the the Wicklow Mountains. It is beautiful and located steps away from the ancient Monastic City, 2 lakes, and gorgeous walking trails. Very quiet and calm with free parking. The restaurant was good, breakfast could have been better with more options, and better prepared food (boiled bacon instead of fried bacon), no fresh fruit. We got the "cheap" room facing the street, good size with seating area, good bathroom, low water pressure.

The Glendalough Hotel is located near the Glendalough Monastery which makes it the perfect location for walks and discoveries of the nearby visitor attractions. It offers a unique atmosphere due to the amazing surroundings close to nature but also to the old churchyard and monasteric city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Unique property that sits adjacent to a charming historical site within easy walking distance. Very peaceful and clean. We stayed in late September, so lack of air conditioning wasn’t an issue. The heat was very comfortable during the night. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was very delicious after reading previous reviews. Would definitely recommend.
