Our stay at Glenlo was excellent in every way. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Dinner in The Pullman Orient Express was superb, wine was properly decanted and very good Bordeaux...a truly unique experience with Michelin Star quality food and a wonderful atmosphere. Service was the best we’ve had anywhere . The bedroom was very comfortable with nice touches eg the Nespreso machine and rain shower . We are looking forward to our next stay!

Glenlo Abbey was an excellent choice for a two night stay with our friends. The location is very impressive and we received a very pleasant welcome in the tastefully designed reception which embraced the ambiance of an old country house with an open fire. The staff were very helpful and the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. Our room had a spectacular view across the golf course and the bay. The platform and former railway carriages from the Orient Express provided an excellent back-drop for photographs. An excellent location to use as a base to visit Galway city and Connemara. A visit is highly recommended.

I cannot recommend the Abbey enough - it was beautiful, friendly, convenient, accommodating and my only gripe was that I didn’t stay long enough to fully enjoy everything it has to offer. I would stay here again, no doubt, in a heartbeat.

A perfect start to my first trip to Ireland. The room was clean, spacious and the shower was awesome. The staff and the food were excellent. Played around of golf on their well kept course. The front desk was happy to help me confirm/fix other reservations I had. I highly recommended the Glenlo Abbey!!

Customer rating:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenlo Abbey — it was beautiful, comfortable, and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. When we mentioned we were going to a small town in County Mayo, the hostess gave us a restaurant suggestion there (and the lunch we had there was fantastic). I would (and hope to) stay there again in a heartbeat, and I will certainly urge my friends to stay there, too.

Customer rating:

This was our second time staying in this wonderful luxurious 5 star country house hotel. The interior is furnished throughout with antiques that are pleasantly in keeping with the old world ambience of the house. The staff were especially friendly and helpful from the moment we entered until our departure. No stay would be complete without savouring the special atmosphere of fine dining in the Pullman Restaurant which is actually one of two carriages from the original Orient Express, truly unique. All in all it was such a special treat to stay in such wonderful surroundings and comfort, can’t wait to return. Highly recommended.

Was here 20 years ago with my family and came back to celebrate the anniversary with one of my cousins. It was truly magical to reminisce, and while updates had been made the overall grandeur, timeless beauty and exceptional service remained the same. Our room was gorgeous and beyond comfortable. The grounds were impeccable, and you truly felt like you were a world away, yet you're just 2-minutes from Galway City. We dining atmospheres provided something for all occasions, and the food was excellent. Loved revisiting Glenlo, and my next visit will be much sooner than 20 years!

My now fiancé and I were extremely delighted in our stay at your hotel. The room was gorgeous overlooking the grounds of the property and the Pullman restaurant. The room was extremely clean at all times and had every amenity at your disposal. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a very memorable night as we got engaged on the Pullman car, but we are thrilled that it will be a place we will return to happily. Thank you for the memories. Our only wish was that we stayed longer!

Our stay at Glenlo Abby couldn't have been better. The staff was outstanding and so accommodating, at every level, and the hotel was clearly one of the finest we've ever experienced. I might add that we do travel extensively throughout the world and when we say that Glenlo Abby is truly a very special place, that's coming from experienced travelers. We look forward to the day we can return to this beautiful piece of Ireland and relive the wonderful experience again. Steve & Lisa Hoctor

Our visit lived up to our expectations. 5 star service at a 5 star hotel. From our greeting from Sandra at reception all the way through our experience was excellent. We dined in the River Room Restaurant and the food was fantastic and the chef arrived to ensure we were happy, that little touch of class. Our upgraded(not requested) room was very spacious and very comfortable. All in a first class stay and highly recommended.

The facility is wonderful, the quiet corners by the fire were a great for relaxing with a book. The cinema was a wonderful surprise, the games room and board games dotted added to the experience. The lobby and upstairs staff were all top class, but the collection of young guys in the bars could benefit from some leadership, training and urgency.

My husband played a great round of golf while I enjoyed wandering around the property. We had been going non stop for over a week on a tour of Ireland and needed some time to relax and Glenlo Abbey was the perfect retreat. Our room was very spacious and had a great view. We both enjoyed relaxing in the different living rooms and bar, and the food in the dining room and the Oak Cellar Bar was delicious. Thanks for a memorable and enjoyable stay

I stayed alongside three other friends at the glenlo abbey as part of the Murder on the Orient express experience and it was an amazing experience. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The quality of the food was superb, for both our dinner in the Pullman resturant and breakfast. The staff were so lovely and helpful. The overall experience was brilliant and I will definitely be back.

Our stay was just lovely. After stressful days out navigating the Irish country roads, coming back to the hotel was truly like coming home - such warmth (both literally and figuratively) and wonderful service and comfort. We ended up dining in the restaurant both evenings because the food was so amazing, as well.
