We spent a night in Glenlo Abbey and we are glad that we did, the hotel is beautiful. Set within the grounds of their golf course you are surrounded by greenery. Inside the hotel is lavishly decorated whilst retaining a cosy feel. The staff could not have been more helpful and the food served in the Fine Dining Pullman restaurant was different and tasty

Excellent stay at the Nest. Very comfortable bed with 2 good pilllows, great shower and big towels, little fridge in the room with hangers and full length mirror. The staff downstairs were helpful and check in was quick. Decent kitchen downstairs where you can help yourself to water, tea and coffee. Two bus stops nearby outside where busses to town are regular and takes around 10 minutes to Eyre Square. The only minor thing was there is no hairdryer but I didn't expect there to be. I would...

The only minor gripe was that the grouting and sealant in the bathroom could do with being updated. Otherwise, everything was great, and we really enjoyed our stay!

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at - Kinlay just gets so many things right!
Dorm beds are comfortable with privacy curtains, light, power socket and USB. Showers are very good, with hooks for hanging items and shower gel provided. And finally a hostel that doesn’t charge or require a deposit for towels - fantastic!
There is a large and pleasant communal area, with a pool table and piano. The kitchen is large and has everything you need, plus there are lots of fridges and freezers....
