The most beautiful and idyllic property in Galway. The property is spectacularly preserved with its original grandeur with modern touches. The staff was incredible and really made our stay special. We will be back!

4/10 Fair

Poor customer service was experienced two days in a row in the breakfast dining room. Staff took my order for coffee two days in a row and then didn’t deliver it. Had to ask other staff a couple of times to please bring coffee. On day two my wife and I had the great fortune to get on a “wait list” for a table for breakfast. We waited 25 minutes to be seated. When it came time to check out I asked the front desk for a porter to get our bags. I waited for another 25 minutes while I watched others who had come after me receive their luggage. For the price of this supposedly five star resort I found the lack of good customer service quite disappointing. I, unfortunately, will not book another stay here.

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.

The hotel was gorgeous. The interior rooms were decorated with style and a level of sophistication rarely seen these days. Our room was beautiful and spacious, and the staff members were helpful and kind. I look forward to visiting again soon.

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.

Excellent hotel

Out of our 3 hotels that we stayed at on our trip to Ireland this one was by far the best. From the moment you walk in the staff that greet you the doorman and reception are so friendly. Breakfast and food here was excellent definitely recommend the Pullman carriage for dinner again the staff very friendly.

Beautiful grounds to view or walk around. Inside has lots of charm yet fresh and elegant. Many cozy nooks to sit and have a quiet moment or drink before heading out. Breakfast room has lovely views and many options.

Lovely hotel. Staff very attentive. Large rooms well appointed. Amazing breakfast. Several dining options. Just know that it is not walkable distance from Galway city center, need to take taxi.

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.
