Glenroyal Hotel & Leisure Club in Maynooth

I spent a two-week stint here on business, and would likely stay here again. First and foremost, my room was in excellent condition when I arrived, both in cleanliness and wear. The bathroom was modern, and kept slightly warmer than the room, owing to a heated towel rack and heated mirror. The bed was firm but comfortable. I'm generally one that has issues with hotel beds and pillows and found this arrangement particularly comfortable. The room does fairly well isolating noises, and even kept the train noise situated maybe 100 meters away to a very dull level. If there were any desires, a small refrigerator would have been handy for keeping drinks cool. With the knowledge that my room had a master disconnect switch with the room key, it would understandable that a fridge would not be a feasible addition. The room was also radiant heat with no forced air. I found myself reducing the thermostat setting back to 18°C or less and opening a window for comfort at times. The housekeeping service also seemed to be somewhat inconsistent. While the bed was made up every day, the towel(s) that I left on the floor every other day were collected and inconsistently replaced. I was without a sink towel for several days. Other supplies seemed to come and go. Deficiencies were more noticeable on the weekends when there was higher occupancy. Nonetheless, the make-up of the room each day had its peculiar idiosyncracies, sometimes requiring me to reset a couple aspects to my preferences. The hotel features a fine dining restaurant and a breakfast/lunch cafe, both in good quality. There is also a full à la carte breakfast available in the morning. Supplementing this, there are plenty of establishments in Maynooth that are within a very short walking distance to choose from to vary your menu choices. Parking was sometimes a bit challenging, especially when occupancy increased over the weekends. This was exacerbated by spots blocked off for construction work, as well as a public membership fitness centre integrated into the hotel. Nonethless, I was always able to eventually find a spot, though it required walking all the way back to the front entrance to reach my room that was near the very back of the building. A key-carded entrance at the back of the facility would be a welcome addition. I found the staff here, for the very most part, warm and willing to help, often being greeted in passing. Overall, I had a comfortable and pleasant stay during the weekdays, with perhaps a slight bit of hassle and noise to contend with on the weekends. This establishment would rank near or at the top of my choices if I need to stay in the area again in the future.

Jamie the receptionist best guy ever he’s so nice

Eduarda was brilliant on reception. Extremely friendly. Hotel was clean, had all the amenities and breakfast was brilliant!

Quick escape with the kids for a night) Indoor swimming pool was used on 2 occasions. Staff very welcoming. Kids club was excellent including the gaming room. #a highlight of my son. Only comment is the room was very hot. Even with the windows open and thermostat turned to 15/ we felt it was like being in the tropics and had broken sleep.. Ana on the front desk very helpful and smiley which always compliments a stay.

Room 121 16th-18th feb 2026 We had a great stay in the Glenroyal hotel as always. The location is perfect and the swimming pool is fab and also the staff go above and beyond to help in anyway. We got great assistance from Ernie and Edmardia,they couldn't do enough to assist my mother who is just after getting a knee replacement. I would 100% recommend this hotel 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The room furniture and overall style felt a bit old-fashioned, and the space felt quite damp, with a noticeable smell and was cold at times. Considering the price, the value did not fully meet expectations. The hotel is also located a little outside the main center of town. On the positive side, the marketplace café is very pleasant and extremely convenient. I would especially like to thank Eduarta at reception for her warm welcome and excellent service — her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference during the stay.

It is a lovely place, with an amazing Leisure Club. High recommended.

Stayed in hotel , first i couldn’t find a parking spot , then we couldn’t find a seat in the bar , when we eventually got a seat we tried to order some pub grub but the menu only had pretentious food like lobster hot dog and oysters, we left and went to a lovely bar on the main street and returned for a drink and the bar was like a creche with kids running around at 10 30 at night , the swimming pool needs a family changing room as the mens changing room had a lot of kids , breakfast was very busy and there was long queues at the one coffee machine, any staff we encountered were very friendly and hotel was spotless

Excellent in all areas. Staff and service were fantastic. Kids loved it. I would recommend the Glenroyal especially for younger kids. Gaming room and cinema. Gives you an hour or 2 to yourselves.

We paid over €200 per night and unfortunately the experience did not match the price. There was no internet access on the room TV, which is something you would expect at this level. The staff in the main bar were unfriendly and unwelcoming, which really took away from the atmosphere. Food and drink prices were expensive for what was offered, with poor value overall. Considering the cost of the stay, we expected much better service.
