The Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club

Lovely hotel and grounds and staff were very friendly. Lovely food .

Great place for a night away. We arrived on Friday evening. We had a lovely room. The bed was huge and very comfortable. I loved the leisure centre. We had dinner in the bar( fish n chips) really good. Service was great. Good atmosphere here too. Breakfast was one of the best we've had. The garden is a great plus for the hotel. One comment, the room was too hot at night. We will be back.

Terrible. Not a warm welcome at check in. Don't know how this hotel is a 4 star. Inexperienced staff in all areas. Male and female member of staff continued a conversation at the computer, discussing holiday entitlement while we waited to be assisted with a query. Lack of general information on places of interest and things to do, although we had our plans made. Room was tiny and very dusty, dirty grout around sink, ripped curtains, one chair , shower went from warm to scalding hot then cold then warm again. Duvet cover was inside out. Extractor fan didn't work. Sink hot tap temp dangerously hot for hand washing. No WiFi in room and signal on TV kept going off. Food ok in lounge but nicer in woodlands restaurant. Lady supervisor in woodlands restaurant was the only professional staff member we encountered . We had booked for 2 evening meals in woodlands as part of our package but upon arrival, was told woodlands restaurant not open Tuesday eve so eat in the lounge where the food was just ok. Never got the second drink I ordered. Outside seating areas was lovely with the amazing views but area was not swept once and there were loads of cigarettes butts on the ground. Upon check out we were not asked if we enjoyed our stay , receptionist didn't even make eye contact. She handed us a bill with an additional charge of €60 for a meal that was already part of our package. No apology for error, just deducted the amount and reprinted receipt. Bed was comfortable and amazing scenery however we would not recommend this hotel.

I booked 2 rooms for my mums 60th birthday and we had the most lovely relaxing stay. The Leisure centre is beautiful. The front desk staff were so friendly. We really enjoyed the breakfast with the stunning view. The selection was fantastic. We had dinner on the evening of the 11th in the hotel restaurant and it was perfect. The stay was very special so a big thanks to all. We will be back.

So.... The hotel itself is very nice. Comfortable, staff are nice, price is amazing... But...the food in the hotel restaurant is poor... 1 out of 5 poor. The lamb shank overcooked and dry(which is hard to do) the beef bourguignon was more like a stew, very disappointing. Come here and stay, it's amazing but organise elsewhere for your food!

This place is wonderful. The staff in particular are extremely friendly and helpful. I loved the whole atmosphere of relaxation and comfort it excludes. It is spotless. The beds was large and comfortable and the food was excellent. As I say the staff were excellent but there were two in particular who went above and beyond to assist us. Amika and Cristina you were wonderful and deserve some recognition. I would certainty stay here again.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the Glenview Hotel. Our room was gorgeous overlooking the glen. The hotel is lovely and very in keeping with its beautiful surroundings. The hotel is in a wonderful location for exploring Wicklow. We drove directly from Dublin to drop our luggage then went out for the day to explore Powerscourt, Glencree and do a walk in Ballinastoe Woods. Next day we drove the 20 mins to Glendalough and back for dinner. Wonderful. The food in the dining room is lovely. The breakfast is good and you could ask for your eggs to be cooked to your liking if you didn't want the fried eggs on the buffet. Staff were lovely.

The best thing about the Glenview is the spectacular views. Otherwise not great. Bad service, bordering on rude from one waitress in the bar, and very mediocre food. Also ended up having our drinks before dinner in our bedroom because the lounge and library had been hired out to a private party and there was nowhere else to sit in peace, just the aforesaid noisy bar with poorly trained staff. Won't be back.

the conservatory bar - 1 star. To be clear the food isn’t bad, the staff are lovely. My one stars applies to how comfortable you feel when the manager is constantly shouting at his staff infront of guests. Each time the manager walked past us he was shouting at someone and would turn and smile at guests. If you must reprimand adult staff members working their backside off that should be done in private. Staff here are not given time to interact with guests and create a good customer service. It made for an unpleasant experience which led to us leaving and returning to our room. I also watched one of the bar staff having too much foam on the top of a drink he then blew on the drink to make it go down topped it up and served it. Glenview house- 3 star. Ground floor room. could smell cigarette smoke entering our room. Room next door to all of the conference rooms, constant flow of people, conversations and workmen outside of the room. No room service available and tv stations are very limited. After a few days of travelling and exploring the local area we really just wanted to sit in our room for a night off. Beds huge, comfortable and clean. Food is ok but limited. Breakfast was ok and charged to our room again after we had paid. Wasn’t a big deal as we just went to reception and they removed it, however not sure why this would happen. Overall this hotel is ok, it’s not great, it’s not terrible. I would say needing some updates. Lovely location however and beautiful views from the rooms.
