Recent Reviews in Rathnew

The Martello Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, helpful staff. Clean room, very comfortable beds. Lovely breakfast. As far as I'm aware there are no toilets on the ground floor, this would help people with restricted mobility or just old people like me."

Wilton Hotel Bray

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, food lovely and staff brilliant will definitely be back"

Chester Beatty Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful inn!! My husband and I absolutely loved our stay. The room was clean and comfortable! The food was delicious- especially the complimentary breakfast. The pub and side room with the snooker tables was a perfect addition. We would definitely stay here again!!"

Woodenbridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I phoned to book a room and found the girl who answered the phone rude and unpleasant but sure isn't there always one person who thinks they are above everyone else. So I decided just to book online and in doing so actually to my surprise got a way better deal. When my friend and I got to the hotel staff were plesent. Its a lovely place to stay Unfortunately I didn't get the rude girls name."

Clone House

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a destination not a place to stay. Incredible location and vibes… cannot give a higher recommendation!"

The Glendalough Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying, location is just stunning. No iron in room and unable to get one, the only negative which was a shame."

The Horse & Hound

10/10 Excellent

"Great property! The staff was amazing and had excellent advice on day trips in the area. The breakfast and dinner were top notch and the pub was great fun meeting the locals over a Guinness. We will definitely come back and stay longer."

Parkview Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very good stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly during our stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was also convenient and the overall experience was very good. We would happily stay here again and would recommend this hotel to others."

The Glenview Hotel And Leisure Club

8/10 Good

"Nice property and facilities Additional Breakfast cost of £23 is very overpriced. They don’t open the coffee bar or snack bar until 10am which sort of forces you to have breakfast as the nearest cafe is some distance. Other than that, a good location and friendly staff."
