We didn’t like that the room was very small! Four steps to the bed from the door! The hotel was very, very warm and the windows only opened an inch. There was no bath and only one bathrobe in the room. The bathroom wasn’t very clean either. The hairdryer in the room had poor performance and there was only one socket at the door for to plug it in, Overall are stay was average at best! Very unimpressed for a 5 star hotel!

We stayed here as a family with our small baby for our wedding anniversary for 3 nights. As a 5 star hotel you expect top class luxury but I think the days of that are gone. The staff were so inexperienced. I know everyone has to start somewhere but there is a lack of training from reception to bar/restaurant staff. Our room was nice but lighting poor for doing hair etc. no coffee or tea in room and the door was ate which looked like teeth marks and carpet torn obviously from the hotel being dog friendly so left the room looking grubby. The bar for food and drink was expensive and there was no atmosphere. The Saturday night there was entertainment and it was poor to say the least. We’ve stayed in better 3 star hotels for a fraction of the price as here is very expensive. Only thing I will rate is the leisure facilities and a big shout out to Ciara who done my massage in the spa. Such a lady and fantastic at her job.

On the corridors running between the Bedrooms, the fitted carpets kept the areas very quiet, so was not troubled in the night. All the staff were always polite and well prepared to answer any matters raised. We have used the Hotel many times over the years, the basic quality has always been excellent, as it was this time under the new management. We will come again.

We had been upgraded to a suite , dog-friendly hotel was why we chose the property , along with the spa option and family swim. Some problems with the room technology and plumbing but thankfully Mary at reception really listened to our concerns and rectified things at checkout. Thanks, Mary!

Pleasant short break
We stayed 2 nights and this was our first visit since the hotel was renovated. The room we were allocated was 452 and unfortunately with it being at the very top of the hotel it was really noisy during the night when a storm started. We had to move rooms in the middle of the night to get to sleep - the staff were very helpful and accommodated us but we lost a lot of sleep. Breakfast was lovely and a lot calmer than it slides to be! I would suggest that the rooms need more storage for clothes as there are no drawers at all and also the room layout is strange as the TV isn’t portioned where you could watch it from either the seats or the bed. Just small suggestions that would help make it more comfortable.

Summer Family Time
Trip was outstanding from the moment we arrived at the Slieve Donard. Staff were very helpful and always on hand with assistance. Spa and swimming pool facilities were state of the art with pool being perfect for toddler. Decor of hotel was one of a kind with our room decor being first class. Bed was excellent however pillows were a little to soft however that’s only minimal in the whole hotel experience.

Amazing Hotel
We had a wonderful stay at the Slieve Donard. Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere with the mountains of Mourne as your view., We encountered the friendliest and most helpful receptionist ever, she was lovely and made a great first impression of the hotel. Amazing staff all round. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, and elegant with excellent service. Food was very good at Breakfast although the hotel was full, plenty of room in the breakfast room. Room 328 was amazing with sea and mountain views from your bed what more could you ask for when on holiday. The Spa was spotless and again the staffs were very attentive, what an experience watching the Sea from the Jacuzzi. We were extremely pleased with our stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.
