Facilities and grounds were beautiful. The staff was very accommodating. Food very good, Lots of options.
Dined at The Pullman one night. Fabulous menu, wine pairing and atmosphere.
The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Check in was easy. Our only complaint is the service for breakfast—one day they forgot our order, the next was just slow.
Absolutely loved the location, the staff, the golf course, the breakfast and the quiet clean rooms.

Booked this for my parents. They had a wonderful stay. They really enjoyed the spacious rooms, high quality breakfast. During their stay they also ate in the main restaurant and rated their steaks highly. Only area of improvement would be to have spa facilities (add thermal facilities).
Excellent warm welcome. Staff so gracious and helpfull with any request plus offering fantastic ideas for our days out.
Massage amazing for the day we stayed local.
Room clean and always well kept with a night time treat at turn down.
Food fantastic and did not want to leave :) Loved every minute

Our stay at Glenlo was fantastic. Service was excellent, breakfast was great, the room was clean, the entire staff were kind, helpful, and knowledgable. The hotel is also just outside of Galway, so you feel like you're in the countryside while still being a short trip to the city center. I would highly recommend Glenlo for anyone looking to book a stay in or around Galway.
Absolutely stunning hotel! The room is amazing. The grounds around the Abbey are breathtaking. The staff are all wonderful. I would highly recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone.
We loved The Abbey. The staff and rooms were wonderful.

Lovely hotel!
Lovely hotel..beautiful grounds and accommodations. Staff was very friendly and helpful…if you like old fashioned elegance and a beautiful golf course as well…this is your place.
What an amazing place to stay. From the moment you pull up the beauty of the hotel and grounds will take your breath away. Check-in was a breeze. Front desk staff went out of their way to show us around and to our room. Too at the front door was super helpful with our bags and then with places to eat and pubs with live music. In the morning the breakfast was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. Sad that we only had one night there and didn’t get to enjoy the whole place
