Pros:

Location is great, as it's right off the N25. Staff are friendly.

There's a nice picture of JFK in the lobby, and then it feels like the hotel hasn't been updated since that photo was taken.

The room keys are physical keys, the beds sagged terribly and reminded me of sleeping in a hammock rather than a bed (i.e., terrible night's sleep).

The bathroom sink had a double tap (one for hot, one for cold), so trying to get a slightly warm glass of water for my 2 year old felt kind of like a chemistry experiment (little bit of hot, some cold, maybe a bit more hot... nope, that was too much hot water, try again).

Attached restaurant had mediocre food. Nothing bad, but not great either.

Overall, feels like an old motel at the side of a highway because, well, it is.

3* with 5* excellence
Pros:

Booked two rooms for myself and family. First thing I noticed on arrival was how warm and inviting it looked. Next was the lovely welcome we received on checking in. We had two rooms adjacent to each other which were spacious, clean and very comfortable. We went for dinner and were greeted by the fantastic staff. Nothing was too much and service top notch. Dinner was cooked fresh and was just excellent. After a great sleep, breakfast was fabulous. I would highly recommend The Rhu Glenn Hotel. A family run hotel that greet you with smiles and a wonderful welcome. I loved this hotel as did my family. Service from all the staff was exceptional. 10 out of 10. We'll be back 👌

Clean, Comfortable Stay with Eco-Friendly Touches,
Pros:

The hotel was very clean, and the room — including the bed — was comfortable. I appreciated the eco-friendly touches, such as a jug of water in the room and a body wash dispenser.

Breakfast, however, was a bit of a letdown. The fresh fruit selection was sparse, and the juices tasted like they came from a carton. While the hot breakfast was served promptly and arrived hot — which was very welcome — overall, it felt expensive for what we received.

We were visiting the Fleadh in Wexford and were familiar with the area and have attended dances there over the years so we had no problem making the journey from Wexford.

Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

The hotel was easy to access. Check-in was quick and staff was lovely. Family room has multiple beds so good for families.

It was a bit noisy until about 12 due to an event. My kids are younger so had trouble falling asleep.

Outstanding stay!
Pros:

Our stay was excellent! The hotel is 10 min drive outside of Waterford, but was a great choice. The hotel is kept in great condition, the staff were outstanding - at reception, at breakfast and at the lounge/bar where we had dinner two nights. So attentive and friendly! Our meals were beautiful - just wish I had room for dessert! Highly recommend The Rhu Glenn.

Probably won’t stay again
Pros:

Hotels.com stated it had A/C when in fact it did not. The toilet didn’t flush properly so we had to use the lobby toilet. When I called the front desk her response was she could call a plumber in the morning- not helpful. Didn’t offer another room.

They didn't know how to make expresso....the first one was cold and was replaced by another one which was a bit better but still unsatisfactory.
