The Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club

WARNING It’s not what it says on the tin, or at least, it’s not what it says on the website! I booked a 2night stay with breakfast and dinner package. Highlighted at the top of the booking screen there was a message stating “Dinner included for all nights” but when we arrived the receptionist said that only one dinner was included as was shown in the small print on the booking confirmation. He was totally disinterested in the screen shot I had taken showing the message but offered to get his manager to speak with me. She told me that the message “Dinner included for all nights” was a mistake and that we had only one dinner included. Rather than offering anything to immediately resolve the issue, she said she would be in touch with an offer for our next visit! Our room was adequately furnished (no usb charging ports available (and none at reception either), by the way) but could have done with a little tlc (replace the torn curtains, for instance?). On the plus side, the restaurant staff were really friendly and very helpful and the food was excellent. The freshly prepared breakfasts are definitely worth waiting for!

A highly recommended gem of a hotel. Fabulous location on the foot of the Wicklow mountains, close to the Sugar Loaf mountain, Glendalough, Powerscourt Waterfall, Ireland hugest pub and the beaches of the east coast. Stayed for two nights recently, upon arrival we were met by a very friendly and helpful guy Jude at reception who couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home from the moment we set foot inside the main door. Our room was amazing, spacious, clean, and very comfortable with thermostat regulated AC heating. We were there celebrating our wedding anniversary, when we got to our room on both days we were met by a really nice surprise waiting on the table for us. After arrival on the first day we went to the bar for a bite of lunch where we were once again made to feel like royalty. It was so refreshing to experience staff who genuinely cared for their guests and wanted nothing but the best for them. I have yet to visit a hospitality sector establishment in Ireland where the staff are so attentive to their customers needs. Other customer focused businesses could learn a thing or two by paying Glenview a visit. We went to the Woodlands restaurant for dinner on the second night and once again the service was amazing, the food throughout our stay was second to none and I have to give the Chefs credit for the lamb curry. It was an actual proper Indian curry not an Irish restaurant”s version of an Indian curry…bravo chefs! They had music entertainment on both nights in the bar, the guy on the second night put on a hell of an entertainment show with his saxophone, flute and thin whistle. A very entertaining night with something for all ages. Overall I would recommend a stay at the Glenview hotel to anyone who cared to listen. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to all the staff and management for making us feel so welcome and sharing in our wedding anniversary celebration.

We had a lovely stay at the Glenview. We have stayed here on numsrous occasions before and have never been disappointed. For this trip, we travelled as a family of four with two children aged 10 and 12. They absolutely loved the pool facilities and the lovely gardens surrounding the hotel. Myself and my husband enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and plunge pool also. The view from the breakfast restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. The staff were all kind and helpful also. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely Hotel, great location and excellent service! Bedroom & bathroom spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and catered for vegans and gluten-free. It would benefit from having somewhere nice to sit in the lobby after dinner. While we enjoyed our dinner in the conservatory, we wanted to sit and chat for a while but we had to stay at our table as there was no other reception space to sit.

Second night stay in a beautiful room with stunning views and leisure facilities to suit all requirements but the really best part of the Glenview is how kind the staff are. We were quite literally blown away at how lovely every member of staff are and the food is delicious. We are having such a lovely well needed break, big shout out to Robbie at the bar ! Every hotel needs a Robbie ! Also beautiful Samantha and all at the Glenview we will be back.

I attended an 80th Birthday Party and was hugely impressed by the room, decoration , service and the fact everything had been thought of to make it a truly special occasion . The birthday girl was looked after and treated like a celebrity. Well done to all
