Sligo, although a small city, offers many food and entertainment options easily accessible from The Glasshouse Hotel. We even located a brand new and modern laundromat within in 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The staff members at this hotel were very polite and helpful. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Very nice, ac was super cold which I loved, the only thing was the hot water to shower, I think they turn it off at night, I come back from a pub at 1:30 am and try to shower with hot water, not happen. Next morning the water was hot, so I assumed they turn on the water heater during night.

Special shout out to reception team!

From the moment we arrived, the check-in staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The food in the restaurant was absolutely wonderful, and every member of staff we encountered was incredibly friendly. The rooms are decorated beautifully, with comfortable beds that made for a great night’s sleep. A special shout-out goes to the reception team for doing everything they could to accommodate us, their kindness and professionalism truly made it!

Very convenient location and excellent staff. However I was disappointed there wasn't a magnifying mirror in the bathroom, also the door card didn't always work in the lifts. Stairs could have been more clearly signed.

Well situated.

This is a very well situated hotel,inthe middle of Sligo beside the river with a view of swans.But the hotel itself is designed tp be functional,not comfortable. Moderate buffet breakfast.Neither the fried or the scrambled eggs were up to scratch.We did have a pleasant bar food meal one evening.Overall verdict,OK but not great!

Actual Room View Based on Lottery?!

We reserved - and paid for - a river view balcony room. We got a large corner balcony room that had a 6 foot metal barrier around the balcony completely obstructing the view. Great room, nonexistent view. We requested to be moved to a proper room and were told the room we were given was a “river view” and room assignment is based on “lottery.” Really?!? River view rooms were sold out and ultimately we had to push for an adequate reduction in the price, which should have been offered quickly. It should be illegal to advertise a room as having a view that requires a ladder to see!! We would have stayed somewhere else if we had been told the truth.
