Glenlo Abbey Hotel

Beautiful property just a quick taxi from Galway center. It’s on a golf course and has walking/bike paths and manicured lawns. The restaurants and cocktail bar are all great. Kind service staff. Book the falconry experience! The guide Jason is the best, and hanging out with the owls and falcons was such a fun and unique experience.

Glenlo Abbey is an absolutely stunning property with incredible views and timeless charm. Every part of the hotel—from the elegant hallways to the beautiful dining room and cozy sitting areas—feels carefully designed and luxurious. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and we also enjoyed a great dinner at Palmers, the on-site restaurant. Having air conditioning was a welcome comfort, especially during warmer weather. Our room was spacious and well-equipped, though we were placed in an accessible room, which slightly affected the overall aesthetic for us. That said, it didn’t take away from the quality of the stay. Overall, Glenlo Abbey is a serene and beautiful escape just outside Galway—elegant, peaceful, and truly memorable. We’d gladly return!

Staying at Glenlo Abbey felt like stepping into a peaceful countryside retreat with old-world charm and modern comforts. The hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful, offering the perfect blend of elegance and relaxation. Our room was spacious, incredibly comfortable, and felt like a true escape from the hustle of everyday life. Breakfast was a highlight—so delicious that we didn’t even consider venturing out like we usually do on vacation. We also enjoyed multiple dinners at the hotel, and each meal was fantastic. The staff were warm, helpful, and made us feel completely at home. One of the standout experiences was the on-site falconry—it was unforgettable and something we’d recommend to anyone staying here. A perfect blend of luxury, charm, and unique experiences—we can’t wait to return.
