Liked the location and staff were very courteous and friendly.
.
A bit of a wander to find reception from where we had parked but saw the error of our ways and parked nearer and better. Went to an event in the adjoining Arena so it was nice not to have to drive home afterwards.
Service in the main restaurant was rather haphazard in comparison with O'Ds.
The location of the property was perfect! Being on the edge of the National Park provides lovely views from the room as well as quiet, serene surroundings. It’s only a short walk into town and there’s a bicycle rental shop on the way. The rooms were fully equipped , spotless and comfortable. There were many small alcoves in the lobby area where you could sit and read a book, converse with friends or enjoy a glass of wine together. Lovely place!
Nothing.
Staff were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely meal in the Fiadh restaurant. Our balcony room had a fabulous view of the mountains and had plenty of seating to enjoy the view from inside or on the balcony.
very good

The view was stunning and the attractions Hotel bus a great advantage Ive stayed here a few times and always return
Wait over coaches for breafast think as a guest we should be accomodeted as much as. Coaches and we arent a tour but private guests Also tea pots sitting when i got tea was cold had to get a replcement would like tea pot fresh and hot
Stanza ampia, pulita. Letti molto comodi. Bagno grande e super doccia. Super piscina. Colazione molto buona. Personale molto gentile. Ottima posizione per visitare la zona.
La signorina al check-in (a differenza della sua collega che era stata gentilissima e molto disponibile) è stata scontrosa e indisponente.
It was okay, nothing special
Hard fried eggs
Staff were absolutely lovely and friendly, food was amazing and the hotel was beautiful. Loved the cozy library side rooms for when you need a quiet few minutes.

Plenty of onsite facilities - good parking
Bathroom a little dated. Shuttle bus to town only runs during the day. 20 mins brisk walk into town although taxis are around.
Loved the hotel, so much on site, bars, shop and fabulous food. Staff were one nicer then the next. Entertainment was great fun in the ballroom and the Michael Jackson tribute in the INEC was magical. Our room was so comfy and we swam both mornings before a delicious breakfast. Would definitely recommend 👌
We were in a rush really as we were attending a wedding next door at the Brehon the following day so I could not comment really it was all a rush really
Nothing really nice quite drinks in bar before bed
Well laid out hotel Bed extremely comfortable. Good breakfast
Nothing
Breakfast was good. Car park on site good. Bar great.
Plenty of helpful staff around at all times to deal with any queries. Spacious. Lots of relaxing areas to just sit and relax.
Breakfast excellent. Great selection. Loved the pancakes.
Steps up in breakfast area for older guests.
The staff excellent
Had a glass of red wine accidentally poured over me by a staff member. Went back to my room and spent a long time washing it out managed to get it out of my top and cardigan There was a few spots left on my white pants. I told the staff member it was alright not to worry about it. But I was a bit disappointed the next day when I met him he ignored me. I am returning next week for five days with my son. Other than that the staff were wonderful . Really looking forward to it. Kind regards Betty Power
The room was filthy and dusty. The floors were so dirty as if they had never been swept before.
Pool, entertainment for kids, friendly staff
Breakfast was underwhelming.
Breakfast was very good Great choice of food
Bed not very comfortable. Room.very warm

Nothing
Large comfortable bed. Air conditioner in the room. Room clean and nicely decorated. Bathroom very clean.
Love the gleneagle so keep going back. Ideal when travelling with kids
They ask you to fill out a survey after you leave to get promotional discount but after going to the bother of doing it , it’s only certain rooms , midweek. Not at all applicable to a family stay
Everything
Enjoyed
Food and service excellent.
Pillows could be more comfortable
The parking, the convenience of walking in for dinner without booking, the staff were very friendly, very approachable and helpful. The shuttle was bus was an added bonus even though we didn’t get to use it. The room was clean and the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Reception staff were friendly on checking in. Good services in the room, tv with Netflix, nice shower, fan, not a bad bed, good selection of teas coffee ect
I didn’t like the check in and check out times. 4pm is too late and 11am was too early for us. Trying to battle through the breakfast rush, even thought we went early it was chaos. The sausages were not nice. The kids wanted to go swimming, after breakfast we went but it felt rushed trying to get out of our room for 11am. The pool was very cramped, uncomfortable. We were having fun as a family in one of the lanes we had been using for races with the kids. We were told it’s for swimming only!! Does that mean no fun aloud!! We weren’t even doing anything that was causing any harm. Just having fun! We also ate dinner. Adult starters were nice. I had the Adults chicken and thought it was tasteless. The presentation was unnecessary and I would have enjoyed just a normal piece of chicken much more rather than 4 rolled and stuffed individual piece I got. The kids dinners were not great. Hard rice, obviously had been sitting there at the buffet for ages, hardly any chicken in the curry. The wait for chicken goujans and chips was also a little silly! They should be on tap! It’s a buffet for kids! Other stuff was missing too, people were being told to come back or their food would be dropped down. Whats the point of having a buffet if it’s not well catered for. We had a drink in the bar and at 9.45 the piano man had tuned his piano but hadn’t started playing any music. The atmosphere was flat. I just expected more for a hotel that has such a well known name. It very much felt like a rotation belt. We paid €235 for our stay, maybe you get what you pay for. Next time I’ll spend more for a better experience.
Great location
Beautiful Hotel couldn’t fault it
Room was perfect , staff very friendly and food was fabulous
Walk in shower. Free parking
The staff and the way they handled an issue
La amabilidad del personal. El desayuno. El hotel muy chulo y cómodo
Nada
La habitación ok, el hotel es algo caro para lo que ofrece. Muy buena atención de los camareros españoles.
Es un hotel demasiado grande y da aspecto de muy masificado. Aunque en general nos gusto.
Great staff. Great music and dancing and Great breakfast in the morning. Lovely clean spacious room.
Love staying in the glengeagle
Family room had 3 full single beds as well as a double bed.
The room was close to the bar and it was noisy around 1am with bottles being emptied into a bin.
L'accoglienza è l'attenzione del personale
Nulla
Good location and plenty of parking available.Rooms are a good size and we had a nice view.
Great for families with young kids but if you want a quiet stay then this probably isn’t for you. Restaurant was quite noisy which is understandable when there are so many families but not really conducive to a peaceful dining experience. We found that it was very expensive and the photos of the rooms show a much more modern and luxurious look .
Hotel was very nice with lots of entertainment for both kids and adults - breakfast was the best too
Leaving
It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the swimming pool
It’s a bit expensive for just one night for 2 adults and a child
Great location easy parking
Nothing
Location, and music..
To late to check in and thay want you out early breakfast is like a cattle mart
I didn't like that we couldn't go into the main restaurant for breakfast each morning. Also the beds were really uncomfortable
L’emplacement
Les bonnets obligatoires pour la piscine. Quelques problèmes de propreté dans les parties communes
The location is perfect, the staff is very kind, the room was very big and clean, the pool is big.
The food, something definitely to improve
Room and bathroom was specious and clean
The room was not suitable for hot weather as there was no Air Conditioner in the room
Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Dinner in the casual restaurant was nice and reasonably priced.
Coffee machine in the room didn’t work. Room was a little over priced for what it was (booked through booking.com)

The room was amazing. Most comfortable ive ever been while in a hotel.
Dinner in the bar was a bit overpriced. Good selection but could do with just a little more.
