fantastic couple of days at glenlo abbey the highlight of our visit was our first meal in the river room restraunt, young french waiter was great franc. but then came our food succulent scallops with curried belly of pork yes it was a hit! the menu is not your usual hotel menu but boy its good! staff were great too. we will be back to restraunt if in galway again.

I've been to Ireland five times and five times stayed at Glenlo. It is not only my favorite hotel in Ireland, it's my favorite hotel anywhere. Staff, setting, class, food, rooms, amenities and less than 10 minutes to downtown. Much more relaxing than staying in downtown Galway and the folks -- and history of the abbey -- are just wonderful. Thank heavens it's not one of those touristy castles to which another reviewer referred!

Beautiful people, setting and service!
Will be back again and again!
