We were upgraded to a suite, as I was on crutches, & needed a separate shower, which was excellent. Room was clean, with a lovely log electric fire in the sitting area, which was great for watching tv in the evening. Found the staff very helpful. My o my gripe, was the buffet breakfast, I think the calibre of this hotel should serve breakfast. The hot breakfast wasn’t replenished enough, eggs were hard, fried bread cold, instead of everyone getting a hot breakfast to their table. A big let down for a five star hotel!

I chose this spot for its proximity to Slieve Donard, it was so close.. way closer than I expected. I loved the location and how it’s nestled off to the side but still in town so you can walk. You are right on the water and there are paths everywhere to get you where you want to go.

Beautiful hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with alot of choice.

All in all a lovely couple of nights with family in a beautiful hotel with spectacular scenery by the sea.

We had a slightly strange experience at Slieve Donard. The hotel is lovely. The room had a great view of the sea and the bed was really comfortable. The gym and spa area are great. Its location is also amazing. However on our first night we were disturbed in our room after 10.30 pm to settle a restaurant bill because we hadn't left card details at the front desk. When I mentioned this to the staff the next day they said they would speak to the manager and get back to us about it, but never did. I was also quite shocked on our last morning to be turned away from the gym and pool because it was only open to members, and not hotel guests, at that time.

Orla

Room decor (which we know has been recently updated) still lacking and paint chipped in many places. Two large glasses of wine in bar £30. ‘Colourful’ wedding when we were there which took over most of the hotel. We spent most of the time in our room!!!! We had one drink in Percy French and fabric sofas were stained. What has happened to the Slieve Donard? Potential for 5 star all day long but struggling to reach 4 star I’m afraid

Truly an exceptional hotel. I grew up in the area and it has continued its history of providing an experience that excels (locals just call it “The Slieve”). The amenities are fantastic with the spa facilities, snooker room, drawing room for a peaceful morning. Breakfast in the main dining area with views of the Mounre Mountains is an experience itself. We hosted a family dinner in JJ Farrell’s food and service exceptional
