Glendalough Vacations from $1,621

I know the desired "vibe" is that of a cozy, quaint accommodation, but I would rather have less cozy and more comfort and convenience. There's no mini fridge, and our room had only one chair. There was only a bar along the wall to hang clothes. The bathroom was quite large. I'd rather have less bathroom and more room. An upgrade was suggested at check-in for a room with a balcony, but as I saw from the outside, the balconies were tiny and IMO not worth the extra $. I have stayed in many hotels and motels, and I have never been charged for a continental breakfast. For $20+, the charge seemed way out of line - especially for such a limited selection. Having said all that, I really liked the sitting/lounge area. The access to a variety of complimentary beverages was much appreciated. The staff were very pleasant, and the location is very convenient for transportation and eats. It's a short walk to the CBD. As much as it seems I have complained, we did enjoy our stay. Still though, it wouldn't take much to make it an exceptional hotel. Make the rooms more accommodating - add a chair. Add a minifridge. Put in an armoire. Provide a complimentary continental breakfast. Really... those are little things that would make a big difference.

Comfortable bed Staff were good

Immaculately presented but no where for baggage in the room and WHO designed the lighting? Terrible. Dim lights everywhere. Bathroom hopeless as no brighter lights for shaving, make up. On the plus side top floor bar 1st class. No response to request for housekeeping. Slightly disappointed.

The man at reception was not very welcoming no smile or greeting & sounded abrupt. The bedrooms where hot with no aircon vents or fans. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. There was 1 small long life milk enough for 1 person, no ice in the freezer or jug for cold water as it was very hot in Perth. The restaurant was closed down & no shop nearby. Not a great stay.
