Eccles Hotel Glengarriff

Window ilopen as AC is risky

Location Beautiful hotel Beautiful spa

We stayed here for one night for a family meeting, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The location is ideal—just a short walk from Glengarriff town—but still peaceful and scenic. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, and the service was excellent. Rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a long day. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was a highlight: delicious food, generous portions, and great local ingredients. Breakfast the next morning was just as good, with plenty of choice for all ages. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a convenient, warm, and high-quality place to stay near Glengarriff. We’ll be back!

A lovely stay - wish I'd had more time there. Loved the cosy reception area with the open fires, esp since it was lashing rain outside. Room very comfortable and quiet with soft lighting and black out curtains.

Confortable et assez bien situé. L’hotel aurait toutefois besoin d’un peu de rénovation. Nourriture pour être modernisée

Fabulous hotel with very attentive staff

All to brief stay in great hotel in beautiful location.

No front ramp for dissabled garden needs attention . I do believe its for sale . Needs new owner.

The hotel is very old, and while well maintained and clean, not up to modern standards in a few ways. Elevator took us to the second floor but then there were two sets of stairs ( carpeted ) to navigate. Bathroom was nicely renovated but the door opened inwards making it difficult to easily enter the small space because of the placement of the sink. We could not open the window for fresh air more than a couple of inches. The staff were all very nice and welcoming, and the food was pretty good at breakfast and the one dinner we had. Nicest touch was the coffee maker in the room. The bed was bery comfortable, and the shower was great. It was fine, but not as good as we had anticipated.

Lack of small refrigerator.

Our room was on the third floor, so we had to get the elevator, it was then down two flights of stairs into a very small, hot and dark room where neither the WiFi or or phone signal worked. We went back to reception and asked if we can change rooms or even potentially pay more for an upgrade as there were rooms on all booking sites available. One lady on reception was pleasant and said no, the other was quite snarky and rolled her eyes at me for asking. The room we were given certainly was not a 4 star hotel room. Second to this, the meal was slightly overpriced for what we got. The steak was requested medium but came very well done. We didn’t bring this to their attention as the attitude I experienced when asking to change rooms put me off bringing any issues to their attention

Hotel needs some updating but nice big room with a gorgeous view.

Stylish, comfortable traditional hotel with outstanding sea views. Close to the excellent Blue Pool walk and Garinish Island.

It was once a grand hotel but has seen better days.

We have just come back after a 3 night stay. Our room 406 was clean & well equipped. However the nice new shower flooded the bathroom & at night you could hear a generator or something above the room that kept me awake…a big shout out to the lovely bar man (sorry we didn’t get your name) & Margo Donovan who was also lovely…food at this hotel is very good. We had a nice view over the sea.

We had an excellent stay in this characterful hotel. We ate at the bar and really enjoyed both the food and the service.

wonderful friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us . We didn't try the spa but the bar food and breakfast was great , we shall return

Historic hotel with old world charm. Lovely staff and complimentary breakfast that exceeded expectations—maybe our best breakfast experience in Ireland! Glengariff was also perfectly situated for our check in following our drive around the Ring of Kerry!

Lovely hotel with lots of character overlooking the water. Had a complementary upgrade to a Seaview room which was nicely decorated and clean. The room is a little small but suited us just fine. Breakfast was good in the morning with fresh pastries and a made to order selection. Spa experience was also nice overlooking the harbour

Luckily we were only staying one night - This was a 10 night trip staying in a range of hotels and this was the smallest room we experienced. I had to stand between the toilet and the shower (a narrow gap) to be able to close the bathroom door behind me. There was barely enough room in the wardrobe to hang anything (because of the bathrobes, ironing board and iron etc.) and only enough room for one of us to dress by the wardrobe at any time. We realise that the hotel is a listed building and they don't have the ability to create more space but it you have a choice avoid room 304. Service was helpful and food was good. Parking was plentiful outside the front of the hotel.
