Had a fantastic 2 night stay at the slieve donard hotel,staff are amazing and friendly, got an upgrade room with fantastic seaview, the spa was amazing especially the jacuzzi, could sit in it all day,only slight negative comment would be,we booked a table in jj farrells restaurant on the Friday evening for a festive dinner, but were told that they weren't starting the festive menu for another few days breakfast was absolutely superb, an amazing choice,,thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back next year all being well

Amazing hotel and location. Clean comfortable and close to beach and walking distance to town
2.0 / 10.0
Sauna at 65 degrees
Eye stinging pool (chlorine doesn't sting, urine does!)
Drafty room, wind whistling through the door (no opening window!)
Very very poor dinner; forgot the sides, chicken served tepid, steak chewy as an old boot
House keeping woke us clattering Hoover's etc very early
Kept awake by other residents using lift opposite room; cm's gap at bottom of door inviting all noises in
Check out at 11, house keeping banging on the room door at 5 past, 10 past...
Had been looking forward to staying at the Slieve for some weeks. Plan was walking the Mournes then enjoying the spa. Disappointed to the point of frustration
Would strongly recommend eating dinner elsewhere
Lovely staff, great location but an abysmal experience

The staff were so friendly and attentive.
We adored the sea view room, perfect size, massive, comfortable bed and everything you need - a fridge, and wine cooked, tea, coffee etc.
breakfast was delicious and had lots of options.
The spa was lovely - only negative of the whole trip was the sauna was not hot enough. But it won’t put us off going back :)

It was our first time in the part of Ireland and we had a wonderful stay, we really couldn't have asked for more. Unfortunately we missed the option of getting a sea view but I believe we could have selected this if we spotted the follow up email but apart from the we had a stay that will live long in our memory.

Lovely staff, nice environment. Spa felt like a leisure centre, over crowded and no towels provided. Rooms lovely and comfy but had two cold-luke warm showers. Staff helpful and friendly. Overall, nice enough place but would not go back or recommend as a 5*. More like 3.5 or 4 and therefore overpriced.

The Slieve Donard is a grand hotel that has been lovingly restored and refurbished. The check-in process was quick and easy and the staff were very friendly. The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. There was a bit too much furniture in the room - quite cluttered with extra chairs which we didn’t need.
The dining options in the restaurants were excellent and Shelby was friendly and welcoming. The musing in the Wolf bar needs some attention though - sounds like lift music!
The spa area was lovely. Would recommend/return.

We were checking out hotels with spa services for a future trip. We enjoy thermal suites during our stays. We had just booked a massage the day before at the previous accomodation so we were looking forward to using the thermal suite at Slieve Donard. Unfortunately they don't mention, without a spa appointment you only have access to the community facilities. Usually places we stay allow guests access to the adult only facilities. The community area is nice, but not at all relaxing. I wish we would have known. Not sure we will stay again as it is a bit out of the way.

Having stayed here for our Covid honeymoon, we were really looking forward to returning to celebrate my birthday.
This is our first visit since the hotel had been bought over and renovated - it is absolutely beautiful.
The staff on reception and in the spa were great, but we were really let down by the staff during breakfast service. I think we asked about 3 different people for toast and coffee. We found the hot food options at the buffet greasy and hard from sitting too long on the heaters.

What’s not to love about this hotel, it’s fabulous. Treat yourself to a stay here, you won’t be disappointed. The rooms and common areas are great and the surrounding area perfect for a stroll. I’ll be back, with any luck!

Decent hotel but not 5 star. Breakfast is a low 3 star, facilities a good 4. Staff are amazing, however very over worked at breakfast. My room cost nearly £400 and I'll not be returning 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!

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.

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.

Good stay but little things could have made it better. No bottled water or kettle with teas or hot chocolate in the room with the little biscuits. Bathroom did not have anywhere to hang towels

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.

Great stay and on site swimming facilities are wonderful for the kids. Only downside to our stay was our bedroom was extremely cold throughout the night with no way to adjust the temperature
3.0 / 10.0
The service was good but overall condition of the room and hallway was not what you would expect for a 5*. We had a coffee stain on corner of TV unit and multiple cobwebs on ceiling. There was also a random bit of masking tape hanging from our curtain. The hallway around the lift needed a good hoover the entire time we were there. The room was dark with a lot of notable paint chips. Breakfast was nice and staff at restaurant and reception were attentive but general condition let the hotel down.
