Excellent, ideally located place to stay. Stay very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious both breakfast and dinner. Almost whole of our family/wedding party stayed here and all agree. Highly recommend it
My second time of staying here and recommended it to many friends/family to stay this time too. Great location, food was tasty and looking out onto the river was lovely as the weather was sunny. All very good!
Easy parking, pleasant check in (they upgraded us!), lovely room with view patio, and great staff and breakfast. Very pleased with location near so many shops and restaurants.
A very well run hotel . Staff are efficient and helpful . The setting is perfect . The hotel has lovely facilities and our room was gorgeous - with a view of the mountains . Thank you

Lovely staff at checkin and throughout our stay in restaurant and bars.
Fantastic location and facilities excellent
Wish we would have had another night at the hotel as we had originally planned. Had to cut it to one night due to a very aggressive travel plan. Might have bumped rating up to 5 if we could have experienced more of the amenities but we stayed only one night and were on a really tight time schedule. Staff was great. Gave us all kinds of good information on restaurants and pubs, which we took advantage of. Room was large, clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location on the river, right across from the best areas for shopping, dining and pubs. Parking was very convenient, with an attached garage. They had a very nice restaurant and bar area with some good live entertainment the night we were there. Unfortunately we couldn't take full advantage of it since we really wanted to explore the town and we had such a small amount of time. I would highly recommend The Glasshouse as well as spending a little time exploring Sligo and the surrounding area.
