Located in Glendalough Valley, County Wicklow, the Glendalough Hotel is 75 km from Dublin. The hotel is near St Kevin's Tower and the Monastic City, a short walk from the Glendalough Lakes. It is steps from the Medieval archway that leads to the Glendalough round tower, two High Crosses, seven churches of Glendalough, and the priest's house.

Services and Facilities

The Glendalough Hotel offers complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Breakfast is served from 8.15 am - 9.45 am. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, featuring ramps and accessible bathrooms. Guests can request packed lunches and breakfast grab bags. The Monastic City entrance at the back of the hotel is where the hotel gardens travel along the boundary of this ancient City and down to the river. Parking is available.

“Located in Glendalough Valley, the hotel is immersed in nature, a place to escape the city. The location allows direct access to the Monastic City and hiking trails. It's a family-run establishment with an authentic Irish atmosphere; though breakfast could use a healthier refresh, the comfortable rooms and rich history dating back to the 1830s make it a cozy place to consider.”
